Will this work if 1 output is going to a 5:1 home theater system, the other directly to a 2CH HDTV and not step down audio for both?

I just purchased this splitter to do the same thing. If I go directly from the satellite box to the AVR 5.1 works fine. When I split the signal between the AVR and the TV, the signal to the AVR is now only stereo. Any suggestions?

I believe zone 2 will take any audio source from the receiver... However, HDMI Out 2 will only mirror what is on HDMI Out 1. It will not let you output two separate video streams. Hope that helps!

Yes this will work. I have 1 box, and 2 tvs One has a 3ft hdmi, and the other is 50ft as well.

If depends on a couple things. First, does your tv's optical audio output send out 5.1 or just 2 channel stereo? Some tv's mix the audio down to 2 channels. Also, do you have any other devices such a a blu ray player or gaming console hooked up to your tv? If so, it might be best to use your tv as the audio switcher so all your devices can benefit from the speakers.

Yes that will work. I now have my signal split 4 ways near the cable box and then 2 ways later in the house and the do not see degradation in the signal. I have both the 2-port and 4-port version of this product. I can watch 4 TVs all with the same picture. There may be slight delay in showing the picture as the HDMI synchronizes but once complete it works flawlessly.

If the output is stereo and the devices have a 3.5mm input and output port for sound then it should work.Mashmal stated the standard red and white stereo sound from a composite cable. While I do not disagree that if you have composite and not 3.5mm cables for the sound (which is likely in most home television setups) that a composite switch would work better, but I do disagree that you convert it to 3.5mm unless you just have to. Conversion can degrade sound quality. Also, if your conversion method is not the best quality you might see some bad results as well.

I'm can't answer that. I installed this because my older 5.1 surround sound system has only analog inputs - one for each speaker. Placing this between the dvd player (coaxial out) and the older 5.1 system did give me surround sound. However, it appears it is no longer working. Straight from China and built to last only so long.

I recommend you don't do this if the two inputs are used at the same time. This will cause a degradation of the sound from both of them due to patial signal cancellation. To do this, you need a combiner such as a Pro AV2. However, this device uses 1/4" inputs to a single 1/4" out but it properly combines the two signals. "Y" connectors such as the one you've asked about are designed as splitters; not combiners.

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

Sorry for not answering sooner. My TV has coaxial OUT and my sound system has digital IN. It won't work in your case. The reason I use this one is that TV has terrible sound and I get OTA programming; so I use my home theater to listen to the TVs sound.

Don't believe it will do what you want. This little box works great but the OUTPUT is HDMI.Sounds like you need the other direction INPUT HDMI and output RCA

Huntington Thomas Daly, The output will support 5.1 with only the digital TV tuner. For 5.1 audio, you'll want to connect a digital optical audio cable to the source box (Cable/Satellite box, game console, etc) and run that directly to the audio bar. Many audio bars (at least the bar+sub combo) support 2.1, and that would be supported with all devices from the TV. Your DTV tuner will be converted from 5.1 to stereo in that case. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

The splitter is certified HDMI 1.3 so in theory it should work since the splitter creates 2 identical simultaneous output signals from 1 input single.

No, probably not. The reason for 2 HDMI out is because some AVRs do not pass through 3D, so it is sometimes necessary to split the video and audio streams. If your AVR does not pass through 3D or is not HDMI 1.4 compatible, then you might need to send one HDMI output to your TV or projector and one to your AVR for sound. Otherwise, there is no need to split the video and audio streams.

Yes. There is a HDZONE setting that will output the same or different source from the primary source. It is a HDMI output. I have not tried to provide power to a second set of speakers from the receiver along with the HDZONE as I am just using a TV in the other room. This may be possible but I have nto had the need to try. I do use the line level outputs to a separate amp for ZONE 2 which we use for 10 sets of stereo built in speakers around the house. ZONE 2 and HDZONE share the second source so they are not independent.

If you have a receiver that is 5.2 or 7.2 you can run one RCA cable to the Red and one to the white for the 2 sub outputs. That's what I did.
