Does the component input on this receiver output to a TV via HDMI or do I need to output it using component cables?

There is only one out and its HDMI. So, yes, you can input with comp. and out with HDMI, but you may not get all the video upgrades this monitor offers. Amazing sound and pic. Personally I would HDMI all the way. Best of luck.

I have a new HDTV and it only has the optical output. We went from the cable box to the TV with HDMI, but I also want to connect to a home theater system. My receiver is an older one and does not have HDMI or optical. Can I just use the left- right audio outputs that are on the back of the cable box for the audio receiver as well as using the HDMI for the television??? Sal

HDMI takes precedence over component or RCA inputs. For example if you have HDMI input connected to VIDEO 2 and a component input connected to VIDEO 2 and both sources are turned on, the HDMI input will be output to the TV. Hope this helps.

HDMI input, and RCA output. But a word of caution, if you plan on using this 24/7 to convert and it's not kept in a cool environment, the unit will eventually go blank on the picture. I've since replaces this unit.Thanks.

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.

With this guy, you must switch inputs on TV, receiver doesn't convert component to HDMI signal. From receiver you will have 2 sets of wires to TV: HDMI for HDDVD

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

Can you hook this unit directly to an HDTV using an HDMI cable but with no receiver?

You can either use a hdmi cable or us a composite cable and connect only the audio signal from tv to receiver

An HDMI cable is the only thing needed. HDMI carries both the video and audio in one single cable. Getting the audio to a stereo receiver requires a separate audio cable (probably optical) that will go from your HDTV audio output to your stereo receiver. If your stereo receiver has HDMI pass-through, you might be able to have the DVD HDMI cable go straight to your receiver, but then you would need a second HDMI cable to go from your receiver to your HDTV, which is MUCH more expensive than an optical audio cable in the scenario I described above.

I guess that depends of your receiver this only transform your rca or component wii connection to hdmi with usually to 1080 but this is not true, bit works for me, because my tv didn't have rca or component only hdmi

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.

Component and HDMI are supposed to handle the same quality of signal. There are those who would debate the quality of component over HDMI but I have not been able to tell with my eyes any visible difference in picture quality. Sometimes cable length is an issue though, so be aware that a 15' cable or longer *might* degrade the signal quality. Hope that is helpful to you.

Yes the cable box normally has another output but typically only one hdmi. You can use the component outs (the red, green, blue).I have comcast hddvr and run the hdmi to my onkyo 805 for dvd, ps3, and other times I want big sound and video experience. I use the direct selection with the component into the hdtv for simplier viewing times.

Yes, you just need to hook up the Component inputs from the back of your receiver (or cable box) via a long cable to the projector. Use the VGA to Component adapter supplied. Problem is it is not easy to find a 20-30' Component cable - I had to have mine made up at Best Buy - then found one for special order on Radio Shack site for 1/2 what I paid - but you probably won't find any component cables in regular store over 12'. Mine works great. Since my Home Theatre has a built in DVD player, I don't use the optical audio out since I elect to play DVD's through the Home Theatre - which keeps wiring simplier (power cord and component cable)

That's exactly what I tried (except I think you meant HDMI output, not input). It didn't work at all for this particular converter. I'm going to try a more expensive converter that looks identical and supposedly does the same thing, but I haven't ordered it yet.

Yes, that is correct. You can't send the output over HDMI, only via the 5.1 analog outputs.
