Yup it is

Its connected to the OpenMedia via Optical cable so i get the Dolby Digital channels through my 5.1 setup which is good

Very good for films.

Nice setup mate! Although its a shame your an xbox guy over ps3!
Just wondering what your open meida is like. Im looking to hook something up to my sky digi dish to create a setup like yours. Box worth getting?

Well I have a PS3 in my brothers room but thats just broke, and my XBOX is now broke too. So looks like i Dont have any consoles :\ Which is not cool.
The OpenMedia is good, but since Cable side is pretty much useless, half the box is useless so your best off getting just a 500S and connecting it up.

I have the same amp but cannot fiqure out how to set the damn thing up! So went and bought a Denon one instead! A lot easier, so have relegated the Yamaha to the spare room
