Newb Question: Onkyo 606/HDMI

[rev.and.ride]

I just got the TX-SR606 and I have three inputs for it - TV, Satellite dish and PS3. I noticed the HDMI Out jack, and I'm wondering what kind of cool uses there are for that?

Can anyone advise? DVD recording? CD burning? I've been looking online to find a DVD recorder that has an HDMI input jack, but haven't found any yet.

Normally the output is for the HDMI cable that goes to the TV.

that would be for connecting to your TV, so you can see the blu-ray

[pacificvibes]

Inputs are for the PS3, blu-ray player, ETC, input is for the TV

Also, I don't know this for sure, but I don't think the MPAA would be too happy if you were allowed to record stuff off HDMI so I don't think you will be able to hook a dvd burner up to an HDMI out for a very long while, if ever

Yeah...prob not. I keep meaning to clear off my DVR, but I was hoping to find an HDMI input on a DVD burner. I guess it wouldn't matter unless I'm burning in HD.

What do other folks do to burn high-def content from their DVR?

I dont think you can do this, those companies would lose lots of money if we could do that.

LOL!

Friday night brain meltdown! That would make more sense!

I think I was confused because I have been running a pre-HDMI receiver and using optical cables for sound.

This will be so much nicer than my current setup. I've been using optical cables and a Monoprice switch for the opticals and running HDMI straight from PS3/DVR to TV.

Now I'll be able to ditch the optical, decode the TrueHD and I probably won't need to buy any more HDMI cables.

If my HDMI cables are not 1.3, will they still decode TrueHD?

I am not to knowledgeable, about that I have 1.3 so I dont have to worry but ask CrackinHedz.
