Yes, it comes with SmartLink (3x coax), RS232 and DIN comms cables. I can't remember if it also comes with a coax comms cable, but I think not (which is a bit weird).
MConfig - you need to connect the RS232 to the HD621.
AAC - no idea.
excellent news on the cables. means I don't need to buy any and as soon as it arrives, I can get going. a bit of a shame that the controller can't span out config settings to other things on the comms bus though. but I guess if it comes with a cable (been using USB for the G68) then I can at least hook it up.
that said, the config I've done in MConfig so far I've matched the inputs to the defaults on the back, so hopefully I won't need to do so much.
as regards the comms cables. do we know why there are two kinds? I'm guessing the DIN version is the older type and the coax/BNC version is newer? can one only use one type, is there any advantage of one over the other?
I have eventual plans to get a 3 set of DSP33 speakers so should I start using DIN comms now?
Re : AAC , the option is only there because , mysteriously , 861 cannot use it so it should be set to ' No' for that . Your G68 can handle AAC so you can set it to ' On'.
~M~
the 861 doesn't support AAC? how bizarre. I'll turn it on though I guess and see what happens when I try to feed AAC to it from the popcorn hour
