Try to set in your DVD player software (PowerDVD,WinDVD,etc),in speaker setting, dont select 2.1ch,5.1ch or 7.1ch..Select something like 'External Receiver', 'Optical out' or ' SPDIF out'..

R u using LCD or 4:3 CRT? If u r using 4:3 CRT like me, then u can try adjusting resolution a bit.

For my TV, if i set to max 1280x720 in 720p mode, The image will goes off the screen and i'll miss some of the info, so i set it to about 11xx x 6xx, which is just about nice. I didn't notice much black bar at side when zooming in.

Looks nice but can upgrade or not? I'll need to put in at least 2 PCI Cards (TV Tuner and Sound card...i don't want onboard sound for my HTPC).

Not much of a problem wat, use coax/optical cable.

Size and functionality can only choose one currently..Another good thing about the acerpower is the power consumption..90W for amd64x2.. Acer has upgraded to put 1GB ram into it from 512MB previously.. And i plan to upgrade its warranty to 3 yrs as the components would be expensive to replace later .. sweat.gif
