    XBOX with HDMI?

    I'm thinking about buying another XBOX(the one with HDMI output). My receiver doesn't have any HDMI inputs? How do I get DD sound with it(without modding the wire or anything)? Can I just run it through my Sony(I think it has a optical output on it) and then run that to my receiver?

    You have to get a cable like this: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x...ponenthdcable/

    And use the optical output it provides.

      If you get the pro version it comes with the HD component cables which has an optical output on it.

        The Xbox 360 Elite (HDMI one) comes with both the HDMI & Component cables so you can hook it up with an optical cable.

        Digital Audio makes me Happy.

          All 360 models now are HDMI but only the elite comes with the HDMI cable and HDMI audio adapter which has the optical output and what not. The pro comes with the component video cable which has a little optical jack on the back of the connector. The arcade just comes with a composite video cable.

            I was actually only to get the box itself(it's going to be an arcade model...I have a broken pro lying around that I will just use the cables and HD from). I didn't want to have to go out and buy anything else for it(I have an extra HDMI cable I'm not using).
