The only way to get discreet 5.1 output is via optical. When you use the stereo connections the 360 with mix all the 5.1 channels into the stereo. You can virtual surround, but not true 5.1 surround.

Can't wait for DTS support hehe.

Sony HT-DDW670. Last time Sony Style have it for RM999. Good for small rooms and if you're not too fussy with custom settings. They have a new version going for RM1099.

Nobody looking at Yamaha RX-V1600 or RX-V2600?

Got very tons of inputs and 2 HDMI input. Good for ppl with PS3 and HDMI HD-DVD/DVD player.

After reading all the post I think I'm using dolby pro logic. Darn, now I'm itching to invest in another av receiver. Tot I can tahan with the current for another year or so.
