Please Help: Best way to hook up Bluray and Receiver
| Getting Started with High Definition Discuss, Best way to hook up Bluray and Receiver at High Definition forum; I have the Yamaha HTR-5860 receiver (which does not have HDMI capabilities) and the Samsung BD-P1200. I thought that the best way to connect the two together would be via the Digital Optical Cable, but is that correct? I recently learned of the 5.1 analog audio output on the back |

I recently learned of the 5.1 analog audio output on the back of my bluray player, but I don't know if that is better or not...any suggestions??? |

| Also...my receiver is 7.1 capable, but I don't know if my blu-ray player will support the 7.1 or even provides a 7.1 signal. Please help! |
| Optical does not have the necessary bandwidth to transmit HD/lossless audio - only ac3 & dts for 6 (5.1) channels. If you want to experience HD/lossless audio (5.1), you will need to use the analogue outputs & hope that your receiver can take the higher frequency, and that the BD-P1200 has decoding of the HD audio streams, rather than bitstreaming. 7.1 Channel lossless audio requires HDMI. A quick look at the specs shows that the Samsung has 6.1 output as RCA/analogue and your Receiver has 7.1 input using RCA/Analogue You can get 6.1 Sound. Keep the cables as short as possible, and you'll be fine

Many newer players no longer have multichannel analogue outputs - only stereo. In such cases, then, outputting even lossy AC3/DTS multichannel audio requires a digital audio connection since multichannel audio will get downmixed to stereo 2.0 before the audio signal even gets sent to the player's DAC.
