What does this mean on a HDMI amplifier

[admin_exported]

New boy here! What does this mean?

"HDMI inputs only serve to connect the signal through the HDMI output. A direct reproduction of an HDMI audio signal via the amplifier is not possible."

Someone please help

thanks

It means you have a cheap AV amp that won't take audio from the HDMI input, it'll just pass the video and audio through the output to another device, ie a TV or projector.

Some sort of digital output would be better, you'll at least get digital surround sound that way, the advantage of taking audio from HDMI is that you get full HD audio, which you can't get any other way.

You don't need a converter!!!

PS3 has digital out doesn't it, so all you need is a toslink/digital cable at £5, connect from back of PS3 and to a digital input on back of amp.
