Help!!! finding the best setup?
ok after reading endless arguments of best setups for what I need on numerous pages I turn to you guys for help, here is my components
Sony KDF-46E2000 46 TV
Pioneer VSX-1016TX Reciever
Paradigm Atom Monitor fronts
Paradigm Monitor CC-190 centre
Playstation 3 and a SA 8300HD PVR from Rogers
I intend to connect all components via HDMI, and finallyI have read that I should set the PS3 to Bitstream, than another argument is for PCM, any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

The TV is a good value. Nice unit. Personally I like the DLP in RP, but that is a good price for that set.
I'm not a Pioneer receiver fan. Sorry. With those nice of speakers, I go H/K, Denon or maybe Onkyo.
If you want for games, then yea the PS3 is fine (I have one). But if not for games I'd go the Toshiba HD DVD player.
Nothing wrong with what you picked out....there just is no universal "best" system (well except for Krell amps and some high end B&W's
)

What is your question about? How to connect the listed equipment? Whether or not others think this list of equipment is good? Or are you asking about how to setup the audio options?

I apologize for the vaugness of the question, it should read what is the best way to connect all the components together via HDMI, and what about the PCM or Bitstream selection on the PS3, what is the preferred setting?
