Home Theater

I want to know if you can take a HDMI cable and "split it" (for lack of a better term) it into a HDMI video lead and component audio (the red and white cables). Is this even possible?

I just got a Sony STR-DG710 AV Receiver. I also have a plasma TV with a DVI input.

---THE CONFIGURATION---

I have a DVD player and a HD Cable Box.

The DVD player is connected to the receiver with COMPONENT cables and an OPTICAL audio cable.

The HD cable box is connected to the receiver with an HDMI cable.

The receiver is connected to the with a HDMI to DVI-D cable. This cable is connected to the HDMI Out connector on the receiver. This is the only connection to the TV.

---HERES THE PROBLEM---

When I set the receiver to the input for the cable box, I get video but there is NO SOUND coming though the speakers.

As an experiment, I tried connecting an optical cable to the HD box, and re-assigning it to the same input. There was still no sound.

HOWEVER, when I changed the optical assignment to a different input, then switched the receiver to that input, the sound worked fine (but obviously there was no video).

ALSO the DVD player input has sound but NO video.

Any ideas?

Another question. Do blue ray players such as the PS3 or the Sony stand alone ones also make high quality CD players? I understand that some of the Blue ray players are compatible with CD-ROM and SACD. But do they cause a degradation in the quality of the audio sound, if I would use them to play CD's and SACD's?

Please note that I'd like to have the option of listening to sound directly from the TV and/or surround sound, so I don't want to limit that.

Also, on a similar front, is an orange digital connection from my DVD player to the same receiver better than RCAs?

I have decided to replace my seperate DVD player, and seperate VCR with a combo unit.

I dont use my VCR much, but it would be nice to be able to copy my tapes over to DVD, even the tapes that are originals, and not just the ones that I recorded off of HBO.
I think I want a DVD recorder that is capable of using + and - RW discs, and if it can use dual layer (DL), that would be a bonus but not neccesary.

I have a tivo DVR built into my satellite receiver and so I would like to dump some of my saved stuff from the tivo unit down to the DVD recoder.

I have done some research on CNET.com and on BestBuy.com. Nothing really jumps out as a clear winner.

I am prepared to spend between 200 and 250.
I have coax audio input available since the CD player I am taking out of service is using that.

Thank you in advance.

I am looking to buy a HSU research subwoofer. I heard they got some good reviews. Can anyone recommed a specific model that would be consistent with the above system. Also what kind of amplifier system would I need? Would I need separate preamps, amps for my surrounds, main speakers and subwoofer? any suggestions?

I have learned a lot about coaxial, composite (RCA), VGA (d-sub 15-pin analog), s-video (analog), DVI (digital, computer), component (RGB analog), and HDMI (digital and sometimes with HDCP encryption), but I'm missing how the big picture relates to my practical considerations of the various equipment choices and interfaces.

But when does each standard become helpful? Display size, resolution, response time? In other words, how do the acronymns: PAL, 720p (progressive), 1080i (interlaced), etc. translate to the video sources, and TVs or monitors that I am considering to purchase?

And how do they support both analog and digital in the same standard, while DVI requires variations (dvi-d, dvi-i, dvi-a)?

Do adapters care whether the signal is digital or analog, and if not, then are any losses with adapters?

And what is this talk about "upconverting" a signal? Is this specific to digital, or can it work for analog?

Lastly, can a capture card receive a digital signal without losses?

I recently sent my 1000w amplifier for servicing and got a t-loaned 400w amplifier with the original 1000w system's speakers to cover my inconvenience. Here my doubt, both sound rather similar in bass and quality, does that means the speakers' power output is the one that manufacturer said is the power output of the system? hmm rather funny..
