Hi Guys,
I need some help from the experts out there to choose a receiver that fits my needs. Here are the details of the components I am trying to hook:
1. Sony Bravia LCD TV KDL-52XBR2
2. Basic Dish Network DVR (non HD)
3. Sony single DISC DVD player (analog)
4. Sanyo VCR player (analog)
5. Sony Speakers (5.1 channel Basic)
To hook all these up first I brought a Yamaha RX-V661 receiver which does the 1080p hdmi passthrough but does not convert the analog signals to HDMI.. so I had to run a component cable from the receiver to TV and it wont work with my HDMI cable.
I replaced my receiver now and changed to Harman Kardon AVR 247 which was the only available in the same price range and at best buy and this one does the Analog to HDMI conversion but the HDMI cable only passes video signal but not any audio meaning if I switch off my speakers I will get only video on my TV but not audio
Now I am planning to change the receiver to Onkyo TX-SR605 which also does the analog to HDMI conversion but now my million dollar question is will it carry the audio signal in the HDMI cable along with the video signal...
Guys really need expert help here.. Please advise...
Thanks,
