digital sound from blu-ray player? - Blu-ray Forum

tubesearch · 11-06-2008, 10:11 PM

I recently bought a Samsung 46 inch LCD (LN46A650). It comes with the blu-ray plater (BD-P1500). I have an old amp which has an optical input for 5.1, but it doesn't have an HDMI input.

When I link the blu-ray player and LCD with the HDMI cable, can I run an optical cable from the player to the amp? Or does the player detect an HDMI cable and disable the optical output?

Thanks very much!

yes, you tell the player to output as Optical.
