Seperate video/sound from HDMI input

[ntune]

Is Pioneer VSX-820 capable of seperating the video and sound from HDMI input?

This is my plan:

Hook PS3 to AVR's HDMI-input. (Both video and sound goes with same cable) Hook TV to to AVR's HDMI-output, so that only video singal will pass. Hook Speakers to AVR's audio-outputs, so sound will split from signal that PS3 sends with HDMI.

Unless I'm missing something, that's kinda what all AV receivers do. So yes, it'll work fine.

The point is, that HDMI output is not specified for dedicated video/audio signal like RCA is, but it's for both at the same time. And in my case I want just the video from that output.

So, it's not that simple.

it's not that simple.

Happily, the manufacturers have cracked it, so no need to worry.

I don't see why you can't just set your TV volume to 0

why do that when you can just use the amp to not pass the audio. Like Andrew says.

I'm not sure what you mean by speakers with RCA unless you have active (amplified) speakers, in which case you would be using the multi-channel outputs from the AV Receiver if fitted.

Just to add, all AV Receivers do what the OP wants. I'm therefore not sure I understand the question.....

Not all AV Receivers could process audio over HDMI but most current models do. The VSX-820 certainly does AFAIK.

Well, I am total noob, and thought that speakers are connected with RCA :rockout:

What king of cable I need?

 

[BenLaw]

You need speaker cable. RCAs are an interconnects and will not be necessary with the components in your diagram (except a cd player, depending on how you want to connect it).

and I need also plugs? Banana plug OK for 5-way binding post? And what plug goes into amplifier? Is supra good wire?

 

[nads]

you do not need Banana plugs but you can use them at both ends.

Supra make no nonsense cable but they do have a lot of different cable. there is better out there but it comes down to cost.

I have a mix of Supra cables in my AV set up. no idea what they are though i have forgotten.

I'm gonna buy
Supra Classic 2.5 speaker wire
Does he have 2 wires in one?

Yes, two conductors, as here:
