If I connect a Roku 3 to receiver &amp; receiver to TV via HDMI, will the receiver pass audio &amp; video to the TV with the receiver off?

Yes, you can choose one of the inputs as a pass through. It will work while the receiver is off.

This device seems to work one way without seeing interference or other artifacts in the video. If you have a SVHS input on your ROKU and you are coming from the output of a composite device, you may see bars or inteference. So it has to come from an output SVHS to an input composite to work without problems

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. Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up.

Roku 3 has some sort of security protection for the movie industry which doesn't allow conversion to component or composite video elements. The sound will be fine but no picture. To prove this get some other HDMI source (like a DVD player) and feed via the converter into your TV and you will see it works.

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

media hdmi link. It powers the rokustick. All the other hdmi ports do not provide power so the rokustick wont work. Hope that helps you.

I believe you should connect your Roku directly to your TV. Then use your TV remote to switch to either HDMI 1, HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 (just depends on how many HDMI inputs you have on your TV).

If the televisions aren't too far apart you can split the signal coming out of the Roku and run it to two televisions but they would be showing the same thing. I have a friend that has an older model that has both HDMI and analog outputs, both of which are apparently hot. He has the HDMI output going to the television in the living room and ran a long analog cable to a television in the kitchen. If you are using a newer Roku with HDMI output only you could try an HDMI splitter but I'm not sure how well those work. I'm don't know how you could do it without running a physical cable to both televisions.

I think it does if you shut your TV off in with the Roku input on, but if you go back to TV input before you shut TV off it should not do that.

no you cannot, you can only control the receiver with the included remote. You would need a universal remote to control everything with one remote; however, there are no universal remotes at the moment that will control the Roku. . so even in your best case scenario you will need at least two because the Roku remote does not control volume at all. (I wish I had known this before I purchased everything for my new setup, seems to be a design fail)

Yes, in fact, for example I run my Xbox and PC to the HDMI-in ports and have one HDMI that goes to my TV from the receiver. If I want to hear one or the other, I have to have it selected on the receiver. The power to the receiver has to be on for anything to work (video or sound).

If your receiver passes-through the HDMI signal, then you don't need to turn the receiver on. Not all receivers do this, however. If yours does, just connect the various components to the switch's inputs, run the output to the receiver and from the receiver to the TV.

Yes, I do understand the concept. What I am saying is that, typically, older generation HDTVs will NOT be capable of splitting the HDMI audio through to the receiver. Instead, the receiver will be producing simulated surround sound. Yes, you will hear audio from all speakers, but no, it will not be true surround.

I use mine to switch between ROKU and DVD Player on my second HDMI input. It should work for you too. I have to mention that if I switch from DVD to ROKU directly, I have to turn off the TV for a few seconds for it to switch correctly. If I am watching TV and switch to ROKU it works perfectly. Due to having only one input you will either have to turn off Direct TV or TV before switching, for the switch to work automatically.

Im not familiar with Roku players but if you plug any 2 HDMI devices into the two inputs, this device will output the signal for whichever of the two devices you choose into two separate televisions. Both TVs will display only one splitter input at a time.

Take the HDMI out of the Roku to the input on the extractor. Then the HDMI output from the extractor to the TV or AV Receiver. Next choose analog or digital audio output from extractor and connect that output to the audio device. Depending on connections you may require extra cables such as HDMI, Toslink, Stereo RCA Audio.

Not at all, in fact, if your TV doesn't have a HDMI input, the Roku comes with a composite video cable. You plug the cable into the back of the Roku, and the other end has three plugs on it, a yellow, a red and a white that you plug into the matching colors on the back of your TV set.Hope this helps
