Hi all, as the title says, I need some help with my blu-ray player. My parents "inherited" our home theater setup when they bought their new house so I'm not too familiar with it yet. My basic understanding is this: Our receiver is outputting signal via component cables which run along the wall. The cables are hooked up to what I believe is a component to VGA converter. Long story short, the receiver outputs through component, the projector gets input via VGA.
Enter the new Blu-Ray player. It only outputs through composite or HDMI (which I find bizarre). I want to run an HDMI cable from the Blu-Ray player to the receivers HDMI input, run a second HDMI from the receiver's HDMI output to some sort of HDMI-to-VGA-converter, which would then connect to the VGA input on the projector.
I have two main questions:
1. Is HDCP going to an issue with this setup? Will I need a converter that explicitly states its HDCP compliant?
2. Since the Blu-Ray player will be directly plugged into our receiver (which is obviously hooked up to the surround sound), I'm hoping I wont need to bother with the ridiculous 3.5mm audio jack on the converter box. Is this a safe assumption?
Thanks!
