You need for more than one HDMI device:

 

1. a HDMI switch with separate coax sound output plus HDMI to DVI cable plus coax cable for Sound. All devices attach via HDMI to HDMI cable to the switch. 

link or similar

 

OR

2.  one HDMI to DVI plus Sound converter (Sound Can be spdif - but then you Need a spdif to coax converter, too).

You connect HDMI Input to your device and and HDMI Output via DVI cable to the DVI Slot. Sound via coax (Maybe converter first…)

Thanks Ralf, great info.

I have decided to just use the BV7 for viewing content via an Amazon Firestick which requires a female HDMI at one end and one of the options you have mentioned at the other. Is there any difference in output quality between DVI, SCART and Component?

DVI best

Component good

Scart worst

Excellent, thanks!

Hi, ok so I am going to get a HDMI > DVI convector, Can anyone recommend one that will definitely work with a Firestick and a BV7 as there are loads out there.
