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...

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.

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??

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 can't say whether this TV model is being fazed out. It will work fine after the switch to digital TV. My guess is that it does not have an HDMI port because there's no reason for it to have one. What would you use the HDMI port for? It already has a DVD player built-in. It's so small you wouldn't want to spend $200+ to connect a Blu-Ray Player to it, or a home theater system. Regular cable doesn't require HDMI (though HD Cable might, but are you going to pay to rent a Digital Cable Box for a tiny TV?).

There are only 2 inputs. 1 standard audio L/R jacks and one digital audio. No HDMI. You need to plug everything into your tv and use the tv audio out to the speaker bar. Which really is the best way anyways. And then it does have Bluetooth so anything with Bluetooth will connect as well.

Hello Lilyan, It's been a while since I had that TV. I don't believe the TV itself had smart TV technology. If you have a Wii or DVD player with smart TV you could stream from those to the TV. Unless you're getting a great deal on that TV (less than $500) I would steer clear of it. The picture was fantastic while it lasted, but started getting grid lines through it and Sony would not fix. hth..

It's not an HDMI to component converter. If it were, then you would turn an HDMI signal into a Component signal so that you could plug an HDMI only output device into a Component input on your TV. This particular box does the opposite. It will allow you to plug in a Component only output device (such as a Wii Console with the official component cable) into a screen that only has HDMI ports open, such as a monitor. And trust me, if we are looking at the same model, the latter is the case. I own one, I have for around 6 months now and this one definitely only goes one way: Component to HDMI.

Here are pictures of the front and back of the TV in the 2 following links bellow. I hope that can help answer your question. And for clarification there is just one HDMI port on the side, the other one that looks like an HDMI port is actually a USB porthttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/418ljeNsoDL.jpghttp://cdn.avsforum.com/2/22/800x600px-LL-2262307d_B0076HMD78-41DlJY8dZ-L.jpeg

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).

even brand new tv's come with the red white and yellow connections, sometimes they are on the sides or in the front. I just bought a brand new tv and it has two of them, two components and two hdmi's so if it has S-video it HAS to have the red white and yellow because S-video has to run sound with the red and the white cables.

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

My cable goes through the wall. I tried re-plugging it in, restarting it, using connections in other rooms, etc. I also use my Wii through the aux cords and occasionally I plug in my Wii U through the HDMI port. No matter what I was using, the screen was still messed up. I'm not sure if that's what you were trying to get at with your question? I hope I answered it fully though. =]

Just wanted to put my two cents in too! I just received mine last night - I have a 3 TB hard drive connected to it - I got it because not all tvs (or game systems) play all the different movie formats - this thing plays them all - I am VERY IMPRESSED, and based on the fact of seeing two USB ports I'm positive I can hook up another hard drive (the cartoon one for the kids). There wasn't any lag works perfect. If they ever add more options to the home menu that would be a bonus!

I have this receiver and wanted to let you know that on this model the HDMI ports are ONLY FOR Video. You need to use an optical cable to get at least 5.1 sound. The advantage of HDMI is that the audio and video signals are on the same cable. I don't know why it doesn't work like that on this one? It is not the top of the line so the newer ones probably have it. I think the norm now is 7.1 or 7.2 channels. It is a good receiver though. I don't even have a subwoofer hooked up to it and it still sounds good. I hope that helps you out. You can plug an optical cable from the tv to the receiver but it might be only 2 channel surround sound. I use that setup for my roku 3 I hope this helps.

Yes, there are 2 HDMI connections and regular red, white, yellow connections for plugins.

That's what I did with HDMI out from Direct TV Box to the Component Video and Sound in of an older TV. There must be the three component video jacks (RBG) in on the TV. A TV with just 1 yellow video in will not work.
