Just get my Acer Revo as HTPC and my current setup as below:


AVR -->(HDMI) --> | LCD |<-- (HDMI) <-- HTPC

1. AVR (Philips HTS6600) only 1 HDMI port, i use it as output and connect to LCD.
2. HTPC got only 1 HDMI port and use it as output to LCD.
3. LCD with 2 HDMI.

Now the question is my HTPC to my LCD only stereo... ? I can't connect my HTPC to AVR cause no more HDMI port in AVR. Anyway to configure and output 5.1 channel from this setup? Sorry if i not make my question clear... icon_question.gif

Just another form of digital 5.1 (DD and DTS) input using Coaxial Cable instead of Optical.

...in this case, any chance for me to connect PC directly to AVR coaxial digital input to produce surround sound?
mean PC hdmi to LCD for video.. and PC coaxial cable to AVR for sound..?
