I purchased a new projector (Epson 2150) that has only HDMI and VGA inputs. I don’t have an AVR. In my current set-up the DVD deck audio goes to a Yamaha DSP-E390 amp (rear, subwoofer, center speakers) and a Kenwood KA-3500 amp for the front speakers.
I might have 3 options to run the DVD audio with this new projector:
1. PC video playback into the VGA jack. Audio from PC to Yamaha amp.
2. Buy a BlueRay player with HDMI video out to the projector that has RCA, Optical or Coax audio connections to the Yamaha amp.
3. Buy an AVR in addition to the BlueRay player.
Will options 1, 2 work and not defeat the audio channel separation available on the DVD?
Is there an audio processor available that handles the BlueRay's audio signal? If so, could I use that and my separate amps – avoiding the AVR purchase?
I read that HDCP version 2.2 is necessary when buying a new AVR. Epson confirmed my projector is HDCP 2.2 – does that mean a stand-alone BlueRay player has to be 2.2?
I'm not concerned about any other video inputs. (Playstation, cable, satellite.)
Any suggestions on available options under $300 - $400 would be great.
Thanks
