It's a cable that carries both the HD video and audio from a video source to a digital TV. Look up "HDMI" at wikipedia, it will provide a wealth of info. Also, the i & p in 1080i and 1080p refer to "interlaced" and "progressive". I won't attempt to explain them here, just look up "HDTV" (over at wikipedia again) for a much better explanation than I could ever hope to provide. Hope this helps.

My cable goes through the wall. I tried re-plugging it in, restarting it, using connections in other rooms, etc. I also use my Wii through the aux cords and occasionally I plug in my Wii U through the HDMI port. No matter what I was using, the screen was still messed up. I'm not sure if that's what you were trying to get at with your question? I hope I answered it fully though. =]

Sorry Ron, I don't know much about that. But the HDMI cable I used was the one from my Xbox 360.

I also use HDMI. I had trouble figuring out the sound at first, but went on you tube and a 10 year old kid taught me how to get it working:). It wasn't difficult at all. Took about 15 min of trying myself and about 2 min after I watched the kid do it on you tube.

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver. there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

Thanks for the infor, but I returned mine and they sent me a new one including hdmi cables. Maybe they just did not want the hastle. They also have an exchange policy. I find that Sony electronics are not as good as they used to be. I am still in love with their tv"s, but nothing else. I don't think anyone can beat there tv"s. Thakks for your reply.

great answer and thanks for the hook-up advice. It is kind of what I figured I'd have to do so I already ordered a third HDMI cable.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

@radar363: thank for the information. I kept getting multiple information from vayring sources who should have known the correct response, including the manufacturer of my Television Set. Finally I ordered the cable just to have it on hand when I started setting up and quickly discovered that all but one of my sources was incorrect (and the correct one was NOT the manufacturer of my TV) and I didn't need it at all. Live and learn. But, I appreciate you help. Judi
