I am a bit new to all this so please let me know if you need more information to help answer this question I have regarding my new setup. The HDtv that I am looking to purchase has the following input/output connections:
Inputs
RF (F Connector for internal tuner): 1
HDMI with HDCP: 3
Analog Stereo Audio for HDMI Inputs: 1
Component YPbPr plus Stereo Audio: 2
Composite Video: 2
S-Video plus Stereo Audio: 1
Computer RGB plus Stereo Audio: 1
Service Port: 0
Outputs
Analog Audio out (RCA): 1
5.1 SPDIF Digital Optical Audio: 1
I am wondering would I still be able to get 5.1 sound from the tv/HDcablebox/ps3 and other devices if the receiver I had only had 1 of each analog/optical/coaxial inputs and 1 of each composite/component/HDMI outputs. Will a setup with these output/input combos work? What is the advantage of having HDMI inputs on the reciever? If I need to provide more info please let me know. Thanks for the help.
