Thanks Gonk for all the info!

Monoprice is my favorite place to buy cables but to me their Premium connectors on their A/V cables don't always fit tight on some equipment even though they certainly seem to be high quality (regular connectors not near as nice).

1. Should you use 5 identical cables from say Monoprice or would you notice any difference using different audio cables you might have on hand?

2. Can Component cables be used for audio I actually have a couple not being used?

3. Looked over your setup guide for the 990/83 but noticed the 6900 doesn't have near the settings the Oppo has. Do I understand correctly that all the speakers in the 6900 speaker setup should be set to large and subwoofer on?

4. There is a test tone button to set up the speakers but I'm assuming I don't use it since the 990 does that correct? I don't see anything about distance or trim.

5. Are you saying in your guide that you should have both 5.1 analog outputs and Coaxial/Optical digital outputs hooked up at the same time?
