HDMI Switching
Hi Guys,
I'm looking to get a new 7.1 receiver. I have a decent JVC 100 watt 5.1, but i don't like the sound that comes out of it. I'm looking at this onkyo: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...X0DER&v=glance But i'm puzzled by what this guys says: Quote:
so that means my hookup would go like this: PS3 -> HDMI -> Onkyo -> HDMI -> TV and then TV -> Digital optical cable -> Receiver seriously? That sounds totally backward. a response to that comment: Quote:
that can't be right! won't there be a delay?

The idea of pass through is so you can switch your video and your audio together without having to change the input on the tv and the reciever seperately. It saves the company a bit money because they don't have to put the high end audio decription chips in the reciever. In my experience, pass through, is not that common.
Oh and it would go PS3 -> HDMI -> Onkyo -> HDMI -> TV PS3 -> Digital optical -> Onkyo

there won't necessarily be a delay. if you think about svid+audio cables, or even any other form of connection besides coax, you had a separate signal for video and audio.
