[QUOTE="Brian Bolly, post: 76904, member: 32"] Re: Help putting playback system together, please. Sean, Steve makes a very good point. Even to do this with a piece of consumer/prosumer hardware is going to run you $1k+. Most discs give you the option of outputting PCM stereo, or some sort of simplified mix, but in order to even downmix and/or pick off channels, you need to decode it first. The most simplified, idiot-proof way I can think of putting this together is with a decent (pro/pro-sumer) receiver with balanced XLR outputs and let either the playback device or the decoder do the downmixing. Denon makes a nice little box for under $1200 (DN-500AV) that would probably do the trick, in combination of your BluRay player of choice. [/QUOTE]
