I have a new Panasonic 42" 1080p TV with HDMI outputs.
I also have a Samsung Blu-ray player BD-P1400.
I'll be connecting these to an HD Cable box and an older Onkyo Receiver with two digital coax inputs and an optical input.
I was going to connect the TV and Blu-ray player to the cable box via HDMI and then connect the receiver to the cable box via optical and connect the receiver to the samsung via digital coax.
I've just heard of lossless audio so is there a better way to connect these components for better audio? Should I connect the Samsung to the cable box for the audio and then the Samsung to my receiver? Is the Samsung able to decode this audio or something when it's sent to my receiver?
Sorry for being such a noob but it's been a long time since I've researched this stuff. If anyone could explain this to me in plain english that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Couch
