Digital or HDMI For Sound
Thu, Jan 5 2012, 5:08PM
Hi
Sorry if this ia dumb question or has been covered before but can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Have a Yamaha RXV771 receiver, blu ray etc. Should I choose to channel the sound through HDMI or my co-axial cable? Have:
HDMI - Audioquest Pearl
Co-Axial - QED Performance
Many thanks
Jonathan.
From Blu-ray player, HDMI.
If you happen to have Sky+HD, then you'll need to use a separate digital connection for sound if you want surround, as the Sky box only sends stereo over HDMI.
