composite input to HDMI? from the product description it says it'd upcovert signals to 1080p, I input a composite signal with HDMI output but got no signal on TV....did I misunderstand?

Double check that you plugged the HDMI cable into a output port. It has in and out HDMI. (4 in and 1 out) Page 23 of the manual. "Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output. The composite video and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are."

Many TVs have a component input location the is made up of five ports. There are 3 for the 3 colors the tv displays and 2 for audio of course. If your TV does not have a place to plug in the component cables, you will need to get a converter. Your TV probably has and hdmi input. If not, just stick with the composite cable. The wii isn't a high definition device anyway so you won't display in 1080p ever with it. These cables do work for Wii U.

I did not purchase this product, however, it seems to be a signal converter (white, yellow, red) but I see no HDMI cable extension. It's one or the other. So..Leah? are you connecting HDMI/red,yellow,white to this box? If so, box needs connection to TV's input (1 or 2) with same red, white, yellow cable

The TV includes a standard HDMI cable. I think up conversion must be done by onboard electronics in the TV itself, not the cable. Certainly the HDMI cable carries a 4k signal.

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

If your TV has composite AV input (red, white and yellow RCA jacks, yes, but you won't get HD resolution when using that input as the source. That's because composite cables don't support HD resolution. About the best you can expect is 480p.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

First, do you have another TV to test it with? Second, make sure to try the 720p setting and the 1080p setting. It is possible your TV (even with HDMI) may nop be able to support 1080p. How old is it? Go in to the input settings on your TV and see if you can make a change there that will make it work. FYI, mine worked right off the bat on both resolutions but my TV is less than a year old.

So then, if I connect the cable using the compnent video cables, it should up convert the regular cable channels, correct?Is that a better trade off than using the HDMI as the connection between the cable box and the receiver?

no, this was made as an upscaler, ie. from a lower qulity connection to higher quality connection, so RCA to HDMI. you can try to find a downscaler.

So, "Analog to HDMI upconversion" basically means its going to take the old analog signal (or picture/audio quality) and convert it into a digital signal, (480i to 480p) which means that you will have a much better video/audio quality. Everything will look and sound better, basically. I hope this helps answer your question. Happy Holidays!!!

There is a HDMI and composite video in the back either will work on your TV. But this thing is a really cheap built unit with bad audio feedback and lag. We returned ours when it died a week later. Very poor quality control. If you can get rid of it.

I got out my Xbox 360 component cable and decided to check it out so I could answer your question and because I was curious, too. No, it does not support 1080p over the component video input. It should still look good at 1080i and it does allow the option of disabling over-scan on 1080i just like it does on 1080p. By the way, I actually had the Xbox 360 configured for 1080p on the component connection for a different device that does support 1080p and had to switch the cable off of HD to get picture so that I could figure out how to navigate to the screen mode option to take it off 1080p. I'd previously found that it does not support 1080p over the VGA input either. If you just must have 1080p with your existing Xbox 360, you could try a component to HDMI or VGA to HDMI converter box (I'd only trust a converter box to work right, not those converter cables some sell for those conversions). Be sure it either says it supports 1080p or 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (probably more applicable for VGA to HDMI) for input and output, as some don't support 1080p output.

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

I don't for a minute believe this TV is 1080, but for composite inputs I get a pretty good picture quality out of mine. Have you checked the source?

I've used it with a couple of old analog devices (RCA yellow cord) running them into a 1080p TV and it worked fine. I was even surprised how well it upgraded the quality of the video. I see no reason why it shouldn't work as well on a 720p TV given that your 720p TV has HDMI input. But I have not tried it because I don't have a 720p TV.

I had an overscan problem with this set as well with PC to HDMI and the soulution was using the VGA PC input. I know HDMI sounds like a better choice but in this case it is not. With the HDMI port I was only getting something like 1768 x 992 resolution and text was a TINY bit blurred. But with the VGA input I'm getting tne full 1920 x 1080 resolution with no overscan and the images it produces are clearer. Try for yourself!
