Bronze Member Username: TommyvRowlett, Texas Post Number: 28 Registered: Aug-06 | i have a question about setting this up properly as i have always used digital outputs. I have a denon dvd player and a roltel reciever. the denon has the ability to set speaker distances and levels and all of that but i have already made those adjustments on my reciever. is it necessary to set that on the dvd player when using the analouge outs? is it somthing that is adjusted for during the decoding process? on a side note can anyone recommend a quality (sounding) interconnect cable at a reasonable price? thanks alot. |

Just make sure that the levels on the DVD player are equal. As far as interconnects, check out the ones from Acoustic Research.

When using your multichannel inputs, you defeat digital bass management so if you are using smaller speakers less capable of bass below 80hz or so, be sure to make the changes in the DVD player (small speakers/80 or 100hz crossover point).
