Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that.
So with a DVI output I can get a DVI-HDMI cable converter and get the
video to the TV. I then send the audio over spdif or something that's
accepted by the receiver?
Seems to make sense.
Thanks,
Mark

It doesn't matter. Electrically they are the same. It's the same wires
and same signals, just in differently shaped connectors. That's why the
DVI-to-HDMI "converters" are really just plastic boxes with a bunch of
criss-crossing wires. So if it works with DVI, it's got to work fine
with HDMI too.
The only difference is that HDMI has additional wires to carry sound,
along with image.
