HDMI cables support both vision and sound signals. Note that a DVI cable carries the same vision data but does not carry sound.

Is it possible to use HDMI cable for video and regular cables for audio at the same time when playing Blu-ray movies?

Yes it is. Just make sure your other inputs are in the same source on your reciever. I do this occassionally with my computer. Run the video through HDMI and audio through RCA's. You get way better sound through HDMI so I would try and just use the one cable so you dont have to get more then one cable. But if your doing something different it should work.

How do you connect surround sound to a TV?

There are essentially two ways to get surround sound out of the Xbox. Via HDMI or via optical (TOSLINK) out. If you have the component video cable, then the end that attaches to the Xbox has an optical out port. Simply attach this to the optical in on your home theatre receiver with an optical cable. If you want to use audio via HDMI, in order to get surround sound you'll have to have an HDMI receiver capable of receiving audio. In this case run the Xbox via HDMI to the receiver and then the receiver via HDMI to the TV. The HDMI will send both audio and video. If you have the official Xbox HDMI cable you can also connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV and use the optical out connector that it comes with instead.


How do you hook up a PS3 to a HD tv?

Two options: For true HD you need an hdmi cable that runs from the ps3 to the television's hdmi input. Alternatively, you can use the video adaptor cable (av or yellow, red, white cable: yellow video, red right sound, white left sound) that came with the ps3. PS2's use the same cable. Plug the yellow, red, white cables into the av inputs of your hdtv. You will only have 480i video however. With an hdmi cable you will usually get 780p for games and 1080 for movies. You can also purchase a PS3 component cable if your HDTV does not have HDMI.

Yes. HDMI carries both digital video and audio. This can cut down on the number of cables alternative connection methods may use.


Do you hook the surround sound to the TV or satellite?

check your surround sound if it has an HDMI or AV input jacks. if it has, then you are good to go. from your satellite receiver, attach the HDMI cable or AV cable. connect it to your surround sound. after connecting the satellite receiver box and surround sound, attach the HDMI or AV cable from the surround sound to your television.


Which type of cable do you use from satellite to receiver for hd directv?

You will either need a composite(not component) cable or a HDMI cable. I think you can use S-Video but S-Video doesn't compare to HDMI or composite.


Is it true that HDMI cables provide the best quality HD picture because the audio and video connections is in the same cable?

There is no truth in the statement. HDMI is an interface that carries digital audio and video signals. The image quality is dependent entirely on the quality and resolution of the signal that is delivered to the HDMI port by the video source. The HDMI connectors and cable carry that signal to the receiver but the cable does not change it in any way at all. DVI is compatible with HDMI other than the fact that there is no audio carried with the video signal. The video signal is identical to that carried by an HDMI cable and so this alone proves that statement to be false.
