Woops. I meant no HDMI on my receiver for the awesome (uncompressed) audio. I do have an HDMI cable from the Toshiba XA-2 to the Pioneer Elite. The ISF technician also calibrated the XA-2.
Since you obviously know a lot more than I do about this stuff let me ask a question about HDMI cables. Say I have a 1.3 receiver (don't exist yet) and a 1.3 HD-DVD player (which I have). I am starting to see HDMI cable ads stating their cable is an HDMI 1.3 cable. Is this hype?
