I'm using the C1 Controller with the Zhd HDMI switcher, and I'm looking for some clarity on how these work together. I've browsed through various threads, but I'm still confused.
Am I correct in saying that there is no way to get HDMI audio through the C1 via the Zhd, and that the only use for the Zhd is to do the video switching? My video sources (DirecTV and PS3) are routed through the Zhd, which is connected by HDMI to my TV. Which works fine, but I don't see how (or if) this would address audio through the surround system via HDMI?
Secondly, if the above assessment is accurate, I'm perfectly fine sourcing audio through optical or coaxial connections, but when I use either of these, the audio and video are out of sync, but the signal is 5.1. Otherwise, to get a sync'd up audio/video signal, I use an optical connection from the TV to the C1, but that only sends a 2-channel signal, so I'm unable to get DD or DTS, which is naturally undesirable. Is there a way to solve the out of sync issue?
If this is addressed elsewhere in a thread or FAQ please post a link. Otherwise, I'd be grateful to anyone who can help me sort through this.
Thanks!
