Good afternoon everyone,

I need a little help understanding a few things about how my DVD player affects the sound in my system.

My receiver is a Yamaha RX-V2500 and my DVD player is a Toshiba that I paid about $200 for a couple years ago. I have the DVD player connected to the receiver using a Coax connection. I am using the DVD player to also play my CD's.

I've no real complaints with the sound quality, but am I missing out by not having something better? Is the DVD player affecting the sound quality, or because it is hooked up with a digital out is the receiver doing all the sound processing? Will upgrading the DVD player help me in any way? Should I have a dedicated CD player?

My speakers are T90e (Monitor 60) fronts, Monitor 30 surrounds, and an RM202 center.

Thanks for the help,

tim

    Given your current set-up I would say you're fine using the Tosh DVD. Maybe down the road if you get into seperates you might want a dedicated CDP.
