For your HT how many inputs do you find to be the right amount?

The number of inputs vary according to the equipment

My system I have

1 optical Xbox

1 fire wire interface for the DVD

1 digital coax for cable box audio

1 set of rca for cable box

It is somewhat embarassing when I look at all the conections and how few I am using.

My TV has enought video inputs to wupport all my connections without going through the receiver.

The number will vary to fit the particular HT. I think.

Hofy,

It is a good idea to get more inputs than you currently need. When you add another source, you do not have to upgrade your receiver.

Currently, I use all three component video inputs on my receiver, and I use four digital audio inputs. Three audio inputs are optical and one is coaxial. I prefer optical cables to cut down on system noise, but optical cables break very easily. CDs allegedly suffer from jitter when optical cable is used, but I cannot detect it.

CDs should send a PCM bitstream to the receiver assuming that the receiver has the better DACs. The receiver does bass management. This requires another digital input unless you use a DVD player for CDs.
