AV Truth I have a question?

Question

I have the Samsung 1400 hooked up to a dvd/receiver unit. It decodes all the formats. It is an upscaled dvd converter with speakers (one of them deals) Because of that I have a coaxial input as well as many rca audio inputs and one HDMI to go to the tv for upscaling. Obviously I do not use the upscale anymore because of the Samsung BR. My question is can I get uncompressed audio by simply hooking up an rca cable from my Samsung player to the phillips all in one? I do not have the old standard 5.1 setup labeled by channel inputs. (lt,rt,c,r,sub) There is the coaxial digital available if you would want to use that and about 4 audio ins that would use RCA cables..If I plug in an RCA cable to the audio out running from Samsung to the Phillips will I get uncompressed audio? That is where I am confused. Like I said, the 5.1 rca setup is not there. However if I use RCA AUDIO from the Samsung to the Phillips will this give me the sound I am looking for?

Answer 1

The only way to get uncompressed audio is via HDMI to an HDMI 1.3 receiver that will take the bistreams and decode them to the uncompressed audio soundtracks.

Answer 2

the digital coax (orange) will give you an uncompressed digital signal. the only question I would have is if there is a digital audio in on the all in one? if the answer is no then you are out of luck.
