By using HDMI yes you can hear sound also from your HTIB. But yes, it is applicable for movies played from your HTIB only.
But now you're talking about Astro right? Astro is a different source, the video cable (yellow) goes from Astro -> TV. For sound, the white + red cable goes from Astro -> HTIB (but remember which input you used, maybe it is AUX1).
Maybe now you say nothing happened because in your HTIB you haven't selected the correct input. Check where your white + red cable is plugged into and select that - you should be able to hear the sounds from Astro.

QUOTE(pay3d @ Apr 13 2009, 04:13 PM) yup, my HTIB got the HDMI output. So this way also can ar??? Any setting on my HTIB or my LCD to allow it works perfectly??? waa....never know so many ways to do this....  Cables are just like a road for your signals. Many different roads can lead to the same place as long as you know how to jalan. Then in your journey you will learn which road is better because not all roads are the same. So for example like video signal can use composite (yellow) or s-video or component or HDMI - it depends what is available on the source and the display device. |

QUOTE(tongkito @ Apr 15 2009, 02:22 PM) if your receiver support upscale 1080P, the your astro will be FULL HD wannabe, at least 10-20% better than normal pic. Yeah, that's one thing I'd like to know - whether Astro signal upscaled to 1080 looks good or not. Because Astro is output via composite or s-video only I think cannot upscale to 1080p, only to 1080i. |

QUOTE(tongkito @ Apr 15 2009, 02:56 PM) of course you can upscale to 1080P, i've tried w/ my former Denon 1909, it's upscaled quite nicely w/ faroudja. most of mid-low end receiver only support upscale or upconvert using the same connection (HDMI > HDMI, or component > component) and does not support different connection ( composite > HDMI output) feel the difference between composite and S-Video, absolutely you've got better performance. next try upscale to 1080P, although it's not look good (since the source only 480i) but slightly better than S-video. Thanks for the feedback. I must try Astro upscaling when I get the new receiver. |

Ok, at the moment I think the audio wires (red and white) from your Astro and DVD are connected to your LCD TV input right?
Then in your LCD TV look for the TV out audio jacks (also red and white). Get the wires and connect from TV out to your amp input (maybe choose AUX1).
So when you are watching either Astro or dvd, in your amp select the AUX1 and you will hear sound from your speakers (and your LCD TV also have sound as usual).

QUOTE(rakyat @ Apr 17 2009, 09:42 AM) IMHO the more conventional way would be to connect the Astro (red & white) & DVD (toslink?) audio output to your AVR; LCD u connect ONLY Video output (S-video from astro or yellow RCA) unless ur AVR has an upscaler the u connect all source (audio & video) to AVR and HDMI to LCD. Unless u oso want audio to come fr ur LCD..... Yeah I suggested that method so that audio can also come from LCD. Like that you have the flexibility just to turn on the LCD and watch the program with audio (in case sometimes don't feel like turning on the amp). The other advantage is: on the amp you just need to set it to 1 input for audio. Otherwise using your method, have to select between 2 inputs. |
