who said that not me. if it were perfect it'd have 3D ultra quad sound and be cable of supporting the type of screens they have in the iMax cinemas.
for about £500
How ancient ?
In the specs of the mac mini it states that the HDMI doesn't support audio.
It does depend on which version of DVI though.
Most PCs with DVI are probably DVI-D only and purely digital; some are DVI-I and provide both analogue and digital on the same connector; I've never seen a purely analogue DVI-A though.

Pass?
From memory there were 6 phono connectors on the component input on the TV and I was hoping two of them were audio and one composite video (but it was only a hope and hence the b/w picture?). ;-(
I wasn't expected HD Dave, just hoping for 'a colour picture with sound' (and this was only a 19" TV so the data density still reasonable on LD). It's still all working ok but I'm going to see if I can replace it with a ~23" TV tomorrow ...
I've seen that sort of thing in use (over 2 x Cat6).
Oooerr!
'Humax' (mutter mumble).
The Mrs had two (from new) and they were both unreliable. She (like me) now uses an old Toppy (that I've re-capped) and that just plods on and on ... (I know ... 'Till the switchover ...').
Cheers, T i m
If it follows the colour code convention, composite video would be yellow.
But most component inputs only have three for video. If there are four, that suggests there is a composite input - perhaps needs to be selected in the menu?
I've just got an HDMI 4 input switcher since I've run out of inputs on the TV. That has two outputs which any of the inputs can be selected to individually. Meaning I can get rid of the HDMI DA. Will see if that sorts things.
I'm not a lover of the Humax. Have two, including the BT version which I've just had replaced for free. And neither is as nice to use as the Toppy, which I still have.
The trouble with two outputs is that it defeats the end-to-end security protocol of HDCP 2.2. Which means that the switch maker is either bravely doing something against the American law with American Bluray content or that your switch won't work with BluRay 4k DVD signals, except at reduced resolution. With my switch it was the latter. And I had to get a single output switch which was HDCP 2.2 compliant
