Hi All,
These questions have been bothering me since i got my Onkyo 606 AV last week ..Hope some one can clarify
1 ) My Hathway Cable Digital set top box ( hyd ) is connected to the AVR through RCA cables .. and the AVR is connected to the 5.1 speakers ..
Will AVR decode the audio signals from the various TV channels to 5.1 mode or its just the stereo i hear from the 5 speakers irrespective of which TV channel i am watching
2 ) If its just stereo i am listening for tv transmission and need a 5.1 DVD or other source equivalent source to listen to 5.1 sound ..then my DVD player which has 5.1 output would do the job ..where is AVR adding value apart from connecting multiple sources
