I couldn't seem to get this answered in another forum, so here goes:
I have read there are some audio/video components which will not successfully pass audio through a HDMI connection. Does anyone know if the 211 is one of those components? In other words, if I connect the 211 via HDMI to a HDMI input of an A/V receiver, will it pass the audio or will I still have to use optical from the 211 to the A/V receiver? I ask because I am considering upgrading my A/V receiver to one which has HDMI inputs & outputs & I'd like to be able to eliminate the optical cable & fully utilize HDMI for what it was meant.
I was talking with a local dealer today & he said there had been issues with MPEG-4 SAT receivers doing this successfully & that I might still need to use an optical cable to get the audio.
