Hello,

I recently bought a LN46A650 Samsung LCD TV. I am thinking of getting the HT-AS720 5.1 HTIB to go with it. I would like to connect a Comcast HD cable box, and a PS3.

I was reading my owner's manual for my TV, and it stated that I could connect my PS3 and cable box to the HT-AS720 Receiver (both via HDMI), then connect the receiver to the TV via HDMI and optical.

Would this work? I am of course aiming for my Blu-Ray's on my PS3 to be playing through the surround sound, as well as the HD cable from Comcast.

I also heard that for the HD cable, only the HD channels will play through the surround sound. Is this true?

Thanks,

HK

You only need to connect hdmi to the tv.

Both stereo & 5.1 will come out of the htib. You can use pro logic iix to turn stereo into 5.1.

Some complain about hdmi flakiness with the as720 though.
