Onkyo HT-S9100THX

The good: Outstanding audio quality; 7.1 surround sound speaker system with full-size speakers and subwoofer; component-style AV receiver included; four HDMI inputs, onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio; can upconvert analog sources to 1080i.

The bad: Upconverting video quality is mediocre; speakers are large and boxy, so they need a lot of room and may detract from your decor.

The bottom line: The Onkyo HT-S91000THX breaks the HTIB mold, offering four HDMI inputs, full-size speakers, and the best sound we’ve heard to date from a home theater in the box system.”

Dolby DIGITAL should be set to AUTO mode, and you should use the Optical or the Digital Coax inputs for your surround sound OUTPUTs to your Amp…..

Then the Stereo inputs will automatically get set to stereo….

AUTO has enough brains to distinguish the signal types and set it up accordingly…..
