Blu-ray Set Up Query?
Have just upgraded my home cinema set-up. The sales person in the store I got my receiver told me I needed a coaxial cable to connect my Blu-ray player to my receiver, as well as the HDMI cable. However the instruction manual for the receiver says I actually need an Optical Digital Cord. I can play DVDs fine on the player but as I don't own any Blu-ray discs yet haven't had a chance to try that out.
Which do I need? coaxial? Or Optical digital? I assume they're different cables and I can't just swap this one round? |

Bloody sales people. Know nothing they do!
Reebop, what make and model is your receiver? Want to find out if it can do HDMI audio. |

It's a SONY S-DH500.
At the moment it's got an HDMI cable from Blu-ray player to receiver and another from receiver to TV. And a coaxial cable from Blu-ray to Receiver too. Like I said, DVDs play fine. |

Nope it doesn't do HDMI audio for Blu-Ray. So get yourself a optical cable to go between the player and receiver.

Thank you.
So essentially Richer Sounds sold me a coaxial for DVD when they should have sold me optical digital for Blu-ray!! |

My Blu ray only has coaxial output to attach to the receiver - I went into a local home cinema emporium to get a coaxial cable, and they didn't have a frigging clue what I was talking about and insisted that I needed an optical cable and thought I was mental
