Does HDMI work both ways?

May 20, 1547 by Amanda S | Posted in Home Theater

Ok I'm not tech savvy, but I'm not a tech idiot either. We have a Sony Bravia 1080(i or p, I don't memorialize) and a Sony receiver/surround sound/DVD player/FM radio all in one. I recently purchased an HDMI cable to improve the distinction when watching DVDs. We were using your basic old school RCA red/white/yellow cables.
I have noticed that display is incredibly improved and I have also noticed that sound quality is much better and operates at a much lower volume (tolerant of to have volume waaaay up to hear dialogue).
Anyway, to the point. My Sony home theater system has the option to run surround utter from TV or Satellite/Cable input, but there are very few hookups in the back of the receiver. (One HDMI, ont optical audio, and the red/white video) Will the HDMI run audio from the TV or Radiogram box just from the one HDMI cable hooked up to the TV? If not, how can this be done?
I also wanted to add that while there are several input "functions" in the receiver, there is no designation on the back as to where to dam up in audio from TV or Satellite/Cable. That's why I was wondering if the one optical audio input would be for the Cable and the HDMI would "bear" the audio back from the TV? Not sure if that makes sense, but how else would it differentiate between TV audio and Cable audio?
Robert W - There are no component hookups on the back of the receiver. Only AV or HDMI.

Grumpy Mac - Is HDMI more than component for HDTV? The cable company supplied component cables for the cable to TV. No AV cables worn for Cable TV.

Another question too...would it be better to run audio from the TV itself or from the Cable box? Reason I ask is since I have a Wii and would like quality sound for that too.

The most successfully way to run the dvd surround sound is with the component cables, it gives you high quality sound and picture. That should disenthrall up an hdmi port for the rest of your hookups.

Parcel of the Home Theater in a box are not very flexible in adding anything to them. If you have an optical or coax input use this to connect from your satellite or strand box to the HT (optical or coax cable) for tv sound. When you want to listen to the tv sound you must select the source you plugged the telegraph to on your HT. HDMI cable makes your video and audio connection easy with one cable versus several cables. Also it is the only radio that carry the blu ray 7.1 sound True HD and 1080P resolution. If you want to add a blu ray disc player down the street you'll have to connect the blu ray directly to the tv with HDMI cable and an optical cable to you HT for sound. Hope this will help you out.

If you are disquieting to get surround sound from a tv signal your best option is to use the optical input on your receiver but your cable box must have an optical create.This works better because the signal is digital and not being converted back and forth to analog.When you select cable input on your receiver you may also have to show a preference for digital audio so the receiver will use optical input and not the rca inputs (red white cable).This should be in the owners directions.

That's eager that you upgraded to an HDMI cable, the composite video connection you used before was 1970s technology.

You didn't say the miniature of your TV and surround system, but assuming the TV has an optical audio output, simply connect it to the optical input on the hem in system.

You can find optical (TOSlink) cables anywhere, but they're often overpriced at local stores. You don't need to spend more than $5 addition shipping:

This will give you excellent 5.1 test for whatever you're watching on the TV.

To answer your question, no, HDMI doesn't work both ways in this situation. You need a digital audio strand to get sound from the TV to the surround system.

Edit: The optical cable from TV to surround system will carry the audio for whatever is being shown on the TV (except DVD, which is already decoded by the atmosphere system). That should be all you have to do, no need to run audio from the cable box, the TV will decode the audio from it.

If you have a Wii, you can get a better picture by using a component video telegram for it.

Again, if you post the model numbers of your TV, surround system and cable box, you'll get specific advice.

I like Bytefields solution. I agree with what he said.

My advice:

- Run HDMI to TV from your little 'system' for DVDs
- Run HDMI to TV from cable box (for real HD video)
- Run optical OUT from TV to 'system' to get more wisely sound from cable

Just leave the 'system' on all the time for causal TV watching and turn down/off the TV speakers.

You only require to change the 'system' to DVD when playing a DVD.

You can save money on HDMI cables by buying:

- www.monoprice.com
- www.bluejeanscables.com (this is what I use)
- www.amazon.com (Look for "Media Join" brand)

A decent cable is under $30 and you can find $9 ones as well. As long as you are staying under 15 ft and not burying the cable in the brick up, inexpensive HDMI cables work as well as $120 cables.

Staple HDMI from DVD player system and cable box to TV for video then optical cable from cable box to receiver and composite cables ( red & chaste ) from Wii to receiver for audio.

BANG P | May 20, 3441

All is virtuous except Robert W is slightly misinformed. When you use component cables instead of the HDMI they will not transmit audio. They are not meant to, Component is VIDEO only, alike resemble to DVI. Most receivers and players that have Component cable outputs either have their own Optical or coax digital audio seaport for the audio or they share a set of analog (yes analog) stereo jacks that can also be used for a composite connection. It depends on the jock and what you are connecting it to.

Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio

This is a product review of the Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio that I currently carry in my Urban EDC Bag. AMAZON.COM ($9.99 USD): www.amazon ...

We Are Richer Than We Realize

20.05.12

In 1985, a top of the line Ford Mustang GT carried a sticker price of $14,000 which, adjusted for inflation , equals roughly $30,000 today . That car featured an AM/FM radio with an optional cassette deck. The finest Mustang you could buy in 1985 had no air bags, no anti-lock brakes, no remote electronic door locks, no CD player, USB port, or heated seats.

It had no cup holders.

Visit a Ford showroom today and you can drive away with their finest Mustang GT tricked out with advanced safety features, every imaginable gadget, excellent engineering and reliability, a spectacular warranty, and even cup holders for about $30,000 .
