What is the best way to hook this up for optimum performance? I do not have any HDMI ports. I do have Optical and DVI ports on my existing Motorola Moxie box DVR. I am thinking about purchasing this item. I believe the item comes with an optical cable but that's it.

Thanks AA.......so from what I see the HT-CT100 does NOT come with a DVI cable? only the optical cable? Where then would this DVI cable connect to my tv..it does not have any DVI ports. Also I do not have a DVD player just the DVR which is not a player.
Since I do not have the HDMI ports anywhere will I suffer in audio quality as compared to the other hook up situation using the optical and DVI cables? Also, I currently control all TV viewing and volume functions with the DVR remote. Will I still be able to use the same remote for both the Sony Sound Bar & TV or will I know be stuck with the cumbersome usage of 2 remotes? Darn, where is Larry the Cable Guy when I need him.... Git-R-Done. Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Hey again katanaguy,
Sorry, I had assumed that your TV had a DVI connection based on what you mentioned about your DVR. I probably should have started by asking these questions:
As far as the HT-CT100 is concerned though, it only appears to come with a digital audio cable. That's somewhat surprising, especially considering that most home theater systems (and other electronics, for that matter) do not normally include the cables necessary to connect them to TV's.
