have a samsung bluray player (1.3HDMI) going through a marantz 5002 reciever and I am not getting audio but its passing through the image. I do get sound when I hook up the optical cable but I won't be getting the new audio formats. I think I know what the problem is but I need confirmation. My marantz is HDMI 1.1. so is it not getting the audio because it can't decode it. I thought it would send the older digital formats too. Any help would be great.

My understanding is that 1.1HDMI will support DVD audio. You might see if the type of type of digital audio can be selected on the samsung. Also is the marantz set to use the HDMI audio?


Otherwise you may have to stay with the optical, or use the surround analog outputs from the bluray, if it has them.

friom what I read, that receiver is a switcher for HDMI video only. It does not receive any audio from HDMI inputs.
