I am in the process of connecting my new XA2 ($499 at BB) but have a question regarding the audio connection. I do not want to blow anything up.
My pre/pro has inputs for 6ch analog which I intend to use for HD DVD content in order to use the new audio formats ( I have no HDMI imput). However, I also intend to use the XA2 for SD DVD which typically uses only DD or DTS. When I make the connections do I use only the 6ch analog inputs or do I also use the optical or digital inputs. If both are used will the player automatically detect the digital bitstream and ignore the 6ch analog. Not sure how all this works together. Please advise I am anxious to get started.
