I thought connecting my new Outlaw 770/990 would be snap, but with all of the component/digital/analog/DVI connection options I am more confused than ever. Do I have to route my video signals through the 990? What are the advantages or disadvantages?

I have a 32" Sony XBR TV that has component video inputs, but no component outputs. Do I connect my DVD player video outputs to the TV or the 990 or both?

The owners manual does not provide a diagram for connecting a monitor. Any help in trying to get this connected simply would be greatly appreciated.
