Hi George,

On HH2 day I asked Richard 'How are we to get the benefits of Speakerlink to all speakers and why should I upgrade all my speakers if the processor does not provide speakerlink connection? Just to play the 808.2 through the front pair?'

He responded: AC11 !

So, I invested in one of these devices!

Unfortunately, the 808.2 didn't just lose DVD-A playback capability but also the AUX SPDIF output, as you rightly say.

The investment in Meridian products never ends!

Cheers!
