Cable help for NEWBIE

Hi all: I have a Marantz SR8000 Receiver (DD/DTS-24 bit/96kHz)@105WPC, and just purchased a Denon DVM 3700(used)DVD/CD changer that suports these features. At present, the setup will be a 2 channel system (Maggie MMG'S as fronts). My question: what cabling will I need? Additionally, the back of the Denon DVD has two(2) slots: 1.Coaxial and 2.Optical, however even though I have the manual for both Units, I sadly can't quite comprehend how these 2 outputs comes into play.I was hoping that you kind experts could help.

Mandrake, sorry, to get 5.1, you will need the rest of the speakers(center, surrounds, and sub)....LR

If your going to start from scatch, match all the cables (digital, speaker, rca) with one company. So you get even integrity. My suggestion is Kimber. Contact them for a cataloge. All of there items are grade A.

Since someone else made a commercial recommendation, I'll make one too: contact stnemo@starpower.net, designer of Stealth cables, explain your situation and system, and IMHO you'll be very glad you did. I don't think they can be beat, and certainly not dollar for dollar.

The best advice i can give is stick to one brand.that way you get the same sonic signiture.Dont spend crazy money its not required.I have the Marantz SR-880.Its a very nice unit.Though spending more than 199.00 on interconnects is not required.Be careful with some of the silver stuff.Its can be bright in some systems.Find someone who will allow you to try cabels.The Cable Company sell a ggod variety and used cables are you best bang for the buck.Good luck enjoy the music.Keep your runs to your speakers as short as possible.Your better of with longer IC.
