Can I use my Tivo as an Audio Receiver?

I want to plug my HD plasma into my new home theatre i bought, but my tv doesn't have any audio outputs. TIVO?

  • My tv doesn't have any audio outputs. No optical out and only av in. I would like to set up my tv to the home theatre so when i watch HD channels, i will get surround sound. The dvd player/ receiver that came with the home theatre system connects to the tv with a hdmi cable and 5.1 surround sound works fine on dvd. So, since my tv doesn't have any audio outputs, if i get a tivo would i be able to... -use a hdmi cable to connect the tivo to the tv -use an optical cable to connect the tivo to the dvd player/receiver thing? would that route the tv sound away from the original tv speakers to the home theatre speakers? sorry about the long question. 17 year old girls and electrical stuff don't mix too well lol

  • Answer:

    Most likely the TIVO will work. Here's what to ask the TIVO salesman: Does the TIVO multi-session digital audio through the HDMI and the digital audio output? If he says yes, and he likely will, you have found your solution.

Should work. Just remember to turn down the volume on the tv or you will get an echo.
