...on sound if I connect a Tosh HD-EP30 to a SONY DG510/DG700 via Optical?
Here's my conundrum...
I have the opportunity to get either a Sony DG510 or DG700 on the cheap (circa £100) however it ONLY has two HDMI inputs. Ideally I am looking for 3inputs (SkyHD, HD DVD player, PS3 (for movies)) but am willing to make a sacrifice and have to unplug one/plug in another when needed. I am looking to pick up a cheap HD player to tied me over until Blue Ray DVD's drop in price...however I also have the chance to get a free PS3 with a phone upgrade.
If I decided to use the HD DVD player connected via Component (I only have a 32D3000 Bravia TV and sit about 8-9ft away) and plug in the Optical Cable to receive the sound...would I experience lag on the sound?
Currently while using this method with the Xbox 360 as my DVD player - after a while you can get a noticeable lag on the sound to picture timing. Would this same thing happen with Tosh HD DVD player?
As an after thought...have you had any experience or suggest any other "budget" receivers with 3 HDMI inputs? I'm not particularly fussed about HD Sound and lots of fancy features at the moment as my room layout won't suit a big expenditure. £250 is really my ceiling (Credit Crunch!!!)
