Motorola 7216 HD DVR: HDMI for video, optical for audio?

ghostrider_mww · 11-01-2009, 10:24 AM

Hello,

I have an older Sony receiver that does not support HDMI, so I'm running HDMI directly from the Motorola HD DVR to my HD television. I also have surround sound speakers running from my receiver. Can I connect the Motorola DVR to my receiver via an optical audio cable to get sound? If so, are there any special settings on the DVR that I need to set?

Basically, I'd like to continue using HDMI for video and optical for audio, going through my receiver.

Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks.

Hook up the optical to your receiver, select that input, and you should be good to go.
