I'm trying to set up a system where I can play movies from my laptop, sending the audio signal to a 5.1 Home Theater, and the video signal to my projector. I'm looking to buy a Home Theater, but almost every set I look at involves going through a DVD player (I have no DVDs) or a TV (I have no TV).
So I'm kind of confused about how inputs/outputs will work.
This is what I have in mind - do you think it'll work? Am I missing anything
- HMDI output from laptop to optical input in Home Theater
- HDMI output from Home Theater to VGA input in projector
I guess I'll need some adapter cables in there too (i.e. hdmi-optical audio, hdmi-vga), and maybe I'm making things more complicated than they need to be...
Really appreciate any help y'all can give me!!
