In order for an HDMI signal to pass through the E400 to the TV, must the E400 be powered on? Thanks Update: "With HDMI Standby Pass-through, you can enjoy a program from your cable or satellite tuner on your TV without the need to turn the AVR-E400 on, which is ideal for casual viewing of newscasts and other media for which sound quality is not crucial."

No it doesn't have to be turned on. I have only tried using the cable/satelite HDMI input and it does not have to be on for me to watch tv.

Yes. Set HDMI Control-&gt;On and Standby Through-&gt;On or Auto. It will then pass through both video and audio while in Standby mode. I have my RX-V577 unit set up this way. This is covered on page 83 of the owner's manual.

actually it will pass through video but not audio when powered off (at least for my experience/TV) if you turn off hdmi p.save (power saving) in the menu. I do this when playing my PS3 with my headphones connected to the secondary audio/RCA output of the PS3 with an adapter on the PS3 since the HTSS360 has no headphone jack. To do this however you have to enable multiple audio out in your PS3 settings, and remember to turn that off if you want 7.1 sound for blu ray since for some reason enabling multiple audio out for PS3 cuts down LPCM to 5.1 instead of 7.1 with it off. As for TV audio if you use a cable box I'm not sure you can that way, unless you plug a second audio cable from cablebox to one of your TV's inputs and then in audio settings in your TV can set that input as TV audio. Mine has the ability for that but it's not a Sony TV which I'm unfamiliar with.

The analog Co-axil port on my TV is not broken...the TV works just fine. I currently have an antenna and just need to boost the signal. The signal boost I purchased does not work, but is receiving power from the outlet, but the booster itself does not work. I know this because I tested the power cord send with the amplifier with a mutlimeter. I would prefer to have another amplifier sent, not an antenna and I do not want to convert to HDMI because my TV has no available HDMI ports left.

No--and when I tried hooking it up to my tv with the cable and the adapter I needed (to fit the particular port on my tv) I get a message that says I can't use it---have not yet worked out what is happening there, but have been using it with the included av cables just fine. I'll do that until I figure out what the problem is with hdmi on this television set....but at least you can get up and running until you get an hdmi cable.

The DN840 has 'pass through' allowing the HDMI signal from your Directv to go through the receiver to your tv without powering up the DN840. However, this only works if you powered down the DN840 with the Directv selected last. If you powered down the DN840 with, say, the Playstation selected last, then the pass through logic will be set to Playstation and not Directv. So then when your wife turns on the TV/Directv, she'll call to ask why the TV won't work. To get the DN840 to switch back to Directv 'pass through' you'll have to turn the receiver on, select Directv, then the receiver will send that signal to the TV. Yes, this is driving us nuts since we regularly switch between TV and Playstation.

There is a USB and a LAN port for input only. NO HDMI input. There IS an HDMI output port and component output as well as audio L/R output. So, no pass through. It will output audio on the HDMI cable though if you are playing a movie from the USB or from your LAN. Be warned though that this unit WILL pause if you are trying to play NETFLIX HDMI streaming video.

no, no audio will be passed through the hdmi cable, these are PASS THROUGH hdmi sources (video only - no sound, always NOTE the (pass through) notes in the product description, in PASS through... audio never works), you would need to connect audio to one of the other connections on the rear of the receiver

If you are using an HDMI cable from the TV output to the receiver you should have audio through the receiver. I assume that you have multiple inputs that are selected by the receiver and you have selected the input that is connected to the TV. I found that there are different audio configurations in the receiver that need to be selected also. The manual offers a lot of information but for me it's too difficult to understand. Try a different HDMI cable and/or input port to begin with.

This device always sends the input signal to both outputs - there is no switch involved. But I'm not sure why you care. If you're watching one TV the other TV is turned off so why does it matter that the HDMI signal is present at it's input? I use this spitter to sent the signal to a projector and to a TV. I never use both simultaneously. So what? Perhaps you can find a pure HDMI switch that uses no power at all and perhaps costs less money, but there will be some signal loss that may or may not affect picture quality.

Currently it does not act as a pure passthrough, and requires it to be on for the set-top-box signal to pass through. The request to be able to have the unit off and pass through the set-top-box signal has been made previously, and is definitely on the engineers list of customer requests.

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.

HDMI connections are actively switched in the unit when it's ON. There is no "standby" for these connections to pass through passively when the power is off.

Your TV probably has HDMI CEC enabled (control via HDMI) and it keeps "asking" your receiver to pay attention to it. I had a similar problem until I turned this "feature" off in my TV setup. Turning it off will disable the HDMI CEC pass through to your TV though (when the receiver is in standby/off mode), so if you want to use your TV speakers WITHOUT using the speakers connected to your receiver, you will have to leave the receiver powered on and change the HDMI audio parameter using the remote: receiver-&gt;audio parameter-&gt;HDMI - from AMP to THROUGH. I personally don't care if the receiver is on or off as long as I have the ability to either use my home theater speakers or just my TV speakers is it's late at night or kids are sleeping etc.

Yes. There is an option to not show any on-screen graphics (Rec, audio levels etc) via HDMI out. Though, if you do go into the menu, it does show up on screen.

I think Nelci is saying you should run hdmi from the cable box to your TV for every day audio and video use, but also run an optical cable from the cable box to the receiver so you get surround sound when you want to watch a movie or something. Just remember to mute your TV when you want surround sound. To address John's last question, in my experience you lose the 5.1 signal if you use the TV to pass an audio signal. At least it's that way on my Toshiba 65HM167. Its optical output only sends a 5.1 signal if you are using the internal tuner. It will pass 2 channel audio from any other source though.
