blue ray with no 5.1 audio out jacks

[herrpan]

Hi,
anyone help me, please.
I bought a LG Blu-ray DVD player BD 370, but on the back side it has only hdmi connector and two connectors for audio (stereo).
Please advice is there any adapter converter HDMI-audio jack 5.1 in order to connect home 5.1 speakers. (to separate video and audio signal from hdmi)

Best regards,

HERRPAN

You mean 5.1 analog out? Not all blu-ray players have 5/7.1 analog out. There is no adapter that I know of that does HDMI to 5.1, because it would need to decode all of the codecs and wouldn't just be a simple audio splitter. What you would need is a receiver capable of DTS Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. That would be your "adapter".

If you just want to separate audio and video signals, you should be able to go into the player settings and have it output video over hdmi, and audio over optical out or the left and right audio out.

And this is in the wrong sub-forum. Hopefully a mod can move this to the right place.

A conversion like that is illegal. You need an HDMI compatible device.

The LG BD 370 is the wrong player for you because with your gear you need a blu-ray player with 5.1 or 7.1 analog outputs, such as the LG BD 390 or Samsung BDP 3600, or one of the Oppos. Then run six audio cables from your new player to your receiver.

I would make sure that the loss less formats are decoded. As I understand the rules, a device can not output analog audio and video form high def sources. It is my understanding, that is against the rules. If there is an analog video output it has to be down converted to 480i if loss less codecs are converted to analog. If this were not so, it would be an open invitation to piracy.

If you're going to spend $600, why not just get a new receiver capable of decoding the lossless codecs or a br player with analog outs?

I concur. The DSP-1 is pretty much obsolete, but to each his own.

Heck, you could get a receiver cheaper than that!
