I also feared what the TV output would look like after previous experience with the poor quality from my 760ED. When I hooked the 770 up for the first time and started a DVD movie, I couldn't believe how great the picture quality was. I am not sure how it stands up to a standalone DVD player (since I have never seen one), but I can bet there is probably no difference at all, or at least negligible to most eyes. This was using the composite output with a cheap RCA cable, so I can imagine that the S-video would be even better. You won't be disappointed in the picture quality at all. >Is there a connection for AC-3 output? i.e. pre-decoded Dolby Digital >stream. Otherwise I presume you would be stuck with normal (2 chan, maybe >surround) stereo sound. On a consumer DVD player the AC-3 connection is >typically RF or fiber. There is an output on the enhanced video adapter for AC-3, but it requires an optional connector cable to access it. I believe that it uses the same connector that is supplied with the unit for video output and input, and you use the RCA audio out to feed your sound system. Eric Giles
