Re: Connecting up that Mess of Equipment

That thought had occurred to me. But I haven't yet investigated just
how much switching higher-end receivers have. And this receiver is
perfectly adequate for my needs otherwise.

As for AC3 sources, there's the DVD player, as you pointed out,
and the DSS receiver. There is also, believe it or not, another DVD
player that I didn't mention. This one is a DVD drive in a computer
downstairs. The reason I mention it now is that I use it to view Russian movie DVD's. Got tired of watching them on the computer screen, and obtained a 50-foot Svideo cable to hook it up to the big TV upstairs. So that's a third source of AC3 audio and Svideo.

If there is a "many-to-many" switch that does svideo and AC3
and composite video and stereo audio for a couple hundred bucks, I'd
snap it up. But no such item seems to exist.
