i have a Sony DVD player with HDMI output, a Sony Receiver with 2 HDMI in and 1 HDMI monitor out, plus several A/V in/out channels, and a Samsung DLP TV with 2 HDMI inputs. I connect the DVD to the receiver's HDMI DVD input and the Receiver to the TV via HDMI. I get a picture on the TV, but no sound. Everything i read says that this is the correct hookup. The internal mute on the TV is off. i spoke to Sony and they said to run an audio cable from the TV to the audio input on the receiver. this works, but i thought that HDMI will carry both sound and video. based on what i think i know, i should get sound and picture going through my A/V receiver and then a picture on the TV and sound from the speakers. it's just one more cable i would have to buy and dont want to. Any help wopuld be appreciated, thanks.

current HDMI ver 1.1 only carries video and 2 channel (PCM) audio, if you play the DVD using multi channel (e.g. dts, THX or 5.1 etc) digital sound, the HDMI1.1 does not have the correct codec for it. So, you still need the digital connection (optcal or coxial) connection to the receiver or TV.
Try setting your DVD player's audio output to PCM and u should be able to get the sound from HDMI connection.
The upcoming HDMI ver 1.3 does carry multi channel sound.

You are correct, HDMi should carry both video and audio and HDMI 1.2 does support Dolby Digital audio over HDMI.
It is quite possible that your receiver does not support DD over HDMI input. In that case, change the DVD player to PCM audio out, but that will give you only two channels.
However, a s/pdif cable from the DVD player to the AVR will allow you to listen to 5.1 audio and the cable is quite cheap.
You also need a s/pdif from your TV (or set-top box) to the AVR so that you can enjoy HD channels in multi-channel audio 9whenever available)

On mine, I hooked the HDMI cable from the back of the TV to the back of the Rogers HD cable box. My TV has a DVI port, and the Cable box has an HDMI connection, so my cable had to be HDMI to DVI. The two ends of the cable look different, but it works. Then I hooked an audio right/left cable from the audio out on the cable box to the appropriate audio in on your receiver. That was the only way I could get sound as well as video.
