So, you will need to go through speaker set ups in the player (how many? large or small? set the distances - the same stuff you did with your AVR when you first set it up).

LFE (the .1 channel) is sent to the AVR 10 to 15db lower than the other channels. So, you will need to boost it back up in your AVR in order for the bass to sound right. Many receivers have a setting for the analog inputs that will be called something like SW Boost.

Analog is a bit of a pain to set up. But, the audio quality makes it well worth it. It beats buying a new receiver just to get HDMI.

cool, thanks for the input.

so basic cables is ok to use? no need for those expensive gold plated ones right?
