how do you get sound out your amp via HDMI with the NR5000e OKNYO\integra amp

Hi guys I have the NR5000E amp and I am unable to produce sound via HDMI from my DV-SP1000E DVD-SACD player.Can you help or give any advise perhaps. :T

The DV-SP1000E DVD-SACD has its HDMI connector clustered on the back panel under "Video" connections. Since the DV-SP1000E DVD-SACD was introduced about a year before the NR5000E receiver, its HDMI implementation may not include sound. In fact, HDMI was advertised as a high performance "video" feature for this unit.

The IEEE 1394 (iLink, aka "firewire") connection may be your best bet for digital sound. Of course, an optical, or digital coax, connection would get you there, too.

You might find more specific guidance in the owner's manual, and given their intermittent track record with upgrades, if the more up-to-date audio-via-HDMI feature is not in the specs now, but the supporting software or hardware could be modified by them to allow it, Onkyo/Integra may offer an upgrade at some point. (But don't hold your breath waiting for them to notify you of it, even if you ask them about it directly.)

Good luck,

Burke
