Good evening. Question ... I'm redoing my living room setup. New TV (50" HDTV replacing 36" SDTV) and new universal player (1080p upconverting over HDMI). In my old set up, I had the SACD player setup to output stereo and fed those two leads to the 1050 and the DVD-Audio player hooked up via one of the digital connections.. In the new setup ... should I do the same (i.e.; let the universal player down-mix to stereo) or should I feed all 5.1 to the 1050 and let it do the down-mixing to stereo?

There will certainly be a digital connection (probably optical) as well to support the movie audio.

Any thoughts or opinions that anyone would care to share with me?

Thanks,
