WOW....thanks for the fast reply. I'm new 2 home theater. I've got a small system in current home. I'm about 2 move in 2 my new home. I'm installing a new HTS. I've got a Sony Grand Wega HDTV 50WE655, Bose Acoustimass 10 Series III and have about decided on an Onkyo TX-SR502 receiver. I've currently have a basic Hughes Direct TV receiver. Would like to upgrade to optimize my sound and picture quality. Need component(video) and optical(audio) to get there. What do I need to get? Thanks for any help.

Well you need either the H-10 or the HR10-250 w/TIVO HD Receivers.

 

[olemissfan823]

Thanks for the help. The H-10 is just what I was looking for.

When I setup my H10, the default audio output was PCM. Make sure you check the Audio option on the Setup menu. It should be set to Dolby Digital output if you use the optical output to a Dolby Digital sound system.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to use the optical output 2 a Dolby Digital sound system.

So are the Sony SAT-HD300 & LG LSS-3200a (and others in this family); which is why I asked if he wanted what DirecTV or a dealer would give or if he wanted to know what the best boxes were he could still find.

You can get a much better box if you buy it yourself as opposed to taking only what the dealer offers on "special". You might be able to get a dealer to offer you the RCA DTC-210, which is one of the better "dealer offered" boxes.

I would call Robert at Value Electronics (mention you are a member for the discount) and get the best boxes, not the cheapest.

I have a RCA DTC-210 that I need to sell PM me if you are interested, even if you are an Ole Miss fan! GO VANDY!!!!!! Just kidding, I'm a Memphis fan and we should have won a couple of weeks back.

I have a 4 month old H-10 i'll sell for a 100$ plus 15$ for shipping. Have everything that goes with it, I upgraded to the Tivo
