Does anyone know if this be used to connect a 2013 Samsung SmartTV with HDMI to an older receiver that does not have HDMI. My older Yamaha receiver only has Component (RGB) Video Out as well as Digital Coax and optical digital Audio out? Thank you.

Yes. If you are trying to send a signal from you receiver to your samsung then yes it takes rgb (plus digital audio) out from the receiver converts it to hdmi and sends to your tv.

Ours is a Samsung smart TV and I couldn't get it to work. At all. It wouldn't connect.

Has anyone tried an HDMI connection from a computer into his receiver? I'm considering hooking up a Mac Mini to it and using media server software to send it audio and video.

Airplay on this receiver is only for audio, not video. The receiver does not bring a wifi adapter. I plugged it in via ethernet and that's how I have it set up for AirPlay. This receiver is not Bluetooth enabled, the dongle Yamaha sells is only to receive a Bluetooth signal and outputs it as digital via coaxial, the receiver remains agnostic as far as what the dongle receives, it cannot display any information showing on your Airplay enabled device. For a Bluetooth enabled Yamaha receiver you'd have to look at the RX-777 which is twice as expensive as this one.

I'm searching all over the net for an answer to the same question. Just got this receiver yesterday and it works great! I submitted an inquiry with Yamaha Customer Support. Doesn't look like it is supported but I'll post back here when I get a response from them.

I have a WDTV PLAY (no smart tv), so I connect the hdmi to the TV por the best picture, and then I connect the optical to the home theater for the best audio, it works perfect, hope my experience helps.

Hi, connecting this to a Sony Receiver and then to a Samsung TV will not work since this Sony 4K Media Player FMP-X1 works only on compatible Sony Bravia 4K TV. Passing through 4K is not supported. -Ely

It likely has nothing to do with the receiver. You may need to go to the cable/satellite receiver settings and change it to HDMI output.

I don't have a home theater receiver but I suspect it needs a direct connection to the HDMI port on the TV unless there is a pass through function on the receiver. Try asking a question about hooking HDMI to the receiver you have for a better answer. Good luck!

I just did that very thing. My Samsung Home Theater is also HDMI 1.4 ready so I hooked it up with just the main output from the Panasonic and everything worked just fine, but I keep reading that it's still better to use two cables with the video turned off the (Sub) output. My TV is a LG 3D LED Smarty but it has only one HDMIARC input so I naturally I put the main Panasonics output there. I put the out put from my A/V machine to the HDMI2 hole. That should do it. I haven't tried it yet. I have a brand new copy of "Johnny Depp's Alice in wonderland". I'll let you know how it works.

In order for my setup to work correctly I have to use both the HDMI and the optical out on my Apple TV. My receiver is a 2001 Integra DTR6.2 which was made before HDMI existed so I run my HDMI into this switch and out to the TV. I then run the optical output from each device into this optical switch - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C15798/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This works for me. I'm not sure if I answered your question. However one thing that I can tell you is tht this switch will not separate the audio from the video, which is why I needed the seperate optical switch.

You may want to have all of your video/audio inputs go to the Yamaha RX-V477 first rather than to the TV. This will bypass any incompatibly that your TV will have. If your TV has HDMI inputs this will work very well. I don't know what your setup so it is possible that this will not work for you. I had an earlier model Yamaha that had trouble with analog inputs mixed with digital. Since I went all digital I haven't been able to test the Yamaha RX-V477 with a mix. If you get your TV over the air then this may not work for you but if you use cable or satellite, it should work quite well.

This receiver only offers the additional HDMI for video. You would still have to connect through analog for audio. So it isnt any better. The TX-576 offers the proper use of video and audio for hdmi according to the owners manual.

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

That would work for sure. If you can use a Toslink cable that would be better (AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable). Look on your receiver/tv for a square connection, it usually has a blank piece of plastic in it to keep it clean. This would provide and optical audio connection.

I assume you have a "smart" TV and are obtaining the content from the internet directly to the TV. If so, you have to select TV/CD as the source on the receiver. Also, you have to have either a digital sound return via HDMI from the TV back to the receiver or you have to use a digital optical cable. Which one you use depends on what the TV supports, really. I had to use the optical cable with my Samsung EH5300.

Yes. I'm assuming you're running everything through the yamaha. So just take the hdmi output from the yamaha into the Sony input then connect the Sony output to the tv. The only problem I've had is that the wireless frequencies that the Sony uses interfere with other wireless devices trying to stream content. I assume this is because it's for a Japan market and they don't have to follow the same rf restrictions that us wireless devices have to
