While this is true, some receivers DO NOT process the HDMI audio feed, they simply pass the video on to the display you have to use a seperate (coax/optical) audio to make your audio connections.

Ok, my tv is HDTV but it doesn't have HDMI port (how odd...) so, I have looked into getting a HDMI->DVI cable and was wondering if it's any better or should I just stick to the good old component cable?
Also, which would be better, digital cable or coaxial cable for sound? Alot of review/opinion are split on that one.

The thing to look at, is will your TV do 1080p and do you HAVE to view your video sources in 1080p if the answer to either one of those is NO then component cables will be just fine as they can output at 720p or 1080i both of which will look just fine. As for the audio cable to use, either of those will work just fine for a 5.1 system but neither has the bandwidth to do a 7.1 signal from an HD audio source (someone please step in on this one if I am wrong)
