HDMI Question from Newbie

[sparky59]

I have HDMI connections for (1) sat box to plasma media reciever AND (2) DVD/CD to plasma media reciever.

If I go this route, are these the only connections I need for audio/video or is there a need or want to also use component cables too?

Hi, sparky, and welcome to the Guide! :banana: For video, HDMI will be all that you need as long as you have the necessary jacks on the back of your various equipment.

For audio, only some equipment is capable of passing or receiving audio over HDMI. This is rather new. So look in your instruction manuals and see if audio is passed or received via HDMI. If not, then you'll need to add appropriate audio cabling in addition to the HDMI. (optical or coax digital cable or analog RCA cables)
