I have a new ToshibaHD A2 and a Pioneer VSX 1015 receiver. I believe the highest quaility sound output, True HD or DolbyHD, is only available thru he HDMI output. There is no such input in the receiver. It is however hooked up with the optical SPDIF cable but the sound is less than impressive. Can someone suggest the output setting from the player or THX/Surround option to maximize sound performance.
Thanks,
robnshrn

According to the specs of your AVR it does not seem to support Dolby HD or True HD. So, your best bet is to check if your HD DVD movies have Dolby Digital, THX, or DTS and use those modes as your preferred output. Use the Digital audio output for best audio quality.
"It also features advanced surround processing, with DTS-ES Discrete, DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital EX, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding."

Optical Output is what you want to go.
Make sure the settings are calibrated for the Optical out.
Put your reciever on the correct input/audio detection setting.
HDMI = Carries Video and Audio
DVI= Carries just Video

If you listen to uncompressed audio then only hdmi 1.3v can deliver that. However since your receiver doesn't support that function, any coaxial, optical, dvi and hdmi should all sound the same

The best input to use would be the SACD input, the one that looks like six RCA's and says multi-channel in.

If it has DVI, then the highest possible one is the DVI sound port. The wire is for Digital Audio, and that's the second best... I think.
