You can assign the same input and just switch from External to Cinema 1. It also makes the audio calibration work out much better based on the instructions I wrote out in my previous post.
I spent this weekend working on the cabling inside my rack to complete the Oppo BDP-95 installation. I hooked up the coaxial digital output from Oppo to my MX119. The sound quality took a big hit going from external to Cinema1 on the MX119. It is really noticable. The Cinema1 setting seems to be a bit muffled in comparison. Do you notice the same or have I done something wrong? I think I'm going to have to take you up on the offer to borrow the calibration disc.
