Blu-ray is best view and heard near HDMI ports which is actually one cable containing digital video and audio.
Yes. At least I expect so. Ask a person at the store you are going to buy the blu-ray player at. If you only just bought the HD DVD player, return it. Blu-ray has only just won the format war. So no more HD DVD's.
