HK AVR 500 & 6 Channel Direct

Chas Majewski New member Username: Cmajewsk Washington, DC Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-05	Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 00:01 GMT I have this recevier for about 6 years. I finally hooked up 6 Channel Direct from the DVD player w/ S Video - looks great sounds great. I am wondering what the Coax and Digital Out even do? The manual doesn't even say what kind of singal (A or V) either one carries. I searched on the web but came up with no "real" answers. Any ideas if I even need to use these outputs? And if so, for what? Thanks in advance for all your help, CM

I am wondering if I need to use them, and if so how? What signals do they carry? Better to go with Optical over coaxial? I have no clue....
