How do I connect all these components to get surround sound from TV, and Blu Ray, and show Hi-Def picture quality from cable box. Do I need a switcher? The receiver is lacking HDMI inputs, so it cannot serve as a switcher. Should I input HDMI from the cable box, Blu-Ray and receiver into HDTV, but connect to receiver using component wiring?


Answer
Hi Foxy 69......You have a samsung home theater in a box type of set up with just the one hdmi output at the rear of this samsung.....ok....If you connect from your components to just the tv,you will be defeating your intentive purpose of wanting to use the samsung to output the surround sound for you......So, what i suggest you get is a splitter or a switcher box same type of thing and they come in many different formats....So,i suggest you get a box that has two hdmi outputs on it....That way you can run a hdmi lead from one of these hdmi outputs on the splitter box to the rear of your samsung and the other hdmi output on the splitter box to the tv....thus splitting the output signal to two....ok.....You can get these with say two,three,four or ten hdmi inputs for you to connect to if you wanted to,so you pick one that will suit your price range and your application.......After you have connected the tv and the samsung,then you can connect your blu ray player and cable box to the splitter box inputs and make sure you get into the video and audio menu's on all of your component's I.E: (tv,blu ray player and cable box) and set them to "hdmi"....Any of the splitter boxes that have hdmi output's & input's will support two different formats and they are the 1.3 for hd standard&hi-def hd and the 1.4 for the 3d hd compatible components....so,if your component's are in fact 1.3 compatible,then you must pick one that is the 1.3 hdmi compatible as the 1.4 will not work... ok...Using a hdmi cable is a much better quality than optical digital cable....Fact!............................................So you can get one of these splitter boxes from this website........"hdtvsupply.com".......To search for the splitter box on their website....on there main page on the lefthand side you will see a product list....scroll down that list until you find " hdmi products"....Then you can click on either the "hdmi splitter" or the "hdmi switchers" to find ok and some of these do have a remote control.......So if you want cheap 'n nasty made in china,go to amazon.com or ebay...if you want a well built quality american product,then go to this website i have suggested for you...Your choice.....Cheers!

Can you make a regular TV into HDTV just by plugging in a cable or adapter?

I can't decide weather to buy a HD ready TV or just keeping my normal non HD TV and buying a cable which turns it into HD. Do you guys know if you get the same quality from doing the cheap way? (buying the cable)


Answer
A HD set top box is available for purchase which just connects to your regular TV (plasma or LCD), ask around at electronic and electrical stores...
They are available here in Australia for around $500, i'm not sure about the U.S or other countries.
I have one and it is exactly how they describe, i've never seen a better picture or heard better sound and some programs on TV have a 3D image (you can change camera angles).
