(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I searched via Google for the information I need (which isn't related to gaming), and came to this forum since it was the only result where I saw anyone discussing HDMI.

I recently replaced a failing d.v.d./c.d. player only to find that it has to be connected to an HDMI port on a t.v. receiver for it to output audio. I don't want to play audio through the t.v., only through my audio system from the two phono sockets on the player.

What I would like to do is trick the player into thinking that a t.v. is connected and has an HDMI port selected as its input.

I hope there might be a simple method, e.g. a jumper on the player's HDMI connector, or if it would need something more complex, such as a data response.

Does anyone know, or know where else I might ask?

you can use converters, eg HDMI to VGA/DVI/AV , just google HDMI converter :p

Thank you Alpaca.

I have looked on the net and found a variety of items with the same name. None of the descriptions are sufficiently detailed to tell me what I want to know; specifically, will plugging in such a device tell the player to provide output.

Should do given how it is the output
