Friends,
Through this forum, got very good knowledge to buy my Onkyo receiver, LCD TV, DVDP & Voltage stabilizer. Thanks to all for your valuable suggestions.
Still HDMI cable / Optical cable is pending to complete my HT setup. Please suggest me which combination will give best SQ & PQ.
Option 1
For Audio and Video
Option 2
For video
Myth 1 - Eventhough HDMI cable is meant to carry both audio & video, in reality it will be overloaded and one has to compromise slightly in PQ.
Whereas in Option 2, HDMI cable is responsible only for video and Optical cable is responsible only for audio.
Myth 2 - Here since we have dedicated HDMI & Optical cables for video and audio, PQ & SQ will be far better that option 1.
My question,
thanks,
ranga.

Option 1
For Audio and Video
- HDMI cable from Xtreamer to Onkyo receiver +
HDMI cable from DVDP to Onkyo receiver +
HDMI cable from Onkyo receiver to LCD TV.(3 HDMI cabes required) - Overall cable count
count of HDMI cable -3
count of Optical cable -0
count of Optical cable -0
Option 2
For video
- HDMI cable from Xtreamer to LCD TV +
HDMI cable from DVDP to LCD TV (2 HDMI cables required)
- Optical cable from Xtreamer to Onkyo Receiver +
Optical cable from DVDP to Onkyo Receiver(2 Optical cables required)
- Overall cable count
count of HDMI cable -2
count of Optical cable -2
In Option 1, HDMI cable is responsible for both audio & video. count of Optical cable -2
Myth 1 - Eventhough HDMI cable is meant to carry both audio & video, in reality it will be overloaded and one has to compromise slightly in PQ.
Whereas in Option 2, HDMI cable is responsible only for video and Optical cable is responsible only for audio.
Myth 2 - Here since we have dedicated HDMI & Optical cables for video and audio, PQ & SQ will be far better that option 1.
My question,
- Are there any difference in audio quality between signals carried on HDMI, & optical cable.
- Please suggest me which combination will give best SQ & PQ.
thanks,
