Purchased the Onkyo TX 805 receiver and the Toshiba HDA35.  Total price with tax was 1388.  They threw in 2 hdmi cables and 2 optical cables and said that is what I would need to hook everything up.

I resemble that.   Wink

Why do you need the optical cables?

Google tells me that "Nonlinearity is the behavior of a circuit

What the Aske man is referring to here, is the speakers should be compilmentary to each other in terms of tonal quality.  Basically, you want your front, rear, & center speakers to sound as identical as possible.

Don't Know That is exactly what I thought.  So, I asked and he explained that the optical cables will take sound from DVR box to receiver and DVD player to Receiver.  Won't know for sure until I get the 2 devices.  Should be received within the next 5 work days.

The (HD-)DVD player has HDMI and you'll definitely want to use one of the cables there.  You might need optical for the DVR.

Anything else in the mix besides the A35, SR805, DVR and display?

Well, I got the info I needed here.  Also thought that hdmi carried both video and sound, so I was perplexed with the optical cables.  But what the hey, he didn't charge me for any of them, so I figured - don't fight it.

Right now, I'm feeling that I got what I need. Thumbs Up

Won't be surprised to read later that there is more for me to get to add to this collection.  Grin

I'm looking at the same set-up thanks to all the feedback from Aske and rickhicks, though I have to spend a lot more to get the basement finished first.  If I buy the stuff now, my wife will just think I'm adding to the clutter...

I have really been trying to figure out how to make the media room a play room for me with an indoor golf simulator (12' ceilings in the basement, with a dedicated 15'W x 24'L x 12'H media room space), but can't find a good solution for < $10k for the simulator package...

ENJOY!!!

look on Ebay.  Typically always a Dead Solid simulator on there to be had for well less than 10 k.
I've played on one, and it's decent.  I'd own one if I had room, and the ceiling height.  Sad

Damn you, Stroh!!  I had resigned myself to keep from pursuing the course, so to speak, though will have to check with ebay.  After seeing the bid on the basement (primarily living space for my folks when they retire, and some office space), I might have to hold off on that room for now.  12' ceilings will be cool, but the framing and sheet rock will cost a ton.

I've seen the Dead Solid Golf stuff, though never played on one.  I tried getting my wife and parents to consider something like this (check through all of the slides):  http://www.golfdigest.com.../2007/08/golfroom?slide=1.  They did not see the vision - and we all saw the price tag.

I was also looking at Tru Golf (former guys from Links Golf Software, down in Utah), http://www.trugolf.com/en...rtainment_rooms/index.php, but their set-up for a combo home theater and simulator is in the $40k range.  The call ended rather abruptly upon hearing that price.
