AV/ Pin jacks

[diggytooth8]

I am getting a blu ray player. My AV controller has no HDMI Jacks. I guess I can run the audio out on the Blu Ray to the audio inputs on the back of the AV. I then can run the HDMI cable from the Bluy Ray to the back of the TV. Does that sound like it would work? I guess I would need to turn the TV volume down in this case. Any input would be helpful.
Thanks all.

Yes, that will work fine.

What type of audio connection will you be using instead between the Blu-ray player and amplifier?

Optical or digital coaxial will give you access to standard 5.1 audio formats (Dolby Digital & DTS). If you're receiver has multi-channel analogue inputs though, and you buy a Blu-ray player with multi-channel outputs you will also be able to play back HD audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio).

Thanks for your reply. My A/V has no hdmi inputs but it currently will receive and process DTS signals. I have digital and optical inputs available on the back of the A/V.Once I get the blu ray player I will figure out the best way to hookup the audio to the back of the A/V. Then I have to tell it to recognize that input. Much harder.
Any advice would be apprecieated.

Thanks again.

Here is my A/V:

I guess I can buy a Blu Ray without discreet analog outputs and just use didtal coaxial or optical connections to my A/V, but I don't where to hook them up on the back? Can anyone help? Here is my A/V.

According to that link, your amplifier has analogue inputs for 5.1 audio. If you're happy enough without HD audio though, then yes, just use digital coaxial or optical.

Page 14 of that manual shows that you have one digital coaxial input, and 3 optical. It shouldn't matter which one of these you use. Just remember which one you've used so you can select the correct input with your remote.

Hey thanks a lot man.
I guess just one digital/optical input will carry both an audio and visual signal from the blu ray. I thought those digital/optical inputs were just for the video signal, not audio as well.

Thanks for your help.

You've got it the wrong way around - optical and digital coaxial are purely audio connections. They do not transfer video signals of any kind.

You will use either optical or coaxial to send audio from your Blu-ray player to the receiver, and HDMI to transfer video from your Blu-ray player to the TV.

Got it.
Thanks again for helping me out. I appreciate it.
