With only 2 HDMI will i be able to attach the TV Cable, a blu-ray with Internet and a Yamaha YHT-497 5.1-Channel Home Theater System?

It has a digital OPTICAL out that can be plugged into a 5.1 system that has an OPTICAL input.

That depends on what you use to hook up your surround sound. If you use optical out (which you should) then you will be fine. I have my DVR and Xbox One hooked up with hdmi and my 5.1 surround with optical out and all is well.

That's probably not going to work since there is only one output source for the speakers - and those are for the speaker wires. the coax, component video, and optical cable are all inputs, only one hdmi output to connnect to your tv, the rest of the hdmi are all input from your other devices as well. do some search you may find a coax output for speakers, but it may be difficult because a lot of newer receivers are either hdmi, optical, component video and even bluetooth.

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

At least a 2.3 duo (2) processors an HDMI ,I would buy this if I were you and everything works

There are only 2 inputs. 1 standard audio L/R jacks and one digital audio. No HDMI. You need to plug everything into your tv and use the tv audio out to the speaker bar. Which really is the best way anyways. And then it does have Bluetooth so anything with Bluetooth will connect as well.

I connected a new blue-ray player to and old TV that only had component conections and it worked fine. Beware sound requires a separate cable

Yes you can connect this system to a Blu Ray player, or anything that takes AV cables. (Red, white, yellow) That includes televisions, all game systems, cable boxes etc...

There are definitely more qualified responders than me, but there is both HDMI and AV "out" so I would say, "probably" you could do as you suggested. You might want to submit your question to Astak and see if they respond? - www.astak.com or e-mail to support@astak.com -

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

Yes, 1 HDMI & 1 optical, I looked. Internet content like Netflix & Sony rentals will play in Surround Sound, if the program was recorded in surround sound. It still plays otherwise, but you don't hear the speaker effects and not as loud.

Yes, shouldn't be a problem. This is what I bought for the same purpose. Although we really should upgrade so we can use the HDMI-HDMI cables.

I don't think that should be a problem, but it might be kinda tight. FYI, there are newer HDMI cables out there that are significantly thinner than standard cables that would make things easier. Also, you mention speaker wires which leads me to believe that you are using a receiver with your set-up. If so, and if it does HDMI switching, you can eliminate all but one HDMI cable going to you TV.

Should be fine, I have a directv box, Xbox, hone theatre pc, and Pioneer elite blue ray to 3 tv's and works great. Only prob I am having right now is I have 50' hdmi cables and the 4x4 matrix doesn't have enough power to push the signal that far so sometimes I don't have sound or it's purple or red, if I turn on the tv and then the device seems to work but I'm gonna add signal boosters to fix the problem.

Maybe you could enlighten me as to what is wrong with my current plan. Get a blue-ray player which features onboard decoding of the lossless formats as well as component analog outputs. Connect the analog outputs to a non HDMI receiver/amplifier and the HDMI output of the blu-ray player directly to the TV. With cheaper full featured blu-ray players, (eg, Vizio for $200) announced at the CES, coming out in the next few months, this may be the low cost way to go. Except for using less cables, what is the advantage in going all HDMI?

Well the ? I have is do you have a hdmi ready cable box ? If so you have the hdmi cable go from the cable box to the hdmi "out" on the receiver and then you will need another hdmi cable to come from the hdmi IN 3 (cab/sat) and plug that into the back of the tv. It is all done with hdmi cables. This is also the only way to get the set up menu to be viewed on your tv also. This is a great receiver so I hope it works out for you. I have had it for a week and it is so much better then my last 2 onkyo's !

This blu-ray player has just 1 HDMI Input, and 1 HDMI output, I have uploaded some pictures of the backside of the player for you to look at. you may need a HDMI switcher...

Yes, in this case, your TV output is the weakest link and is down-converting all of your content to 2.1. In order to get true 5.1, you'll need to connect each of your devices separately. I ran into this exact problem :(.
