Re: HDMI/ SA 8300 HDDVR
thank you. TW told me I need HDMI with a DVR...maybe for another reason.
anyway...
The HDMI is going from the cable box into the TV, HDMI input one. I have no cable co-ax going to the TV at all. I have an optical audtio cable going to the cable box into my receiver. When I switch to component cables, I have the same exact optical cable going from the cable box into my receiver. sound works fine.
also, something weird. I had my DVD playinig a disc and tried to change around the receivers digital input settings to see if that was the problem. So, I had to switch to Video 3 on my TV, which is nothing more than a composite cable, so I could view my receivers setup menu on the TV. When I did this, the aduio coming from the DVD player worked perfect. So, I toggled through all the digital inputs, everything worked fine while the TVs video was on Video 3, which was just for my receivers setup menu. As soon as I switched the Video to HDMI 1 (TV) or HDMI (2), the audio stoped coming through as dolby digital. Thought is was coincidence, so I switched back to Video 3, and both the digital audio inputs worked perfect (TV and DVD). Switched back to the HDMI 1 and/or 2, stopped working. did this 3-4 times, same result.
The next logical step was to use the optical audio out on my TV, and try to send the signal to the receiver that way. Same exact result. Worked fine, until I send a video signal via HDMI.
