Hello everyone
I am totally ignorant about current technologies, but I do want to upgrade my old equipment. I love front projectors, and I would like to purchase a Mitsubishi HC 5500 projector and a Blu-ray player (I do not have any particlar one, but probably Momitsu BDP 899 Region Free). My question is could I use my old A/V receiver, which does not have any HDMI output. My current components do not have any HDMI. I just connected S-video cable from DVD player to a projector, and Coaxial cable from my receiver to DVD player, and it works quite well. I asked one home theater store and I was told that I have to purchase a upconverting receiver with HDMI output. What does "upcoverting" mean, and do I absolutely need a new receiver?
Thanks for your help!!
