First of all sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question.
I'm going to buy a Yamaha A/V Receiver (
RX-V485 - 5.1 channel). I thought of hooking My Laptop (
Asus X455L) to it and my Monitor (
Dell P2417H - 1080p Resolution) to A/V receiver through an HDMI cable. But when I go through the RX-V485 user manual I found out that it does not support HDCP incompatible devices. Also found out my monitor is also not compatible with HDCP.
Then I thought of hooking the Monitor to VGA port and HDMI to Receiver and both running on the same resolution (1080p). And I'm not going to use the HDMI output from the receiver. Both VGA and HDMI outputs from the Laptop is duplicated from the Windows 10 Display Properties.
I attached a diagram which I explained above along with a screenshot of HDMI compatibility from the A/V receiver user manual.
So my questions are,
- If I hook the system like in the diagram, will it work?
- Will it pass sound through the HDMI to the A/V receiver when the VGA and HDMI is duplicated?
I'm living outside the US and getting a good 4K TV costs a fortune.Yamaha RX-V485
