AboutMatt Rasmussen Expertise I can answer questions on audio setup, audio theory, and anything in between for commercial or residential installations. I am a certified Crestron programmer and have been in the custom integration industry for 15 years. Besides working in this field, it is also my hobby.
Please no car audio, I have no experience in that field. Keeping it to 'small' room systems would be a plus (IE no stadium questions...if you have to ask, don't do them).
Experience I have been in the custom integration industry for 15 years engineering various types of audio systems such as home theater, AV conferencing, and live reinforcement.
Education/Credentials Audio Engineering degree as well as the school of hard knocks. Out of college started as an installation technician and have worked my way up to lead engineer and lead programmer for a leading integration company in Minnesota, real world experience could be my middle name.

Question Hi. I saw an answer from you, to a question regarding the Panasonic HT720's DVD player no longer functioning. I am having the same problem. You suggested connecting an external DVD to the VCR input of the receiver. Can you tell me if I will still get the audio from the HTS speakers using a DVD player that also plays music CDs, if I connect it to the VCR input?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Answer Hi Patrick,
Not sure that it was me whose answer you saw. But yes, if you hook to the AUX input of the receiver, you will get audio. But, you will not get digital audio. Pro Logic would be the best you could do with that setup...NO DTS or DD.
