HDMI and two-channel and other questions

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I just bought a new Pioneer Elite 530HDI RPTV with HDMI inputs (2). For movies, I run the DVD audio via coax to my audio system DAC (two channel). If I upgrade to a DVD player with HDMI, will I loose the ability to use the DAC or can I use both HDMI and the coax and just shut off the TV speakers? Is HDMI better than component video? The new TV also has a RGB-HV video jack...do any DVD players use that format? Is it inherently a better image?

Just make sure your new DVD player has digital audio outputs to go with HDMI/DVI... - oscar 17:09:31 12/30/04 (0)
