    I just ordered a Onyko TX-SR608 for two reasons:
    1.  My Harman Kardon AVR630 is on it’s last legs
    2.  I wanted a receiver that could handle DTS-HD and Dolby True HD

    Now the problem is that my TV’s DVI input (no HDMI on it) does not work.  This hasn’t been a big deal because I’ve just been using the component video.  So my question is, what are my options for using component video while still getting HD Audio to my receiver?  Will a ATI 5xxx video card output analog video while also sending HD Audio to the receiver?  I am assuming this is not possible, but thought I’d ask.  I’ve considered the Auzentech sound card that will do HD Audio but I read on their website that it’s designed for PowerDVD 9 and I am using TMT3 so I don’t even know if this is an option.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Modern graphics cards don’t do component output anymore, since HDMI is so common now. So sadly you need to figure out how to get that DVI port working. What TV is it? and why is the DVI port dead? Can you have it repaired?
