A couple of years ago I bought an all-in-one Upscaling DVD player / 5.1
surround sound system. I knew the limitations, but I had a budget and before I spent a lot on an AV receiver + speakers I wanted to make sure it would actually improve my enjoyment of movies, that the speakers would look okay, and that the shape of the room wouldn't be an issue. It proved all those things and now I'm looking around at options for upgrading to an entry level AV Receiver. I just wanted to confirm my understanding of something. Because the current system is an all-in-one, it doesn't have any HDMI inputs. It has a single optical audio input. At the moment, I therefore have the PS3 HDMI going into the TV, and the digital audio out going into the all-in-one system. The receivers I've been looking at have 4 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output. So, am I right in thinking that I would switch the PS3 HDMI into the AV receiver (and say, Sky HD), and plug the AV receiver into the TV's HDMI. From them on, I would switch the picture and sound from the AV receiver and it changes which image signal goes to the TV? Sorry it's such a basic question, but I don't want to make any stupid assumptions and screw up the buying process. -- Tony Evans blog - http://perceptionistruth.com/ books - http://www.bookthing.co.uk/ [ anything below this line wasn't written by me ] |
