robroy3300 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I cannotafford to go out and buy all new equipment,( a new preamp processor with HDMI capability I meen) as do I suspect most cannot! LOL Now I shun away from just buying a cheap replacement receiver with preamp outs so I can still use my sepparates-I fear using THAT as my preamp just to acieve HDMI capability,would be a mistake! I love my Carver reciever, and use it as my preamp (It is pro-logic capable and souds GREAT with my Forte II's as fronts and a Heresey as mu center!) Now I know I can purchase an HDMI splitter and just use the inputs in my big screen-it is HD compatable with an HDMI input-one! My question is will I REALLY loose that much quality in audio not using the HDMI as a sound sorce? (just continue using the Carver for audio and HDMI separatley for video) Hope I made myself clear-any response would be appreciated- P.S. (Klipsch Belle Clones are now in progress!)-if anyone payed attention to my last post! LOL Thanks all,Rob robroy3300@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 you should be fine ..it's just going to add a bunch of cable mess by splitting off to different sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Does your source device provide 5.1 analog outputs? If so, I'd use those to connect to your Carver. I'm planning to buy a new Bluray player with 7.1 analog outs to use in lieu of my Playstation3 just so I can connect them to my 9-year-old Denon receiver's 7.1 analog inputs, and listen to the new HD audio formats that way.

robroy3300 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yes it does-It is a 5.1 dolby pro-logic reciever HR-895 Thanks; Hey ,do you find a real difference between the 5.1 and the 7.1 ? God, if I ever DO go to 7.1,Il'l have to buy two more Hereseys! Darn! LOL My listening room which is 17x 22 will look like a display for vintage Klipsch showrooms! Darn again HMMMMM,mabee that's why I live alone! LOL Thanks for the comments and help! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn again HMMMMM,mabee that's why I live alone! LOL Thanks for the comments and help! Rob I"m actually going from 7.1 back down to 5.1. There's not much difference soundwise beteen the two if you have a good 5.1 setup (yes, my 7.1 was set up in accordance with THX specs). IMHO not worth the extra expense, room space, and speakers. Besides 90% of the Blue Ray releases are still 5.1 masters so almost all DVD, Blue Ray etc. are a receiver or player SYNTHESISED and NOT discrete anyhow. Boo, hiss.
