I've been out of the loop for a long time on this, so I'm sure this has already been answered in another thread, but I did a bit of searching and didn't find anything exactly like what I'm talking about, so here goes....
I have a Marantz SR7001 receiver. It's a very good receiver (for what I paid for it), but obviously it's not a newer model, and it's not 3D ready. I have two devices that I need to hook up to my 3D plasma. My Playstation 3 (for 3D games), and a Sony 3D Blu Ray player (for 3D BD's). I know that I could use my PS3 for both situations, but my PS3 fan gets really loud, so I don't like watching movies on it.
Ok, so, the only way the 3D will work, is if I run the HDMI directly to the TV, and use optical (PS3) or coaxial (Sony BD player) for the sound. While this works, I can't get the full sound quality unless I'm using HDMI. Back when the whole 3D thing started up, many other people were complaining about this, and wondering if there would be some type of splitter or repeater that they could use to solve this problem.
Back then, I don't think any splitters/repeaters were available that worked, and ones that were being talked about were so expensive that you might as well buy a whole new AVR. That was about a year ago, so I'm wondering if anything has changed on this front?
I'm looking for something affordable that will simply allow me to get the 3D to the TV, but also have the lossless sound. Any suggestions?
