Hey guys, My dvd player recommends that besides having either the coax or optical hooked up to my reciever for sound, and that I should also hook up the plain ole' rca's as well but gives no reason? any idea why, and do I really need to do this? Thanks, Josh |

No, you don't need to do this. Even if the dvd is analog stereo, the player will use the optical line to send the signal to the receiver. |

on the topic of cables would a thicker coax cable from my subwoofer to my reciever help out, it came with a dinky thin little thing, wondering if it would make a difference to upgrade a little bit, granted I don't want to spend 30 dollars on a monster cable as I'm not that "audiophile" crazy..but I do like a nice system for the funds available. |

Thanks Berny... Can anyone give me a recommendation on a subwoofer in the 200 dollar range? I live in a 12x12 dorm room, so spending more than that is overkill.. I was looking at these at a quick glance...
