Have your say & ask the experts

  I have finally setup my bluray player and have it plugged int my amp via HDMI.  My amp will only output 1080i video, that results in a slightly juddery image compared to a 1080p signal  straight to the tv.  Is it possible to split the outgoing signal from the bluray player, so I can have a HDMI to the amp for sound and one to the telly for the 1080p signal?

Cheers  

Thanks for your reply Andrew

I don't think so.  I've been through the manual a few times and can't find a reference to it yet.  If you think it would be a pain I may just have to send it back and get one with analogue outs.    

It's a yamaha rxv1600, so if anyone does know if it is possible to pass a 1080p signal and in a blind panic I have just overlooked something. I would be very grateful if you could let me know.

Cheers

Using a splitter will lead to 2.0 stereo audio output as when the devices perform the handshake they default to the lowest common denominator i.e. the TV.

It looks like the sony 360 is going back and either a 550 or 760 will replace it.  Abit of a shame but the judder is too noticable to put up with.

the up conversion was set to off and both hdmi give out a 1080i signal.  I think I'm going  to have to get a player with analogue outs and connect directly to the tv.
