A friend of mine wants to get into multi channel music. I'm a little confused about what hardware is necessary in terms of a player to playback DVD-Audio discs. Of course, they can be played on a universal player, but can a dvd-audio be played back on a regular dvd player? I didn't think it could, but I am able to playback dvd-audio discs through the dvd player in my laptop via the VLC player. But if I try to playback a dvd-audio disc on a couple of dvd players I have hooked up to my receiver I get the video to playback, but no audio. All my players are hooked up via HMDI. They playback movies just fine using the HMDI, but when attempting to playback a dvd-audio disc they will only play the video portion. Is that normal? Is a normal dvd player supposed to be able to playback a dvd-audio disc? And if not, then why can I play them on the dvd drive in my laptop? On my laptop I get video and audio.
Any clarification would be appreciated.
