[QUOTE="Sephiro, post: 719404, member: 354896"] I actually assumed that as the DM8000 has a DVI output rather than an HDMI output that it would just carry picture without sound, however I've just removed the optical connection and switched my AVR over to use the HDMI connection for sound and I'm getting full 5.1 sound for channels that support it so it looks like you can safely ditch the optical cable. As for whether the HDMI pass-through will still work when your AVR is in standby it's really down to the AVR in question - my Marantz SR7002 has an option to keep the pass-through powered during standby (not that I have the option enabled) but I'd guess that some AVRs won't support this to bring costs down. Not owning a 3D tv I can't give you an answer on the 3D question, however there's been a bit of debate on the matter on avforums and it seems to be a bit hit and miss as to whether the AVRs with HDMI v1.3 will manage to pass through the video.
