I have a current Panasonic 50" plasma and I'm about to get a Denon 3930ci universal player.I have an early 90's Luxman preamp. A friend said that I need a preamp that handles optical inputs to fully utilize the new DVD/CD player. Is this correct?
Follow Ups:
The issue is audio, not video, since the Luxman is audio only. Run the best video connections to the Panasonic (Component or HDMI).Take the analog audio from the Denon player to the Luxman which, I am assuming is 2 channel only. Just make sure that you set up the Denon, via its many menus, to output stereo only. That is, you must tell it that you do not have a center channel, surround channels, rear channels or a subwoofer. Then, it will feed all the sound to your stereo.
Of course, if you want surround, you need to expand your system.
But...
if your tv doesn't have component inputs, you may get stuck using S-video. Of course, that would be true in any case, I guess.
