RSP-1098 with HDMI

[rockbobmel]

Hi guys. I just had this upgrade done. I want to use it but don't understand exactly what I can or can't do. I have a Panny BD with analog outs for truHD into the Rotel. I am sending the picture straight to the TV via HDMI. I have a set top with component outs to the Rotel, then components out to the TV from the Rotel. My DVD player is component out/ toslink out/ to the Rotel and passes through to the TV. Do I even need the HDMI? will there be any benefit to using it?

Thanks Much, Bob

In your case no. The HDMI upgrade is just an HDMI switch. You can't pull audio from HDMI or convert anything video to HDMI.

So until you have multiple HDMI sources and only want to send one HDMI to the tv, there's no need.

Thanks Kev. So the vid signal will pass with 1080i no prob?

It's a switch, so technically it will pass everything untouched.
