I'm having a problem and i don't know if it's my AV amp or my SkyHD box...
I know that HD boxes don't allow DD sound through HDMI, so to get it, i have run an optical cable to my Pioneer AX4 to run along side the HDMI cable.
The problem i have it that with the HDMI input enabled on my amp i only get standard stereo, if i disable the HDMI input and use component for video, the sound comes through the optical cable and i get DD.
Therefore i am unable to get video through HDMI and sound via Optical simultaneously, so is there a setting either for my amp or SkyHD that will allow this, or is the amp unable to do it?
If the problem is with my amp, which AV amp will allow it?
