Yes, it does, but since you don't want the TV doing the audio


So what I gather is you have a TV, a cable box, and a combo receiver/DVD player. Is that right?

I would connect it as such:
cable box video out: component to the TV*
cable box audio out: RCA jacks to the TV in on the receiver
receiver video out: component to the TV
receiver audio: proprietary cable to the subwoofer, etc.

*I believe that comcast HD goes up to 1080i so you're not gaining anything by using HDMI. If the only cable you have is HDMI, use that but you'll need to mute the audio on the HDMI via the cable box.

That may be what its purpose in life is but the system you have doesn't want to work that way. I'm basically suggesting that you use the HDMI for video to the TV and the RCA from the cable box direct to the surround sound system. I don't know if the cable box will output on both systems at the same time - I've had some that wouldn't - but going through the TV to get to the surround sound system seems like an extra step that isn't necessary. Unless your audio is doing a mileage run, of course. ;)

Agreed, but most cable boxes do not like having component/s-video/anything else and HDTV via HDMI running at the same time, something about DRM/copyright junk in the video stream.

Something else occurred to me, though: it may be a bad HDMI cable. In any event, the test that I outlined where the component video to the tv and analog audio directly to the receiver should give some indication as to where the issue is. Or at least what to do next.

I thought he was actually making a real recommendation, I did not even click the link to see it was a monster cable to start with :D Best Buy may not match this price, they want $499 for it! (kidding i really have no idea)

From what you lay out, it sounds like that needs two sets of component video cable?

The thought of a bad HDMI crossed my mind too, but the picture is a lot cleaner since installing it.
