I am assuming that the Tempest, with HT Bypass, would run the HT signal thru to the Amp, bypassing the volume control so that the HT Processor would still control volume. Is this correct?
My DVD player is doubling as a CD player, so would I use analog outputs to the Tempest for 2 Channel CD, and Digital output to the AVR for Surround? Thus, I would have to switch the Tempest to HT for DVDs, and CD for 2 channel. I could probably program a macro on the AVR remote to automate this.
