just recieved my 1050 from a nice guy in new hampshire. so far great! BUT had the same problem as painttoad. old sony with digital cable out. will have to dig for the manual. onscreen menu is in greek. hopefully same fix. did spend $98 on a toshiba universal 4960. be here next week. figured id try the new formats for that kind of money. supposedly doesnt do anything great but more importantly nothing really bad. gonk question. show my newbeness. if i connect the new player with 5.1 analog and optical depending on whats playing will the 1050 choose or will the 5.1 hookup override thanks guys.
