Is anyone using only HDMI connects for audio & video from their Tosh XA2 to their A/V receiver?

If so, what audio out settings are you using on the XA2 (HDMI=auto, PCM, etc., SPDIF=bitstream, etc.) Also, has anyone calibrated their audio incl BM from the XA2 using one of the DVD discs like Avia or DVE?

I'm trying to get an idea of what sounds best. Again, only using HDMI. Some XA2 owners have only calibrated their A/V receiver and not used the XA2's settings for audio. Others have calibrated their receiver and also the XA2.

TIA,

I have the HD-A2. I had to buy a new receiver because my old Sony without DTS could only interpret the audio over SPDIF as Prologic. I got the Sony STR-DG1000 with HDMI audio decoding and the receiver reports Multi-Channel PCM with 5.1 channels working. HDMI=Auto on the A2. I haven't played around with it enough to know if any other HDMI setting works or sounds better. My Receiver can't map an optical input to the HDMI port so I can't report on SPDIF audio.

Thanks DBrown. If your new receiver has a room EQ and speaker calibration incl. BM functions have you done so with the A2 connected? Have you performed calibration within the A2 and receiver, just receiver?
TIA

I have done speaker calibration with the Sony. It does have EQ abilities but I haven't found any reason to mess with them. As for the A2 I do have a Avia disk I can run through it to test the calibration, but as said before have had no real reason to think I need to. Maybe some boring day this summer. The A2 is in my living room which is NOT the best place for a home theater experience, with speaker placement a challenge and the HDTV in a corner of a space that bends 23 degrees in the middle.

I did a "point to point" calibration this weekend and noticed some improvement from just calibrating my A/V receiver using the receiver's test tones.

Yep, it never hurts to calibrate speakers using the receiver. My Sony DG1000 uses a fairly complex audio routine to figure out size, distance, and delay of each speaker to the listening position (where you place the include mic). It also has a test tone you can use to customize the settings. I did both, and found the auto routine was very accurate, with similar Db levels from each speaker.
