Looking at the spec sheet on Denon's site, the AVR-790 does not have Dolby Headphone.

I enjoy watching movies with WinDVD using Dolby Headphone. The question I have is how do I get such simulated surround experience using headphones if I move away from my PC (WinDVD) as the source? Can I connect a headamp to the analog outs of a receiver that has Dolby Headphone and get it that way? Excuse the ignorance as I have never dabbled in home theater.

I would seriously doubt that Dolby Headphone would be output to the analog outs.

It would seem more reasonable to get a long cable and connect your WinDVD output to the receivers input.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Yeah, I was guessing that about the analog out.

I currently have my PC connected to an Arcam A65+ integrated receiver (my headamp is attached to the tape out), and using an Oppo HDMI switch box (sources are PC and Xbox 360 Elite). The display is a Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP.

I want to add a universal player eventually, so I can watch DVDs without the PC. Riceboy's Exemplar would have been perfect but no dinero (it's a good thing it sold as I was only a day or two away from doing a fiscally irresponsible thing ). I'm leaning towards an Oppo player for double duty since the analog playout is highly touted.

The Oppo BDP-83 analog output sounds amazing indeed!

I've yet to purchase an SACD, but I do have plans to try it soon.

So the Denon AVR-1910 arrived today. I have a lot of reading and setup to do, but right out of the box (well after using the mic to automatically set all the speaker parameters) it sounds pretty damn good! And the HDMI cable is carrying audio and video.

This seems like a really nice receiver. Things have gotten very complex since I last had a surround system (1987-89), so it may be a while before I'm getting everything out of this system. But just having Blu-ray play in 5.1 is a big step forward.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Fitz, wanna fly out and tune my system for me?
