how should i move forward...blu-ray etc...?

Why cant it pass the signal from an internal Blu Ray decoder?

Original post states Casanova, not Casablanca processor.. Isn't the Casanova model slightly different than the Casablanca on which it's based? Unless I read their website incorrectly, it looked to me like the Casanova has analog ins, "two pair analog L/R, plus one pair rear L/R, a center and sub... Of course this may have been an optional card which your particular unit lacks..

guys thanks for the discussion first of all!

mine is configured as i wrote...here is how the manual reads describeing that portion of the rear panel layout:

analog input card. six stereo rca inputs are provided for any line level analog aoutput device such as vcr, laserdisc, cd and dat players, phono preamp, eternal d/a converters, tape deck, am fm tuner etc. there is one pair of analog tape outs for recording purposes and one pair to route to another area (zone 2). the zone 2 output is controlled seperatley from the main analog output levels.

goes on about video input card and digital input card...

i also emailed theta this morning to see what they suggest...i will post what they say as well..

great discussion so far!

oh and yes, it is a casanova, not casablanca but sounds like the same configuration...

if you go to theta's site and library, product manuals, casanova, owners manual pdf page 16 shows the exact rear panel layout i have.
