Holydoc ,

DVD audio output: optical toslink over to the 990
DVD video output: Component video straight to TV

I guess the 990 DAC is really good...

Scientific Atlanta HD Cable Box
audio: coaxial dig to 990
video: Component video straight to TV

I have the older Pioneer CRT 53-inch projection TV, model 533HD5...when the 1st/2nd generation flat panel TV's came out, they still could not hold a candle to the old Pioneer image. 480P looks real good, 1080i like Discover channel looks breathtaking! I figured I did not need to add the 990 into the equation for video.

Between the 990, anthem amp, and a new URC remote, I burned through my whole tax refund!!...
