ok i unhooked the coax just hdmi from blu to receiver, hdmi from receiver to tv......now i get no sound

does it matter that this is an upconvert dvd, sound and video can still pass through the hdmi?

edit : the display on the reciever reads ...... pcm ..... hdmi dsp ...... then under those says dvd
so somethings getting through just not to the speakers and tv now

you will have to go into the bluray player settings and output audio over HDMI.

everything else just has the three white dashes. im gonna hookup my blu direct to tv to get that menu up.

just the dvd is all i have tried so far.

welcome to horn heaven! im glad you went with the RC-62's there definitely a nice force to reckon with.

dont forget to 'toe in' your fronts, and as much as possible align the center to the fronts (which may deem a bit impossible here), but try to point it towards the sweetspot.

i suggest also getting some mopads to further improve your centers performance. i noticed a very good amount of difference when i decoupled mine using em.

heres the website...

you can also purchase them at your locale guitar center

ok so i am in my bdp-s300 setup menu. audio setup: i got settings for:

dolby digital: downmix pcm
dts: downmix pcm
dts downmix: lt/rt
audio(hdmi): auto (only other choice is pcm)


under speakers tab: i got a choice of 2 channel or 5.1 on the bdp-s300
so how do i set it to output through hdmi.

i get sound and video hooked directly to the tv but once i hookup the receiver i get nothing through hdmi, or i can get sound with the coax (i disconnected that) but either way its not letting the image pass to my tv.

strange man.

(I gotta run out to the stores now, so maybe you'll get it solved by the time I get back? will check in later good luck)

Thanks to JasonR I believe Dolby TrueHD is possible with the S300 so if thats a selectable option then:

Dolby TrueHD: Linear PCM
