Hey,
My tv is old (2001) but still works great, so i have no reason to upgrade. It runs 720P great, but i want to buy an HD DVD player. I have a Onkyo 605, so it has HDMI1.3 What I want to do is run the HDMI cable to the receiver from the dvd player (most likely a Toshiba A20) and also run component cables from the DVD player to the TV directly.
What i need to know is a) will the receiver decode the audio even though the video is not getting passed through the HDMI out to the TV since my TV does not have this;
and b) will the component cables still output video even if i have an HDMI cable running out of the DVD player. In other words, does running HDMI 'shut off' all the other outputs?
Thanks,
