Oh, o.k., thanks...  My TV only has a digital coax out (I think), no
optical..  Sorry for the noob question, but is the Coax S/PDIF input of
the TP the same as  digital coax?  It'll accept a digital coax cable so
I could hook my TV to the TP for audio?  The rest would work as my
settop box & current DVD player have optical outs...

I'm thinking of buying a Cambridge 840A integrated amp.  Looking at a
pic of the TP bck panel right now, I'm assuming I'd connect the amp to
the TP using standard RCA cables from the amp's pre-out into the analog
outputs of the TP, right?
