I know that with HDMI you can do both audio and video. But to get the sound from the movie you connect the Blu ray to the sound system, right? And then that sound system, through HDMI wire, to the TV?
Is that how it's done?
How many HDMI output jacks does your Blu-ray player have? If it has two or more, then you should use one output for your TV and a second output for the sound system. If the player only has one HDMI output, then you should check if your TV has both an HDMI input and output. In this case, connect the player output to the TV input and then the TV output to the sound system input. Some TVs do not support a true HDMI passthrough, so you may not get full surround sound capabilities. There is also the possibility that your sound system has an HDMI output. In that case, connect the player output to the sound system input and the sound system output to the TV input. If none of these work, then you should invest in an HDMI splitter to convert the single output on the player into two outputs or utilize an alternate connection method for the sound system (such as an optical cable).

I only have 1 blu ray hdmi output, and 3 hdmi outputs on my tv. I don't have the sound system yet but I was so confused when I was looking in the Bose store
shareI don't have the sound system yet but I was so confused when I was looking in the Bose store Once you get a sound system, the manual should include several connection methods. If you get stuck, then come back here and post your problem.
Personally, I would advise against getting a Bose system. They are way overpriced for the sound quality. The only real advantage Bose has is with their pretty packaging. If you post what your budget is, there are many users here that can direct you to better systems for your money.

Yeah, they had some small system for $800. I only asked because I am looking for a sound system now and the guy in bose seemed like the best person in the mall to ask (since he works at a sound system store)

And why on earth wouldn't one want to connect player->amp->tv, if the amp allows for it?

Does any blu-ray player have multiple HDMI-outs?I am not aware of any, but that does not preclude that one may be in existence.And why on earth wouldn't one want to connect player->amp->tv, if the amp allows for it?Did you even bother to read the rest of my post? I covered that scenario as well.

Did you even bother to read the rest of my post? I covered that scenario as well.Of course I did. judging by the order you went with, i thought that your opinion is that
player->tv->amp
would be preferable to
player->amp->tv
and i was wondering why. connecting everything to the amp and then the amp to the tv saves you a few wires and helps with any possible lipsync problems.
i'm not aware of any benefits that would come from connecting to the tv first and amp second, and the dowsides are more cables hanging from the tv and possible lipsync-issues.

True.
