Do you use HDMI for your audio?

I use firewire in my 5.1 system with HDMI for video. In my stereo system I use Toslink.

What no one seems to be discussing is that many of us have none HDCP
compliant HD sets! I have a Yamaha DP-X 1 projector. The DVI input is worthless and I must use the Component RGB analog input. This unit
costs over $10,000....so now is the FCC going to make it obsolete?
Yamaha has no update for this product. They suggest I just buy a new projector!

Yep I use HDMI PCM Multi-Channel in my Denon 3808CI with the PS3 & use HDMI audio in all my other gear.

PalmHarbor,

Why is the DVI port useless? You can get DVI/HDMI adapters.

Also, even if you do use Component inputs, this does not mean that the FCC has anything to do with that. The FCC is just removing analog broadcasts by TV networks. If you have a $10,000 projector then you probably can afford to spend a little bit a month on a satellite or digital cable service. I wouldn't be running analog broadcasts through a projector. Not with all the other options out there.

If it is not HDCP compliant then yes unfortunately you are stuck with Component for most devices, not all, but most. Sorry.

You can attempt to sell the Yamaha projector you have and put the money toward a modestly priced Sony Pearl VPL 50. You won't be disappointed with that component. Just ask Andrew, the Managaing Editor.

I haven't sprung for the Anthem upgrade yet, so I run the HDMI for video and toslink for audio. Another $2k and my Anthem will be upgraded. After the 2-4 week wait. Damn technology upgrades!!!

Be glad Anthem makes these upgrades for you. In fact they are the BEST at HDMI as far as I can see.

I personally am not using HDMI for audio because I can't get it to switch effectivley for video thus requiring me to pull my rackout (going outside to get rack rails) and rebooting the system. I know it costs me some video quality but I would rather watch component right now as opposed to restarting my system everytime I want to watch it.

I WILL be getting an HDMI upgrade soon likely when I get my Meridian 861 upgraded.
