If I have HDMI inputs & output connected, will the video & audio pass through the receiver when it's off or do I have to have it turned on? Thanks..

"Standby pass-through of Audio & Video""Conveniently access all your HDMI connected devices without having to power on the receiver". Hope that answers your question my friend.

There's a setting to enable pass through. I've never tried it with audio, but frequently I miss turning it on and will get the video without the speakers.

Your HDMI video and audio signals will pass through the receiver when it is "off". The receiver does not have to be "on".

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

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

If I recall correctly, HDMI1 is for Blue-Ray; so I used HDMI for my HD from cable box into receiver. Use the pass-thru out from receiver to TV. That way, you can still watch TV with receiver off.

I think it's a good question. Yes, the receiver has to be turned on and you have to have the correct input selected. After all, the receiver does a LOT of processing (switching, upconverting) between its inputs and its outputs. It seems unimaginable that there could be a direct link between one of the four HDMI inputs and the HDMI output when the receiver is off. (Sorry!) But I haven't actually tried it, so I'm only giving you an educated guess here (but I'd give 100-to-1 odds on it!).

It is able to send audio and video via HDMI. I have not tried specifically feeding this to a receiver but don't see any reason why it would not pass through a multi channel signal

yes hdmi is for both video and audio signal. make sure the receiver is set to the right input.

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.

You need to hook an optical cable from the receiver to the TV. Then your Wii, Cable box, or any audio that runs through the TV will also run through the receiver. The HDMI is input only, not output for audio. Good Luck.

Good Question! And one I didn't consider when purchasing this unit. The answer is: Apparently not. After getting your question I tried to see if my DVD would play through the Yamaha RX-V371 (with it off, or to say - in standby) to my HDTV. So the receiver does not appear have the pass-through feature. Turning on the receiver yielded both audio & video to my HDTV. Be advised that both the Yamaha unit and my HDTV are circa 2010, have been classified as "discontinued," and probably a feature (as well as others) no one thought about at the time. Note that I use HDMI cables between the Blu-ray player, to the receiver and to the HDTV (as well as an audio optical cable from the HDTV to the receiver). Because of the two-year span of advanced technical features, these units may not have all the features that have occured during that time. But if you can deal with the lack of the stand-by feature, the receiver is a good one otherwise, and at a good price. You might also pose your question to Yamaha (http://usa.yamaha.com)

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.

Hello Emily, as soon as the HDMI cable is connected from the PC to the HDMI/SDI adaptor, the status LED shall turn on and stay "On" until you disconnect the video source (In this case the PC), if it is connected to the PC, but the PC is not sendig the video signal out, then the status LED will turn "Off". I hope this helps.

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.

The idea is that the receiver then controls everything. So when you switch inputs on the receiver, it then switches both audio and video. Otherwise you'd have to switch the receiver input, and then go switch the TV input. Of course, this only applies if you have more than one video source (eg: blu Ray player and Xbox and cable box or DVR). It really is ultra useful and only adds one HDMI cable. HOWEVER: do not buy this specific receiver. It does not handle HDMI switching well (only passes through video does not capture audio), plus the sound quality is horrible. Get a more modern and high quality one, such as a Yamaha or Denon.

If optical is not working, HDMI pass throught will help for both video and audio. Also make sure the input for the optical on the receiver is setup correctly, on the back it will have TV or GAME as input for optical. Make sure the input is setup for either, and may have to cycle the inputs to make sure you have the right one.

Dear Tim:On my TV, I have to watch with the receiver on all the time - thus, through the surround system. I am not sure if getting an additional HDMI cable will allow you to watch TV normally without the receiver on. But the way I have mine set up I have to have the receiver on to watch TV.
