For those who own the TV, does it have 1 or 2 HDMI slots because I'm reading conflicting reviews? And are there inputs for the olden days 3 red, white, and yellow cords (what are those called?) that one could connect his/her camera or wii to some years ago? Thanks.

hDMI - 1 on back and one one right side. the cable connectors are there (RCA or Composite cables or A/V(audio video)). They are RED, White or audio and yellow for video. The yellow connector on this model is a green plug with a yellow circle around it.

2 HDMI slots on the back - #1 on the side where you connect your cable/satellite, #2 near the center is where you should be able to connect your camera,, etc. for playback on the tv. The "old" audio/video cable connections are the least desirable connection to receive reception. Still, if you don't have a HDMI cable, the a/v connectors work just fine. Hope this helps.

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

You are most welcome! It drives me nuts when they don't tell you exactly what you are getting. I ordered a TV last week, a couple of models included one HDMI cables as a bonus item, most did not. When I was able to confirm my TV did not come with an HDMI cable, I ordered the exact number needed for my various and sundry components. Everything came together--no extra trips needed, perfect!Glad to hear I'm not the only person who still uses the wrist strap... ;o) Again, good luck!

From what it looks like, you are correct in thinking that you will have to select the mode, then the input. The HDMI 1 and 2 ports share a mode with ports 1 and 2 of the component ports. So if you went to Video 1, i would hazard a guess that it defaults to HDMI, and to switch it to component you would have to change it to component. This to me seems like an extra unnecessary step.If anyone has this receiver and cares to prove me wrong, please let me know, because if it doesn't take the extra step, I might actually want to purchase this.

I use component cables for my Wii. Its a slight upgrade from the regular av cables but my pictures looks pretty decent, maabe adjust your tv setting? I haven't gotten it yet, but I'm eyeing this as a solution http://www.microcenter.com/product/385577/Component_Video_and_Audio_to_HDMI_ConverterMy Wii looks ok as I stated, the reason I looked into the Portta was for my PS2, and it is the reason I'm going to get the SIIG. I know it is a bit pricey, but for me it will be worth it, instead of constantly switching cables in and out - keep in mind I have 3 HDMI ports and 2 HDMI splitters, bit I just have a lot of components and the SGIII would save me a headache anytime I wanna play with my PS2.

Got a question, I got this TV and PS3 with a HDMI cable, but as I connected my PS3 with a HDMI cable version 1.3, the TV cannot find the signal...Do you know what could be the problem??

Hi Chris, we were able to get an old TV to use as a dedicated monitor. It had the input jacks right on the front of the monitor. Someone was very happy to get rid of their old TV. Sometimes these inputs are on the side or the back of a TV. One input for the white plug, and one input for the yellow plug. They might be label audio amd visual. It has brought my daughter much pleasure and it is great that it came with 60 games. Good luck! Francine

I was reading, and antoher thing, its that 69 has 1.3 HDMI, which 71 seems doesnt have it. I checked Samsung site, and if you do a comparisson, says the same: 69 with 1.3HDMI, while 71 its not. BUT, if any one has the 71 please confirm this with the factory books that came with the TV.

if i remember correctly, i thought it was dual... but honestly i couldnt be 100% positive. it said 24 pin plus the one, i think the other one is like 18 pins. i do not use the sound but the picture i get is as good as my dvd player can do. maybe you have to download some drivers because some proprietary jerk swapped pin placement. idk. another possibility is the video card is not capable or set up properly. is it possible to swap another cable that is 24 pin and see what happens? good luck, i hate when computers don't work right.

I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and white audio.These cables come with WD ... note that the HDMI is the way to go if you can ... it is a much better picture and sound I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and... » Read More I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and white audio.These cables come with WD ... note that the HDMI is the way to go if you can ... it is a much better picture and sound « Show Less

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

I typically used a standard mini plug to RCA. The mini plug comes with 3 stripes and links 3 color coded red, white and yellow RCAs. This one does not have HDMI connector from what I know...

Mine did not come with an HDMI cable. In the box was a special cable that plugs into the camera and provides the standard red, white & yellow plugs so that you can plug it into pretty much any TV or video recorder (tape or DVD). I have never used that. In my opinion it is kind of silly to sell an HD camera and then provide an SD video adapter. By the way if you need an HDMI cable, buy the AmazonBasics High Speed HDMI cable. I have 4 of these and they are really good and a great price. Please note: the HDMI port on the camera is a mini-HDMI, so you need an adapter to make a regular HDMI cable fit. I used the Cable Matters mini-HDMI (male) to HDMI (female) adapter. Works great. Hope this helps. Mine did not come with an HDMI cable.

you may have two HDMI ports on the back or side of your TV. I would verify which port your plugged into, then set the input for that port. Also, check your connection at the game to assure everything is securely connected. For my Wii I had to have this adapter plus a new HDMI cord to go to the TV. My Satellite box was plugged to HDMI 1, and now my game is plugged into HDMI 2. Hope that helps.

Hey all - hate to break this to ya, but I just tried it out on my 3d setup, and this receiver doesn't seem to pass through at all - I've tried it with DirecTV 3d channels, and with my PS3, and if I connect directly to the TV HDMI, it works just fine, but going through the receiver, as soon as I try and view 3d content, there is no dice. Kind of annoyed here, since I bought this receiver about 1.5 years ago, and it looks like now I'll either have to go through the painful process of hooking up 3d devices directly to the TV, or buy a new 3d capable receiver - poop! :( Well - good luck - hope you folks have better luck than I did :(

The TV has HDMI's inputs, as do most of the recent cable boxes. That's a single wire connection. Other choices are component video as well (these red/green/blue/audio connections are also usually available on your cable box).
