I have been readin a lot about new recievers with HDMI switching/conversion ability. I understand that this helps upconvert s - video and composite signals to hdmi
My question is if I have an upscaling dvd player which uses hdmi and a tv that accepts an hdmi cable... do I still need this feature? I guess my question is if my reciever does not possess the hdmi switching/conversion ability can I still directly hook the dvd player to the tv using hdmi and still enjoy surround sound from the reciever or will I be only able to get the 5.1 surround if I go through my receiver using component inputs(but sacrifice the upscaling feature in the bargain)?
If all the above sound like gibberish just tell me .. for the purpose of playing dvds with upscaled picture and surround sound.. do I need both a receiver with hdmi and a dvd with hdmi.. or just the dvd player will suffice?
