I currently have a multi-zone Onkyo but it will not pass through digital only analog, will this pass through digital such as hdmi?

Zone 2 (audio 2-channel stereo) is useless. It can only pass through analog input sources (e.g. NOT HDMI, because why would you want audio with that HDMI picture on zone 2?) Also it has 2 HDMI outputs, but if you select to pass audio out through HDMI (because Zone 2 audio isn't support on HDMI input) then your zone 1 becomes a 2-channel stereo (not 5.1). There are so many limitations and caveats on use of zone 2, you might as well forget it exists.

I only use mine to pass video but it does that fine from HDMI in to HDMI out.

yes, but I would suggest spending an extra $20 and buying the 616? The 515 has some bugs, and just to be safe I would buy a SquareTrade 3-year warranty.

I assume you are referring to zone 2. I have also encountered some limitations regarding what can passed through. There is some information (complaints) in some of the feedback about this unit with some unhappy customers. I limit what can be played in zone two to either internet radio (via the receiver)or music from my Sony TV with an Ethernet connection which is connected to the receiver via HDMI. I was unable to pass through from one source but I cannot recall what it was. The manual is of limited use and the help desk people from onkyo are also uninformed. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Which of the two optical inputs on the Onkyo do you feed the optical cable from the TV to? I'm not having success in getting satellite video and audio through the Onkyo to play at the same time.

It Outputs on both analog & Digital, but only accepts one input.. So you could output component & HDMI if you really wanted to, but you can not have more then one input type at a time.

my tv has HDMI input but my old onkyo amp does not .. does this mean i can only enjoy the improved sound from the TV?

The LS-T10 has one each; coaxial, optical and analog inputs. It is design for all signal to be input through the TV. Optical from the TV is a good choice. My Sony TV has many HDMI and analog inputs so, I have no problem attaching several device at one time. The Onkyo looks very good and sounds even better!

Any HDMI equipped receiver that has HDMI pass thru won't "undo" the Oppo video processing. I have an Onkyo receiver and am very happy with it.

Short answer: NoLong answer:Because this cable does not actually convert the signal from analog to digital, if you did hook up your box with this cable to the TV the signal received by the TV in the HDMI port it wouldn't understand, and would not display anything. (The output of your box being RCA outputs an analog signal, while HDMI is a digital signal.) Hope this helps.

Unfortunately the hdmi issues still plague Onkyo and as a result I cannot recommend this processor, it is,also quite outdated at this stage , look at the Marantz AV8801 or the Yamaha CX-A5000 which are both superior units with excellent reliability and warranty.

Yes, that ought to work.Onkyo envisions you using this box as your main "switch" between components (in other words, no need for the TV remote to switch between inputs). For me, that means running component video connections into the receiver and then out through the TV. Too many cables! Maybe when I get Blu-Ray...

If you want picture and sound with the receiver or the 607 turned off, you'll have to connect your source to the television and not use the receiver. HDMI pass through merely implies that the receiver does no processing of it's own on the signal, essentially acting as an HDMI switch. However, the vast majority of receivers must be powered in order to allow the digital signal through

You can't those two over coax or optical. HDMI definitely and most likely 5.1 analog

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 asked Sonos support a somewhat similar question regarding using their DAC. If you don't care for the DAC in the Connect, you can always use the digital optical out on it (this bypasses its own internal DAC) and send it to whatever DAC you'd like for the conversion. Basically, as long as you aren't using any analog connection out, it stays digital and you can do whatever you'd like with it.

Thanks P. Seto, I think I will try the same. However, I Checked out the Onkyo 605 at my local Best Buy ($499), but on Amazon ($408), and it looks like it could do some serious damage. My only gripe is that it only has 2 hdmi inputs. I may want to add a PS3 at a later date, which would have my entertainment system running 3 hdmi cables. Is True HD and Dolby Digital plus a huge difference with the onkyo receiver capable of this type of audio?

I used mine to split the signal from the subwoofer in the 7.1 receiver to made a 7.2 surround sound receiver and it work just perfect, but I'm not sure if you can split a digital output into analog signal.sorry that I could not be more helpful. Good luck.

NOTE: ZONE 2 is an ANALOG only source- With all of our products that have a Zone 2 or more features they use only analog connections (RED &WHITE) so you need to hook up an analog connection from the source into the back of the receiver into the input that you are using. The digital connection will remain in the main room and the analog will be redirected to Zone2 or the other Zone outputs. So basically- any input connected to the receiver already using HDMI will also need a RCA Composite audio (red and white) cables into the SAME input (i.e HDMI&gt; CBL/ SAT and RCA AUDIO cables&gt; CBL/SAT). Now when you press the specific input for ZONE 2- the analog audio source will broadcast the audio and the digital audio will be broadcasted into the main room.

I doubt it. The information says it has an analog pass through, not digital.
