As for the wiring, I think you've got it correct: run audio from each source to the 990 (digital audio for sources like DVD or HD cable/satellite, or analog if the source doesn't offer a digital output) and run video from each source to the scaler (either HDMI/DVI for sources that offer it or component, s-video, or composite if that's all that's available from that source).
Talking about macros got me thinking... A video scaler that could integrate with the 990 via RS232 and switch automatically would be pretty slick...
Quick questions.
1. What connection, if any is there between the 990 and the scaler?
2. Can a Direct tv receiver with component outputs be connected to the scaler and will the scaler improve the picture to a 1080P HDTV?
Am I better off getting the AVM50 and not have to worry about building macros for audio/video for my Harmony 880 remote or is it worth the hassle?
Thanks
