Tip: If your TV have both HDMI and component connector available, connect both to your Byond decoder. Watch HD on HDMI and SD on component. SD channel more vivid and sharper on component. It does make a difference. rclxms.gif

Quest for Astro Byond 5.1 audio

My AV receiver only have 1 TOSLINK input. Read in the previous Astro Byond thread that one can buy a COAXIAL to TOSLINK converter at Jalan Pasar for about RM30. Went to Jalan Pasar last Friday. Went to all the shops and only two got TOSLINK to COAXIAL converter in the bargain bin. Price about RM200. No choice but to purchase the converter on Ebay for about RM80 including postage.

Another problem, my WDTV is using the TOSLINK input, so have to buy a TOSLINK switcher for about RM30 including postage on Ebay as no shop at Jalan Pasar is selling.

Also ended up buying 4 6mm 1M HQ TOSLINK cable for about RM20 each also on Ebay. TOSLINK cable sold at Jalan Pasar, cheapest starts at about RM40. Too expensive and looks fragile.


Will let everyone know the results, when I get all the items next week.
