please send me a pm. Think i got the VCR sorted out. Tried the blu-ray player next and while it shows a nice picture on the plasma there is no sound. I tried the cd player next and the sound was very nice so at least those connections are correct as far as the back of the 950 goes. So..what am i doing wrong..still..:(
Would go through the OUtlaw forum but not alot of activity there...

how do you got the blueray player hooked up....digital? gotta configure the digital inputs. and last I remember, I think you gotta use the menu through a TV screen to do it (at least thats the way the 990 is)Living Room 2 Channel -

The outlaw, if I'm correct, doesn't do the new BR codecs. Some BR disc also don't have a DD/DTS soundtrack either and a lot of BDP's these days don't have 5.1 pre-outs. To get the newer codecs into the outlaw, you would need a player with analog outputs.
Time to go shopping, upgrade that outlaw.HT SYSTEM-

while they do not have HDMI they do have DVI and they sell HDMI to DVI cord -
950 has no DVI, only component. What bluray player is it, and are you using a digital connection or multi-channel analog outputs? I disagree with Tony that it is time to upgrade the pre. Get on ebay and get a Sony BPD-S550 that has multi analog outputs and converts everything internally. You can get it for less than 100 bucks. The sound will be very good on the cheap.Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

sorry guys thought it had DVI. I remember looking at one that did have DVI

970 and 990 have DVI, and I think everything after that has HDMI. I have thought about picking up a 950 on ebay because sometimes they go for as little as 100 bucks in good condition, but with an (almost) all in-ceiling HT the necessary amps would be a waste of money...Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

True, he can go that route. However, using the analog outputs also has it's disadvantages. If one speaker goes down, some BDP won't allow you to re-route that portion of the signal like a receiver/processor can, so that info is lost. Plus that's 6+ more cables to buy which also add up. Having HDMI compliant gear limits the cables needed and also allows for other gear to be easily compatible.HT SYSTEM-
