The most common challenge we see when integrating older PCs or HD displays via HDMI has been the so-called “handshake issue.” Just a few years ago, HTPC-focused websites like Missing Remote, The Green Button and AV Science forums were full of threads troubleshooting audio and video issues related to these issues. While HDMI can provide a fantastic, all digital, high definition audio and video experience, it can also be tricky to implement with older devices, components, displays and AV receivers, especially those that were made prior to the advent of HDMI v.1.3.
