Connecting DVD player outputs to TV/receiver
Hi all,
I just bought Onkyo HT-S670 home theater system, have a few newbie questions will appreciate if someone can answer these:
For connecting DVD player receiver gives you choice of using optical or coaxial cable. Is one gives the better output as compared to other. On this message board I have seen a few posts where people preferring coaxial over optical is there any particular reason for that ?
Right now I'll be connecting only the DVD player, is it okay if I leave the video output of DVD player directly connected to TV using component cable or for some reason it has to go through the receiver which only has S-Video for both input as well as ouput.
Another question I have is about the quality of speaker wires. If I replace these with some 16 gauge cables would it improve the quality.
Last but not least how is the quality of products from acoustic research as compared to Monster cables ( which are considerably expensive).
Thanks!
