Will this unit allow the audio of an HDMI device (like a PlayStation) to play through the TV speakers, or only through the surround speaker outputs?

I don't want to say for sure, since I have not tried or needed to try this, but there is a settings option "HDMI Audio to TV" with on/off which I assume can bypass the amp and allow the tv speakers to play for certain devices. Might even be able to set this up per source (have not verified).

Yes, it is an option "audio to tv".option, which allows audio to be supplemented to TVs (to act as a center channel for example ) or to be used as the only audio output (by disabling the other speakers)

It should as with any other... your TV needs to have either RCA out puts (red, yellow, white) or an optical out put (square looking plug) and those should output anything thats on the TV to the surround system. The HDMI hook up is for watching DVD's in the drive from the surround sound system, and thats why the sounds is from the DVD's only.

I have to agree with you. I have a playstation 3 and a media extender for streaming vids/TV from my computer. That uses up all my HDMI inputs on the Yamaha. So what happens when I get a new device?? Yeah, I'm not really future proofed at all. I'd like to see 4 HDMI inputs.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

This will connect with only hdmi devices. However it acts as an input on your tv. So instead of using your tv you use this to change inputs. So if your using the receiver as a surround sound no it won't. I run an optical cable from my tv to my receiver so I can have surround on all devices. I use this for all my other stuff and it works great. So if your wanting to plug it into the switch it'll work but only for that device on that input.

That's probably not going to work since there is only one output source for the speakers - and those are for the speaker wires. the coax, component video, and optical cable are all inputs, only one hdmi output to connnect to your tv, the rest of the hdmi are all input from your other devices as well. do some search you may find a coax output for speakers, but it may be difficult because a lot of newer receivers are either hdmi, optical, component video and even bluetooth.

QUOTE "If you have an HDMI connection you should be just fine because an HDMI cable sends both audio and video signals through one cable."That standard with HDMI cables BUT does this Sony play through or pass through the sound?

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

I believe it to be true and originally ran HDMI to the TV (DirecTV HD-DVR and PS3) and then optical audio out to my receiver. The sound just didn't "pop" out and then I read the TV manual on a whim and couldn't believe that the output only is in 2-channel. I later read somewhere that it is intentional for copyright reasons. Unfortunately, my Surround Sound Receiver also has an annoying limitation whereby it switches HDMI but does not extract the audio from the HDMI connection. So, the workaround for me was to connect the HDMI (for video only) to the TV, keep the TV volume at zero, and connect the digital audio sources from the components to the receiver (which only has two optical audio inputs.) The sound and audio were offset but most good receivers will let you adjust to get them back in-sync.

This unit has 2 outputs on the back. An HDMI, and a digital audio output (orange color RCA type plug). Most amplifiers that this would connect to probably are equipped with surround sound. Although I haven't tried it, you may be able to connect this device to a HDMI to RCA converter, then connect it to a regular amplifier. Do an Amazon search for "HDMI to RCA converter". Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity%C2%AE-Composite-Video-Audio-Converter/dp/B008FO7PQA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1379384146&sr;=8-1&keywords;=hdmi+to+rca+converter

This can be confusing, but I have tested this extensively. Yes, the HDMI audio will play out through the 3.5mm audio out port on the back to drive a pair of speakers or headphones. If you are on "HDMI 1" then the audio will play from that source. If you switch to "HDMI 2" then the audio will switch to that source. If you switch to D-SUB VGA then you need to have a 3.5mm cable running from your computer audio output/sound card to the 3.5mm input on the monitor. You can only get 1 source at a time and that source has to be the active screen on the monitor. In other words you cannot be looking at "HDMI 1" and getting audio from anything other than "HDMI 1." Also keep in mind that if you want to use the D-SUB audio setup then you "might" need to go into your audio settings in your operating system and make it the default or enable it. "HDMI 1" then

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help. The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals.

I used standard composite cables to hook into my surround sound unit. HDMI cable will work also

Hello.While this unit has no HDMI pass through or inputs/outputs on the back, it does have an optical-in which will allow the TV Optical-out to the receiver. You can then have TV sound out to the speakers.I hope this helps.

I'm not sure if you're asking like you want to watch your TV thru the surround sound or you want to hook up another component either way if you run it through RCA's and run itthrough the auxiliary it works fine

You can use the audio out while connected to hdmi with no issue. We had it set up to some bose computer speakers while the hdmi was connected for video to the tv in Afghanistan for a while...no problems.

I got rid of my Denon receiver but I believe you can. The HDMI has a signal feed back the send audio signal out of the TV over HDMI into the receiver. Most receivers have this feature. If I remember correctly there should be a button on the Denon remote control marked 'TV'. Just press this button and you should here the TV audio over you speakers that are connected to your receiver.
