 are HDMI cables better than HD Component cables when it comes to a PS3 ...

 i have a Sony DVD player with HDMI output, a Sony Receiver with 2 HDMI in and 1 HDMI monitor out, plus several A/V in/out channels, and a Samsung DLP TV with 2 HDMI inputs. I connect the DVD to the receiver's HDMI DVD input and the Receiver to the TV via HDMI. I get a picture on the TV, but no sound. Everything i read says that this is the correct hookup. The internal mute on the TV is off. i spoke to Sony and they said to run an audio cable from the TV to the audio input on the receiver. this works, but i thought that HDMI will carry both sound and video. based on what i think i know, i should get sound and picture going through my A/V receiver and then a picture on the TV and sound from the speakers. it's just one more cable i would have to buy and dont want to. Any help wopuld be appreciated, thanks. ...

 How do I get my HDMI Philips DVD player to play in HD on my 42" Philips Plasma screen?? Yes the tv is HD ready, the dvd player has an HDMI port in the back, and I have an HDMI cable. I have everything done, I just need to get it onto an HDMI channel. I have my PS3 on an HDMI channel, but the process is a bit different for the HDMI dvd player. HELP?? i have 2 HDMI ports I have 2 HDMI ports in my television, I think the trick is to get it onto an HDMI channel. There are two HDMI channels, one is occupied by my PS3.

 Ok I have a HP Pavilion Laptop with HDMI and I-Link ports. And I also have a Sony HC-7 HD camcorder. I just bought a HDMI cable (HDMI to HDMI) today and I plugged it into my camcorder and my laptop but nothing happens. How do I get my recorded videos in high defination mode up onto my laptop using the HDMI cable?? I tried plugging both the I-link cable as well as HDMI cable at same time, but still nothing happens unless the video is converted to DV instead of HDV...Please help! Thanks in advance. ...

 I may seem ignorant on new technology, but here it goes. I have an HDMI output on my HD-DVD, and a HDMI input/output on my receiver. But I have no HDMI input on my TV (it's about 6 years old, so it's ancient in the technology world). I can connect via HDMI cable to the receiver to get "HD" sound (or whatever you want to call the sound output). And I suppose I can use component cables to get a pretty good video. But don't I loose the upconversion benefits with respect to normal DVDs of the HD-DVD player w/o HDMI? Is there anyway to take the video signal from my receiver to the TV beside component input? I don't think my TV even has a DVI input. Am I basically SOL on the upconversion benefits here? Edit to add that I have an HDTV set, not a standard one. It can go up to 540p/1080i. So upconversion would have some benefit. ...

 Newbie here. I'm trying to understand HDMI and Home Thetre systems. I currently have a Panasonic Plasma HD tv with 2 HDMI inputs and a comcast digital cable box with HDTV. I'm looking to get an economical Home theatre system and DVD player. I believe that I want to get a DVD player that does upconvert for my HD tv which requires the HDMI? Most of the lower end receivers I am looking at don't have HDMI inputs or outputs. If I get an upconvert DVD can I/should I use the hDMI port and connect it directly to the TV and then run a seperate audio cable to a receiver. Or should I fork out the money to get a receiver with HDMI ports. What are the disadvantages or advantages? Also I've seen some recievers that do the upconvert...is that a better way to go? Ultimately I'm trying to achieve a decent sounding system that's easy to use without spending big bucks. I want to hook up a DVD player, VCR, and play music through the surround sound. I was looking at the Onkyo HT-S590S Home theatre. thanks! ...

 We are having problems with the connection between our DVD player and TV. We recently bought an upconvert DVD player (a JVC HR-XVC38, to be exact) to go with our HDTV (a CRT Samsung slimfit TX-S3082WH) To connect the two nd get the best picture, we bought a Phillips HDMI cable: It is this cable, but it may be a shorter length. The Problem: tried to watch DVD, but we only got the picture- no sound. we tried muting/unmuting, changing from HDMI input 1 to HDMI input 2; we switched DVDs, turned the power of the TV and DVD player off and on again, and reconnected the HDMI cord at both ends (TV and DVD player)... none of these things worked. does anyone know of any particular problems with these specific products? any general typical problems? We have had problems with the sound being off-sync with DVDs before, so I think it's the DVD player, but idk-all are under warranty, I think ...

 My father-in-law has had his 42" Samsung LCD HDTV for less than a year and his HDMI ports are going out. He has the extended warrenty but according to the warrenty review it is the end user's use and abuse of the HDMI Port so it is not covered. The service techs he called said that it is a re-occuring p[roblem with the HDMI ports and it is a known flaw because the weight if the HDMI cables cause the port to fail. I can fix it easy, but my quiestion is has anyone else had this problem and do you think it is class action time? I mean they know they have the flaw and they don't address anything about securing your HDMI cables for stress relief or anything. ...

 I have an hdtv which has only one hdmi port which is connected to my hd/dvr box. I really want to get an hddvd, but as you can see my hdmi port is taken up. my only resort is to use a the dvi-d to hdmi cable to to connect a hddvd player to my tv. My question is will the picture quality of my hddvd player be significantly less when using a dvi-d to hmdi cord instead of a hdmi to hdmi cable? Also i can i watch my hd hbo shows with surround sound? i have a 42 inch 1080i tv ...

 I bought some HDMI Cables from last year and have noticed that Wikipedia says there is a change in 'HDMI' status to 1.3. Like when USB jumped to USB 2.0. Does anyone have any HDMI 1.3 equipment that can tell me what a large difference there is? Do my original HDMI cables still work with this equipment? ...
