the pioneer website didn't specify which model has optical input.

is its safe to assume Pioneer htp-705, htp-504, htp-500 and htp-2700 all have optical input?

how about china brand receivers? any of them support HDMI and uncompressed PCM? i think those china brand 5.1 [receiver + speakers] is quite affordable, eh? especially for ppl not so fussy about sound quality and on a budget.

haha, i don't want to spend too much for the audio system, since my interest in movies or music is close to nil. and the wiring for back speakers is kind of a pain (in own room only). so maybe will try those cheap china brand system and connect 3.1. u think sub RM500, can get?
