They probably figure you will want the better sound from the DVD drive.
Depending on on what kind of CDs you play in which drive, I would put the
S/PDIF connection to the DVD and analog to the CDRW, and play any music CDs
on the DVD and games on the CDRW, since with the games I play (First Person
Shooters) I am too busy dodging to care if the sound is digitally perfect.
But, if I'm watching a DVD, I want the best I can.
