This is a newbie home theater config question.
This is what I have:
1. HDTV (1080p) - 2 HDMI (in), 1 HDMI (out)
2. Upconverting DVD player (1080i) - HDMI
3. Comcast HDTV digital DVR cable box .
4. PC with VGA graphic connector.
5. 6 speakers (front, rear, center + subwoofer)
6. Looking to buy a AV receiver (mine just cooked)
I am thinking of connecting DVR, DVD to TV with HDMI, PC to TV with VGA, sound from PC to TV via analog cables, then export the sound to receiver with an optical wire.
Question:
All the new AV receivers has upconverting capabilities, and multiple HDMIs. It seens that it is more 'fashionable' to connect everything to the AV receiver then just single HDMI to your HDTV.
What is the difference between my scenario and the everything to AV receiver then single HDMI to TV?
What are the pros and cons?
Thanks for helping
