Can I use this as a receiver, taking HDMI input from another source and outputting through old fashioned speaker wires?

No, this Blu-ray player wasn't intended to be used as a receiver. But you can play music cd's through it if connected to a speaker system. You can use a powered speaker system with this unit that uses RCA Jacks if you wish. Or; like you said, connect your old speakers to this unit with some type of a HDMI converter to RCA Inputs. But you still would need some type of a power source for your speakers. There are no amps built into this unit. And you can also use it for internet music as I use mine for Pandora music. I hope this helps you out somewhat. Have a great holiday. :)

Hmm...not sure of I understand the question. If I do, the answer is no. The Panasonic has no speaker outputs at all. It is 100% Blu-ray player only.

Yes, but the output will always be a single HDMI cable and not RCA or Component outputs. Also, be aware that the sound quality isn't good on the analog side, too much humming.

Yes buy a receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. That way you can connect all your accessories (cable box, blu-ray player, game consoles, etc) directly to the receiver, which will be connected to the surround speakers.

No, you need to buy speaker wire and connect it to a receiver. Generally as part of a 5.1 surround sound system.

You cannot use this for that purpose; this is an "HDMI splitter", which was built to take one HDMI source and output that to a maximum of 4 HDTV's (like in a sports bar). Because what you want is surround sound from all three devices (and without knowing the type of receiver you have) your options are: - If your Receiver has only one or two HDMI inputs - you will need to add a "HDMI Switch", to accommodate all three devices. - If your Receiver has no HDMI inputs - it is better to get a new Receiver with atleast 3 HDMI inputs. - If your Receiver has three or more HDMI inputs - you are fine, just connect your devices to the Receiver. I hope this helps....

You sure can, or if you're not using a third or fourth channel on your receiver you can plug into that too. Hope this helps

Definitely. I currently have 3 hdmi and one set of speaker wires in mine. Just be aware it may be a tight fit. You shouldn't have a problem though.

Probably a stupid question, can this be used for audio signals? : ie. for wireless headphones?

You could, but there are no RCA inputs which is usually the most common connection on a home receiver. Other than having a connection type adapter you should be able to use it. Make sure and turn off the backlit logo as it might be a little bright in a theater room.

Yes you can, you just have to assign which source will come out from each hdmi output

If have HDMI coming out of your computer, I don't think this is what you want. This box takes Component Video (YPbPr) and Digital Audio (SPDIF) and converts it to an HDMI signal.

Yes you can. There's a "by-pass" audio option that allows the signal - including audio to go from the source (cable box/dish box), through the receiver, and to your TV (using HDMI cables). This works very well for me when I don't need the surround system on.

yes, but you have to run audio seperate. you can use VGA, HDMI and RCA inputs.

If your speaker connection on the receiver takes rca's, you can try it. in place of the center speaker. If it won't work it won't work.

I have surround sound and all audio including comes through my speakers by way of my receiver. Where or how would I hook these up?

Yes, converts HDMI signal to Component and you can use the audio output of choice from the cable box

I don't think so - it is intended to allow switching the output of various devices to a device input. If by receiver you mean cable or sat, you may not need this device. If you receiver has an HDMI out port - connect that to the HDMI on the TV and run the optical out from the TV to the sound-bar. The HDMI provides a better quality sound connection than optical anyway.
