I have a Yamaha 2200 receiver and a JVC DVD player with onboard processing and DVD Audio. I heard I cannot listen to DVD Audio unless I use interconnect cables from 6CH input on the receiver to 6CH output on the DVD player. Does anybody know if this is true? Would using this setup enhance DVD Video also? Thanks in advance.

YOU CAN LISTEN TO DVD-A WITH THE DIGITAL CABLE ONLY IF YOU WANT. BUT IT WILLNOT SOUND MUCH BETTER THAN A CD OR MOVIE. IF YOUR SET UP FOR 5.1 YOU CAN USE THE DD AND DTS PROSESSING IN THE DVD PLAYER. BUT IF YOU HAVE DD-EX OR DTS-ES 6.1 OR 7.1 SETUP YOU WILL WANT TO TURN OFF 6CH INPUT WHEN WATCHING A MOVIE, SO YOU CAN DECODE THE BACK SPEAKER. WITH BOTH HOOKED UP YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE DIFFERANCE IN YAMAHA DD DTS DECODING AND JVC DD DTS DECODING . THE BETTER WILL HAVE LEVEL AND DELAY ADJUSTMENTS AND HIGH BIT D/A CONVERTERS .MY GUESS IS THE YAMAHA WILL DO A BETTER JOB OF DECODING MOVIES,BUT ALL DVD-A PLAYERS HAVE GREAT D/A CONVERTERS FOR AUDIO SO COMPARE THEM AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK
