But how can you personally prefer HD-DVD if Blu-ray is better? Surely there's some disadvantage that made you decide against Blu-ray?
More of a bad experience.
I had no sound on some of the films we (briefly) owned, but I had sound if I used a standard analogue stereo phono cable.
Yet in all other areas HDMI worked fine and I had sound.
So, do users need to have HDMI *and* the analogue cable inserted to get sound?
What, "if there's no sound, switch your audio source." where this depended on the film?
My telly suppported several digital audio formats, for ease I chose PCM, since everythin is *supposed* to support it, but nope, no sound with these Blu-ray films.
I would hope these problems would be ironed out in firmware updates and or re-releases of "faulty" disks, but what kind of impression is it?
