Hi
I have a Panasonic TV with integrated freesat and can watch BCC-HD ok (plus ITV HD when they shows them).
I wanted to add a blu-ray player (for DVD also) and also an amp for real (non-virtual) surround sound.
I am happy how it works for the blue-ray (blu-ray-HDMI-out-->amp-->HDMI-in--->TV)
I also have an optical-out and stereo-out on the TV which I can plug into the amp.
However from what I understand (which could be wrong) this means on Hd-TV I can get stereo sound to the AMP and 5-1 Dolby surround sound (via the digital cable) to the amp BUT HD-surround sound needs an HDMI cable ?
So my questions are:
1) - Does the HDMI-in to the TV also act as an HDMI-out to the amp ? (I guess not)
2) If I plug in another HDMI cable between the TV and AMP (to an HDMI in) will the TV use that as a HD-surrond out for BBC-HD ?
If yes is it automatic changed to an "out" on the TV or is it some menu option I cannot see yet ?
Regards-Mike
