This question seems to be answered in another discussion, and the answer seems to be that you will have to run component and composite outs to the TV separately.

depends on receivers output capabilities. some allow multiple simultaneousoutput

Yes you can. This TV has two HDMI inputs plus a shared component/composite input. The HDMI is best if your DVD player has an HDMI output. If the player only has composite and component, then the component output would be the next best choice. The component/composite shared input allows for either a component or composite connection, but not both at the same time. If you are using composite, plug the cable into the green input.

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.

Is it possible to pass through component video such as a Wii to HDMI on this unit. I know the VSX-919AH-K can do it. I would put these 2 in the same class. I just need a pass through from Component to HDMI, do not need the up-conversion. I really like the Onkyos ability to regulate sound such as TV commercials to normal levels, I really really hate this when watching TV. I have 2 old Kenwood THX receivers that cant do anything about it and only support Component video.

I used my unit to connect a WII to a TV. The Wii has rca outputs(red, white, and yellow) The Tv only has hdmi inputs. This unit works very well for me. It translates the picture and sound to the TV. Hope this helps.

You can't connect to this monitor with those kinds of signal ports. The monitor only has one analog input ("VGA") and the other is the high-performance input, direct digital ("HDMI").You have:Line out video (this is called "composite video")S-video out (step above composite)Component video out (this is Red, blue, & green with sync, better than S-video).If you wish to use a PC LCD monitor for general purpose video then you'll have to spend the extra money to get one with the composite and/or component video inputs. I know one 23.6" (or is it 24"?) LG model handles this, near $300. You can't connect to this monitor with those kinds of signal ports.

I'm not sure I understand your question. As a user all you have to do is attach a component cable between this device and the device you want to be HDMI, attach a sound cable between this device and the device you want to be HDMI, attach an HDMI cable between this device and your TV, attach the transformer for this device to this device and an outlet. If you're asking what method they use for up conversion, I don't think this device does any up conversion. Also, as I stated in my review, this device will not let you watch any disc that has copyright protection, even though you're a licensed user. It made the device useless to me, so I no longer use it.

Hey my Friend, Thanks for your imput. Just want to get a clear understanding about HDMI and Composite connection differences. My HDTV is 3 years old with composite only connection. Will HD DVD give me 1080i reception capabilty. I now have the Dish 622 reciever and get HD quality no problem. Simply put does the Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD player have composite connections along with HDMI. Hope I've made myself clear enough. Thanks Much ... RD

I'm afraid I am also stumped getting a signal to the TV. Currently I'm settling for VGA and audio to the high definition TV. The definition on more recent videos is quite good with this hookup. From the information from my graphics card coupled with the TV manual, the hookup is not simple. Sorry.

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.

Does the HDMI up-conversion only convert signals that are not connected via HDMI cables?In other words, when I connect my cable box to the receiver via HDMI port, and from the receiver to the TV via HDMI port, will the receiver up-convert the non-HD cable channels?

Do you have component put to your TV? If you have something connected to the receiver using component cables you have to have component cables ran to the TV from the receiver also otherwise you won't have picture just sound

You want an HDMI switch, not this item. This is the opposite of what you want. You want 4 in, 1 out. This item is 1 in 4 out (duplicate displays). It seems your receiver does not have enough inputs and thus one will need to be shared. This is not ideal for a few reasons, but should work just fine. Doing things this way will make it so that you cannot label your receiver input because it represents multiple things. Also, using a switch will probably add a remote to your collection. On the bright side, a switch will be much cheaper than a new receiver. I have not used a switch before so good luck, try this search: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=HDMI+switch You want an HDMI switch, not this item.

Best I can say is that it did not work as a composite for me but if you have something that can convert analog to digital then this may? bridge the link. I had to buy a HDMI to RCA composite from another seller to get my old tube Tv to work with my new blueray player. It costs about $33 and looks like a little white box. I hope this helped?

Depending on the type of hook up you are going to use, I think you would be ok with this unit. I bought mine as a gift for someone else so I don't really remember if it uses the component/composite system or the HDMI setup I would double check that before you buy.

I connect the HDMI output on my computer to the J-Tech and send one output to my receiver and the other to my TV. Works for me. Switch back and forth generally w/o any problems. Very rarely I have to reset the switch by just unplugging and replugging the HDMI cord from my computer. The HDMI output on my computer does not transmit sound, so I can't comment on this aspect. I use the computers' coax and optical outputs for audio.

You need composite out of the box to composite in on the TV if you have a composite device on the switch. If you have a mix of component and composite items plugged intot he box it'll get really hairy in terms of cable routing.
