I plan to buy thi amp

My worry are I don't understand the explaination below :

1) Unfortunately at this price, there are compromises. For one, the HDMI interface on this receiver serves as a switcher function only and does NOT support audio or OSD functionality. In actuality, you are better off using component video on this receiver if your sources are all limited to 480p and perhaps run the one source you have that is 1080p directly into your display via a separate HDMI input.

If you interested in 1080p upscaling and HDMI OSD support and audio processing, then this receiver is not for you. We’ll check out some of Pioneer's budget priced models with 1080p upscaling soon and let you know what we think.


It's that mean that if I have PS# or bluray player next time, I can't have surround just can get stereo only coz now I'm using HOme Theater pioner player non HDMI connection to TV and to make pic better I bought pioneer player with HDMI connection ( 410 ) BUT when just can get the stereo sound ONLY


PLS any opinion

It means

PS3 or BDP -----HDMI----->VSX818--------HDMI----->LCD for video
                +
                ------OPTICAL-->VSX818---------->Speakers for 5.1 sound

you need 3 cables, 2 HDMI and 1 optical.

or

PS3 or BDP -----HDMI------------------------->LCD for video, mute the audio
                +
                ------OPTICAL-->VSX818---------->Speakers for 5.1 sound

so you just need 2 cables.
But if it said the HDMI at VSX818 does not support audio then what is it for?

If I remember correctly a repeater means the opposite, i.e the unit will not use audio via HDMI

It's normal in the entry level models (for all brands) will not take in audio via HDMI and you need an optical connection (i.e dd/dts only)
