HDMI Out carries everything? I'm new to AVRs (always just used audio-only receivers) and am curious whether the HDMI OUT on this thing (and similar models) will also carry the component inputs from the receiver to the TV.So basically, does EVERYTHING go from HDMI out to the TV, or would I need to hook up HDMI as well as component and composoite plugs to the TV?

Then this is false advertising, because this particualr unit says it has ARC (Audio Return Channel) which means that the TV can pass sound to the A/V unit, but the rest is as you say the other components will have to connect on their own.

ARC is not the same thing as Component to HDMI conversion. Most AVRs in this lower price range do not do Component to HDMI conversion. This Yamaha model does not claim to do it.

No, it does not. ): Component inputs HAS to be component out, and it is the same for everything else. HDMI out only works for HDMI inputs and so forth.

I saw a few Denon receivers featuring the ability to convert analogue signal types (like component and composite) up to digital, but that feature is the exception. The rule is, if the source uses a type of connection, that same type of connection has to go from the receiver to TV.FYI, ARC just deals with passing audio back from a TV to the receiver. If, for example, you have your cable TV hooked up directly to the TV, or you're using the TV's built in tuner, and sometimes you want to pipe the audio out to speakers, ARC allows the TV AUDIO to be output to the receiver.

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.

So far in my experience with this receiver the volume does not display onscreen when passing-through HDMI signals. However, it will display if you are upconverting component and composite to HDMI signals. Hope this helps.

The stand that comes with the camera has an HDMI mini output for viewing directly to your HDTV. However there is electrical connection needed (should come as well with the packaging and attaches to the stand) that will allow both AV out and HDTV out .

HDMI connection carry both the video and sound. Not being familiar with the advancement of audio receivers I can not say for certain that it will not work. Depending on the connections from your components that you have their may be a way to to do it. For me, I just connected it to the tv. Hope this helps.

You can plug either an auxiliary cable or a hdmi cable. Make sure the hdmi cable is rated the same ad you tv (ie 1080i) . There's no such thing as an aux and hdmi cable combo . There totally different hook ups. I love my receiver.

note it will output to HDMI *only* if there are no component cables plugged into RX-675 monitor output. When something is plugged in there, that will be the preferred video output for component input; it will not be sent to HDMI (thank you Amazon support for helping me with this!)

hi thank for the replyWhat I meant was this card specificallyBecause I currently have a card that does not pass audio via HDMI, only video.So I have the HDMI + an audio source connected to my TV right now.I just want to use the HDMI cable for both audio and video.I just wanted to be sure this card does indeed pass video as well as audio.Thanks

If your AVR is capable of LPCM/MPCM audio over HDMI then you will get the HD lossless audio.Set the PS3 to output Linear PCM over HDMI. It's the same HD hi-res audio just decoded at the player (PS3) instead of bitstreaming to the AVR for decoding.

The design is a loop through. You should have no problems running your SDI cable to the input and then continuing your signal from the out connector to other downstream devices that also need SDI. And you still get an HDMI output

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

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.

It hooks up very easily to the AV cables, or to the Audio (head phone jack) on TV, or receiver. My Wife's Aunt loves it, and was concerned that she wouldn't be able to connect it. It's great, and charges, if desired, from the base. The receiver should have a headphone/AV jack to connect to. You won't be disappointed, and can always return it. Just another thought, this item is discontinued by the manufactured, so any fixes are DIY or after market. Good Luck!

no problem. Just plug the AV out into the input device red, yellow, and white inputs. Haven't tried the component cable since I use HDMI. Don't know if component works or not.

You'll probably want to get a set-top box from your cable provider and then run HDMI from it (the box) to the receiver. If you'd rather not do that (and who wants another "rental" fee from the cable company?) then you'll have a few options, which I'll explain below... I'm not sure if this receiver does an "audio return channel" (ARC) over HDMI or not. ARC can bring audio from the cable (or other inputs) from the TV to the receiver over the HDMI cable. ARC is part of the HDMI 1.4 standard but I haven't read the manual for this product; not sure if it does it or not. If it does, you're golden. Just program the receiver to do it. Shouldn't take more than thirty seconds. If it doesn't support ARC, you'll need to leave the coaxial cable plugged into the TV and (in order of signal quality from best to worst) run an optical (Toslink) audio cable or an RCA digital "coaxial" audio cable or (*gasp*) an RCA ("red and white") analog cable from the TV to the receiver. The "coaxial" connector on the receiver refers to coaxial digital audio. It's likely that your TV will have a Toslink output on the back panel. That will give the highest quality signal. A 12-foot Belkin "Pure A/V" Toslink cable should cost less than $10 (plus shipping). Nearly every A/V cable I own was made by Belkin and I've had excellent results from them all. I hope this helps you to make sense of your connectivity problem. Best of luck!

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.

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.
