It will send audio back to the receiver to eliminate needing an additional HDMI cable.
1.4 is just the latest technology. It just means that with a HDMI 1.4 cable, you will get faster data transferring. If I was going to buy a HDMI cable and not know what version to get, I would just get the cheapest one. HDMI 1.4 is the specification for cable that is compatible with 3D transmissions. If you purchase a 1.3 spec cable, it may work with 3D, but it is not guaranteed. 1.4 also has the provision for Audio Return Channel, which may or may not be supported through your equipment.
HDMI cables can carry audio but it is in digital format only. Any HDMI connector will be capable of carrying the audio content and any input should be capable of receiving and processing the audio in digital format. There should normally be no need to use analog audio with HDMI but there is one notable exception. HDMI shares the same video interface format as DVI, the digital display output used on computers. However, DVI does not support audio so a cable that links a DVI output to an HDMI input will not carry audio. For this reason, many new televisions have at least one HDMI input that also has an analog audio input associated with the HDMI port. This is specifically provided to cater for DVI + analog audio as delivered by many computers.
No, but the HDMI cable also carries AUDIO.
No. The only cable that transmits audio and video is HDMI.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data
HDMI is a digital connection that transports video up to High Definition and multi-channel audio. S-Video is an analogue connection that transports video in standard definition and with no audio.
No, a VGA cable does not carry audio. You will need a converter that has an audio input to add the sound channel to the VGA picture channel.
If you want an audio output from the TV to connect to a home theater receiver or other amplifier, you will have to use the optical digital audio output or Audio Return Channel through the HDMI connectors. Those are the only outputs on this TV.
This is not an HDMI cable. Its for Playstation only. HDMI to DVI would be a cable, but does not support audio. We do not have a way to tap the audio off of an HDMI port.
no the HDMI cable provides for both audio and HD video
HDMI splitter is compatible with Digital Audio. HDMI cables and splitters are carrying audio and video signals without any data loss or downgrading quality.
HDMI is the only cable you need, because it carries a high-definition video and multi-channel audio signal all in one cable.
HDMI 1.3 is backwards compatible with HDMI 1.1 so most devices will work together OK. However an HDMI 1.3 source usually has an extra option of sending the audio as a bitstream instead of multiple decoded PCM channels. Most AV Receivers with HDMI inputs can decode a bitstream if used, otherwise they play the PCM channels. When connecting a multi-channel audio source directly to a TV it will often be necessary to set the source to output in 2-channel mode instead of multi-channel mode otherwise no sound at all will be heard.
There are converters that go from HDMI to Composite or Component video with audio.

No, you cannot convert HDMI (digital) into component video (analog), or extract the audio in analog form. Both devices must be HDMI to permit a connection.
