receiver: can i assume all AV receivers with HDMI features will carry audio as well as video to my monitor?

Yes they can, thats the idea behind HDMI,both audio and video in one cable to your HDTV,olus the passage of Lossless codecs to your 7.1 receiver if need-be.

no, no audio will be passed through the hdmi cable, these are PASS THROUGH hdmi sources (video only - no sound, always NOTE the (pass through) notes in the product description, in PASS through... audio never works), you would need to connect audio to one of the other connections on the rear of the receiver

yes.your receiver must have HD and the use of a HDMI cable is also a must for the high gain

No only an HDMI cable supports both audio and video, this only supports video.

Nope. Only inputs are DVI and VGA. HDMI is less likely to be on monitors specifically since it includes audio signal which the monitor won't process (and could play havoc with your audio out from your computer).

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help. The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals.

The AVR-receiver as with most new model receivers has and input HDMI and an output HDMI you connect your cable TV or DVD player to the input in the back of the receiver and then your output goes to the projector you have your speakers connect by way of rca wire to the correct speakers ports on the back of your receiver

My system has always been centered around the A/V receiver which handles all the sound. The HDMI output from the A/V receiver goes to my projector. The HDMI cable is only handling video and is not returning sound signals back to the receiver. In my case, the projector acts merely as a monitor. An HDTV can be set up in a similar manner.

I believe that the HDMI does handle audio but the other end, DVI or VGA does not.

No. I have a component video monitor and an NR1604, and I have had to use component video for all sources. You should also be aware that the receiver's on-screen menus will not be visible on your monitor. This is mostly an issue during setup. I uses a small TV with an HDMI input for this.

Yes it can bitstream all HD audio formats over HDMI to a receiver (This was the main reason I bought it). I stream all my content from a NAS including BD rips and mkvs so there is no issue there.

Yes, converts HDMI signal to Component and you can use the audio output of choice from the cable box

I'm not familiar with your specific components but if your tv has an HDMI output connected to the receivers HDMI input you should have HD video and digital audio going from the tv to the receiver through the HDMI cable.

If all you need to do it put audio through your receiver, this device will work for you. My receiver doesn't have HDMI either, so I just feed the audio using TOSLINK to it and the HDMI out to my TV. Works fine.

you could get a $10 ish converter box to take the optical to rca digital, I've had to do that for my audio receiver as it came with more rca digital, than optical, and HDMI was yet to include audio pass through at the time.

There are definitely more qualified responders than me, but there is both HDMI and AV "out" so I would say, "probably" you could do as you suggested. You might want to submit your question to Astak and see if they respond? - www.astak.com or e-mail to support@astak.com -

hdmi hookup has audio, but dvi and vga cables dont have audio, if u want audio u got to use the audio port jack or use the HDMI. mine is plugged into a 6770 video card using the dvi cable to get a picture to my tv. and using the audio jack cable plugged into the back of my surround sound.
