HDMI question

[Richm]

Dont know much about HDMI so thought I would ask it here.

I just bought a Sony 55" LED/LCD tv for my living room along with a Sony Blueray. The TV is wall mount with conduit going down through the floor and all the cables come up through the floor at my audio rack on other side of room.

I was planning on running audio lines from the TV over to the audio rack (where the blueray also sits) but wondering if I could use the RCA audio outs on the blue ray or of those are just audio that comes from the blueray/dvd source.

I didnt know if HDMI was two way and if it could actually pull audio from the TV or not. I cant test it as the HDMI cable I need is 50' and cant get it till tomorrow.

I am not doing anything beyond 2 channel so just need L/R inputs into my 2 channel preamp.

Thanks in advance
