Anyone know where I can get an audio wiring diagram?
I know the 7 series has a socket in the back for video/audio but that is mono(?) only what I need is stereo.
I presume somewhere along the wire this is connected to both L or R?
Any help would be nice.

First question though - DSP or not? If it is DSP then you are a bit stuffed....

Thanks for the link thumbup I will have a good look about and yes it is DSP. But I presume that it still has a stereo connection.

It just makes upgrading a total nightmare as the head unit, changer and amplifier are connect optically, and the speakers amplifier actively. To be honest, I should like it as it means anyone with DSP needs to spend £££ to get it upgraded but most people begrude forking out twice for audio!
