Question about HDMI and recievers...

jason sala New member Username: Spyyked Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-08	Posted on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 20:38 GMT well why is it that so many audio recievers have component audio in and thats it, then turn around and have HDMI output? shouldnt it be HDMI in and thats it? maybe component output or svideo or dvi or something? i want to set up ps3 to HDtv and audio receiver. ps3 has HDMI connection, but that can only go to one, so i assume plug that into tv and optical to receiver. is there a better way to do it? i gotta admit, im kinda new to newer highdef things like this

This is what a real audio/video receiver (AVR) looks like: http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t171/JohnS45/onk605.jpg Notice the two in/one out HDMI connections.

(Is there a Plan: B? Adaptor?) (Note): I currently have the HDMi CABLE plugged in to my SAMSUNG & I DO NOT SEE A JACK ON THE COMPONENT PANELS ON MY YAMAHA HTR-5850 Thank You. Mel Melvin. }}}

You can use HDMI for any video source you may have that does support HDMI directly into the TV.
