Finally! I got to bring my new babies home on Tuesday afternoon and I still haven't stopped grinning 
My new 1066 and 1075 are in their temporary home to the left of my RPTV until I get my custom rack built. Unfortunately the day after I get my new toys I try to come on here to post and HTGUIDE IS DOWN!?! 8O ...lol. With Halloween this week I haven't had much time to listen yet but I did get to watch my Canucks win a few games with the crowd all around me and we watched The Shining last night . We plan on continuing the horror theme tonight with The Others and hopefully I can convince the family to make the rest of the day a movie one 
I'm thinking the new Matrix DVD and maybe some Indianna Jones. Of course after I hooked it up Tuesday night I took a few minutes to watch the THX bit at the beginning of Raiders and then the infamous pod-racing scene from Star Wars :P :P I can't wait to get the chance to listen to some music but I'm waiting for my gear/cables etc to break in a bit before I do any serious music listening. Plus I have the girlfriend and step-daughter to take in to consideration.
I'm having one problem I'm hoping all you kind folks can help me with...
I tried connecting both the digital coax and stereo analog connections from my digital cable box to the 1066 and hoped to assign them to the same Video input. The thought was that with the 1066's default set to the coax if I have the cable box on a digital channel we would get the digital connection, if we change to an analog channel the 1066 is supposed to auto-sense that there's no longer a digital connection and try the analog. Hence making it much more user friendly for the girlfriend/daughter, as they would not have to change inputs from say video 1 to video 2 just to get the analog or digital signals. However that didn't work, I don't know if the digital box is sending some "base" signal at all times to the 1066 via the digital coax but even when I'm on an analog channel the 1066 stays with the digital connection and hence no sound. I either have to go in and manully change the default to analog or give the digital coax it's own video input designation... :cry: I've gone with the latter for now but this is by no means ideal, especially considering those two very important women in my life. Any ideas :?:
