Thank you guys!
I would keep the speakers and the player - the speakers do have proprietary connectors but they connect through standard audio cables - I know this for sure, because I had to extend the length of some of the cables.
And I do still need a BD player as well - for BD3D playback, for stuff that requires a menu, like bonus features and BD Live and stuff and I also need it for when my PC is busy rendering or something and I don’t want to put extra strain on it.Another problem I have is that I need to still be able to use the normal PC speakers for when I’m not using the projector.
Harmy - I’m confused. What do you mean proprietary plugs and standard cable. If you go to a basic AVR that can handle HDMI and Coax Digital Audio Codecs - you will need traditional speaker wire and/or banana plugs and speakers that can handle the appropriate wattage. An AVR that we are talking about will not use the proprietary plugs you speak of.
Rereading your original post:
PC Audio Card -> 5.1 computer speakers.
PC Audio Card -> toslink -> Panasonic BD/HT Combo.
Panasonic BD/HT -> HMDI -> Projector.
Do you ever connect the PC to the projector for video? And if so how?
And what you want is:
PC Audio Card -> 5.1 Computer Speakers.
PC Audio Card -> HMDI OUT -> AVR -> Speakers.
Pansonic BD/HT Device -> HDMI OUT -> AVR -> Speakers/Projector
Correct?
