Too many wires and objects for me. That's why I now just use wireless HP's or whatever speakers the TV comes with. The problem I always had with external setups was I always had to play with the volume all the time. If the voices weren't too quiet then the music was too loud from one channel to the DVD player to another channel, seemed every different show on TV required adjustment in volume despite compression techniques. Doesn't seem bad at all with crappy, low amplified speakers. *shrugs*
Didn't mean to go beyond the scope of the thread btw.
