I would like to use my Sony STY DE-475 in a 2 speaker + subwoofer setup with a Samsung R7 LCD TV and a dvd player. This will be used to play music (radio, cds, ipod) and watch dvds.
I haven't bought my dvd player yet but if I did buy one of the latest on the market (with hd), what's the best way to set it up? Since the sony receiver doesn't have digital video output, I would be downgrading the signal if I pipe video through it as well right?
Yes, it would downgrade.
Simply run an HDMI cable to the LCD from the DVD player. Now, use the digital audio output of the DVD player to run to the receiver. I know the Sony has an optical input which i recommend over the coaxial input as the optical cable doesnt waste any energy as a medium transferring sound since its only light.

Hey remington870,
Thanks for that. A follow up question: Will I then be able to use the Sony remote to control the DVD and TV?
