uh oh, i just thought of something...
1)hd box to tv via dvi/hdmi cable
2)dvdp to tv via hdmi
problem: how do i get the audio to my int. amp with these connections? can i flow all audio from the tv to the amp with 1 set of ic's? would that degrade the sound substantialy due to the extra connnection? or, will i need ic's for each source from the tv to the amp? in that case would component video from the source to the tv and audio ic's directly from the source to the amp be a better overall product? ooohhh boy! i think, preferably, i want a direct audio connection to the amp. thanks again for your insight!
