Have a new blue ray player with hdmi and digital audio output

[Gary Hollandbeck]

I can hook my blue ray player to tv with hdmi. How do I hook the digital audio to my receiver when it only has red and white input?

something like this http/www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011412&p_id=10251&seq=1&format=2 can decode and pass the hdmi video signal along to your tv while decoding and sending out two rca analog signals to older receivers.

however do realize this would only get you stereo sound (rca red and white can ONLY transmit stereo sound).

if you want full surround sound from sources i would suggest a newer receiver which can accept hdmi or optical.

Earlier I bought a new receiver and could not connect the sound from the player to the receiver. The receiver did not have a digital sound input, only an hdmi input. That discouraged me. I took it back. The receiver did not have an hdmi output, so I still could not connect it to the TV hdmi input. So the new receiver would not help.

What receiver was it you tried? Any receiver with HDMI inputs would have to have an HDMI output so you can connect to the TV. Any almost any would have digital inputs as well.

I don't remember but in thinking again, I connected from hdmi out on the player to the hdmi in on the receiver and then connected from the hdmi out on the receiver to the hdmi in on the TV but I still couldn't get any sound from my receiver to the speakers.
