I just purchased an HDMI DVD player (Panasonic S77S) and have a new plasma with HDMI on the way, as well. I ordered a plasma with HDMI for the video quality, but just found that HDMI carries the audio AND video. Thus, my question is the following:
My receiver doesn't have HDMI inputs, only digital audio inputs (coax and optical), so should I be able to have my DVD player output the audio to a discrete digital audio channel (the coax or optical) and still use the HDMI for video to my plasma set? I'm not sure if my plasma (I ordered a Panasonic TH-42PWD8UK) has a digital audio out to carry the signal back to my receiver.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
