At long last I have found a Avant 32 (US spec). After quite a shipping ordeal its here and wonderful and even has a B&O dust cover. I wish they still offered those for their LCD TVs.

Here are my questions:

The Avant and DVD player (Sony DVP NS999ES) are not hooked up. I am away from both at the moment and do not recall what inputs the Avant offers.

The TV did not come with a manual and the only one I could find from B&O is rather light and isn't specific to the US model. Does anyone know of a link for a model-specific PDF?

Does the Avant has component video input? or just composite?

The DVD player outputs are S-Video, component, and composite video and 5.1 channel, TOSLINK, and left/right audio.

Assuming no component input, to achieve the best quality audio/video I would buy cables for 5.1 Front/Rear/Center audio and a composite video cable?

Thank you for your help. I've grown so accustomed to HDMI and DVI that I'm forgetting my audio/videophile roots!
