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?

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 smile
