The same reason why you don't do it when just listening in 2.1...or DD5.1 or DTS.

I know Walmart is cheaper than iTunes, but it's still Walmart -- the bane of the entire planet. If you have iTunes installed, use this link:

I know it's not the best solution, but it's better than a 200hz crossover, no?

Everybody complains about the 200 Hz crossover for DVD-A, but I don't really notice it when I'm playing DVD-A's.

I have never tried setting the speakers to small on the 563a. I will give it a try and compare when I get the chance.

Do you want to spend big bucks? If so, then you could. But definately not neccesary.

For DVD's you'll need a digital coax cable or an digital optical cable. For DVD-A and SACD, you'll need six, yep, six analog RCA cables. I wouldn't spend too much on the cables. Doesn't make any sense to spend more on the cables than you do the player. The days of analog cables are numbered anyway. Very soon you'll have one, maybe two cables coming out of your DVD player. One digital video and one digital audio.
btw...picked up the 563a at lunch today. I'll have it hooked up tomorrow.

The days of multiple cables are numbered. I can hardly wait. One cable from player to recevier will be grand. I just wish HDMI would hurry up and be accepted as some sort of standard so all manufacturers would start incorporating them into DVD players, receviers, and display devices.

i have an older onkyo dv-s555 dvd player. i'm still using s-video. i have not made the commitment/jump to hdtv yet.
anyways, i'm wondering if i'll even buy many SACDs/DVD-As if i picked up the pioneer.
wonder if the pioneer would be any better PQ or SQ wise than my onkyo?
