Just purchased HD-DVD drive

Bube · 11-13-2006, 02:15 AM

Speaking of HD, I bought a HD tv recently, and almost bought a standalone HD-DVD - DivX player along with it, but when I asked the guy if I could hook the player to my amp, he said that if I use HDMI to get the image on my tv, I couldn't get another sound or video output. I don't care about a second video output, but what if I wanted to get audio out of the "audio out" on the player? He said it wasn't possible, so I didn't buy it.. But still, I wasn't really convinced it could be that way.. Is it true?

Oh, are HD-DVDs on the market?

yeah, got the xbox 360 one. It was only $159.99 so I couldn't resist. Will be buying Mission Impossible 3 later tonight. King kong looks great, but I need a new tv. Maybe this weekend I'll get one.

Pics later tonight.

Well, you should've resisted. Looks like you just missed out on the DEAL OF THE CENTURY:

They were pretty much forced into it. You can but the HD-A3 for the same price on Amazon. The Xbox player used to be an amazing deal, but now Toshiba had dropped prices and Microsoft hasn't. I'd buy a standalone any day.

But they will definitely continue to drop.

Best bet is to wait for a player to support HDMI 1.3. HD-XA2 will be the first.

Anyway, HDMI carries both a digital video and audio signal on the same cable. That is your audio out. You need a get a receiver that supports HDMI. Get yu Dolby TrueHD as well.
