Clarification-A. The blu ray is a 3D player.B. Is it better to: (1) Hook the DVD player to the receiver and then the TV to the receiver (i.e., everything running through the receiver), or (2) Hook the DVD player to the TV and then the TV to the receiver, or (3) some other better quality configuration?

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver.there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

Do you loose 3D resolution or audio quality if you hook the blu ray player to the receiver instead of directly to the TV?

What about audio? Specifically, if I have the STR-dg810 as my receiver. I have Blu Ray DVD and HD sat receiver, both of them would use the HDMI connection. However, I also have a Wii I woud like to connect, but Wii only has component video out. So, I should connect the Wii component video out directly to the TV as the receiver won't up convert the signal to use the HDMI out port. Does this also mean the receiver won't pass through the Wii audio to my speaker system? Am I stuck with only having Wii audio via my TV's speakers?

If you are connecting your TV to your blue ray player using HDMI cable, then that is the best way to go. Otherwise you'll have to use the traditional component stereo cables.

Hi! I assume you mean for connection to the tv? As a matter of fact the easiest and best connection is via the digital optical jack. Barring that you'll need to use an analog audio connection. Hope that helps....

James, do you have an HDMI connection on your cable box and or other peripherals (DVD, bluray etc)? Optical is a good solution for component or analog video connections with digital audio (surround sound) decoders. If you have HDMI then your best possible video and audio solution is to go directly from your cable box and DVD/bluray with HDMI cables which would carry 1080p (high definition) video as well as 7.1 surround sound on a single cable. If this option is out of the question then you could go the lesser quality route of using optical connection into 2 inputs on the rear of the v375. This unit would replace your current surround processor. Any further questions feel free to reply!

Then what does it mean when a blu-ray player is input through HDMI and it says 24Hz? Then when I hooked the same BD player through my receiver (new Pioneer Elite) it's back to 60Hz. Never have seen 120 Hz.

Hi,Can somebody tell me if this Mitsubishi adapter works between Sony BDP-S570 3D blu-ray player and Viewsonic PJD-6531D 3D DLP 120Hz projector please...?I am currently having 3D blu-ray disc, but not able to play 3D between these two... and not able to understand where the problem is? with Sony BD player or Viewsonic Projector? Would be great if this adapter can fill the gap between Sony and Viewsonic as above and I can watch 3D movies...Thanks a lot for your time in answering my question...

I have the optical output from the unit connected to the Optical input of the amplifier and use a 7.1 setup--Most Blu Ray is 5.1 but now and then some of them are 7.1--Sounds fine--

It is very simple. You need 3 HDMI cables. One going from your cable box HDMI out (if it is an HD cable box..if not swap it out with your cable co. for an HD box) to HDMI 1 input on the Yamaha, then another HDMI cable out from your blu-ray player to the HDMI 2 input on the Yamaha, then run the 3rd HDMI cable from the HDMI out on the Yamaha to the HDMI in to your Samsung Plasma HDTV. Don't know if your are just using the speakers thru the Samsung TV or if you have a 5.1 speaker setup. If you are just using the Samsung TV speakers after connecting the above cables you are good to go. If you are using other speakers then of course you need to make all the speaker connections to the Yamaha as well. Easy peasy...

The TV needs to have HDMI or Component inputs. The device you want to watch such as a Blu Ray player or satellite receiver output will connect to the Yamaha RX A1020 inputs with a HDMI cable or Component cable. The output from the Yamaha will connect to the TV. The video will play through the TV and the audio will play through the Yamaha amplifier.

Your cable box will only provide up to 5.1 dolby digital output depending on the type of connection (either optical or HDMI), if you are using an analog L-R connection you will only get stereo. Depending on the age of your blu-ray player it may or may not pass DTS-HD Master Audio over HDMI. You will need to read the owners manual of your blu-ray player to see if it will pass DTS HD, if so you will need to set the audio settings in the player to send it to the receiver to decode. If your blu-ray player will not pass DTS-HD over HDMI but will decode DTS-HD Master Audio internally you can set the player to output PCM via HDMI, in that case it will only show up on the display of the receiver as PCM but will in fact be DTS HD.

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

I had the same issue. use an Analog output audio cord or the Co-axial audio output cord to connect the Soundbar directly to your tv. I ended up just plugging the Optical connection from the Soundbar into my Blu Ray player. I used an Analog output audio cord that I had laying around in my house to connect the soundbar to my TV. If you don't have an analog or co-axial cord, be sure to buy one because this soundbar doesn't provide either for you.

Your BD30 should upgrade video signal through component connections to 1080i, if HDMI it would upscale to 1080p. Others Blu-ray players would have same problems as BD30. The one you have is the best in Blu-ray right now.

"Why not run component from your bluray to your receiver that way you will get excellent video and good sound. Using coaxial for sound is the worst choice. If you want to use HDMI to the TV then use optical for your sound."Digital coax is equal to optical for digital audio signal transfer. I think you are confusing with coax vs. component for video transmission. As far Plissken's question goes, The Oppo's 7.1 outputs connected to your receivers 5.1 inputs (assuming you have them which you should) and your receiver being set to "direct analog" mode will give superior sound to your current setup as the Oppo's superior DACs will be doing all of the processing.

A blu ray 3D player hooks up the same way you would hook up a regular dvd player. There are places in the back of the tv for the hook ups.

Once you set up the adapter through the steps in the instructions just connect it to the Blu-ray player. You don't have to setup the Blu-ray player first.
