Are the HDMI inputs strictly passthroughs or will the receiver handle the audio and pass the video along?

The receiver does handle audio from HDMI sources. There is no need for optical or coaxial digital connections to get audio from HDMI sources.

yes, hdmi cables pass video signals as well as audio signals, on the control panel on your pc make sure the audio is set to HDMI.

If you are trying to get only audio to your receiver and the video to your TV or monitor, then this will get it to your receiver's RCA-audio input jacks. This will not give you video out to your receiver.

I've only had mine for 3 days, but I seem to have some kind of Stand-by audio passthrough. I read a couple of user reports that said the same thing, or showed various workarounds. I have a new Panasonic 50" 3D plasma that is connected to the AVX-920-K with new high speed HDMI cable (it's the ONLY connection to the 920-K), and with the A/V receiver turned completely off (Standby), I still have audio through my integral TV speakers, the volume of which can be adjusted with the TV remote. This allows for use of the TV for mundane things like the news and weather without having to fire up the receiver. For BluRay, movies, music, etc, I can fire up the receiver, and if the TV is running, audio switches to Surround sound in one of the Stereo modes, and volume control is thru the receiver. I took my time in setting up the receiver when it finally came (several blizzards in the midwest and New England delayed it enroute), and I read the manual thoroughly, including the numerous footnotes seemingly at the bottom of most pages. I don't know how I arrived at having Standby audio pass-through---I just followed the instructions in the manual during set-up, and everything is high-speed HDMI cables with ethernet except the Wii, which is composite, but is also plugged into the receiver now, and works fine. I'm very happy with the whole shebang now, so I'm not gonna change any of it.

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).

According to the manual it does have pass-through, and I have seen the setting in the setup. I haven't tried it myself since I always use the receiver's speaker. I can say it's not enabled by default because I did try that. You can also select if you want it to cascade the off signal to other devices (for example, shut of the Blu-ray player when I shut off the receiver in that mode) It also requires the other device to be compatible with this.

actually it will pass through video but not audio when powered off (at least for my experience/TV) if you turn off hdmi p.save (power saving) in the menu. I do this when playing my PS3 with my headphones connected to the secondary audio/RCA output of the PS3 with an adapter on the PS3 since the HTSS360 has no headphone jack. To do this however you have to enable multiple audio out in your PS3 settings, and remember to turn that off if you want 7.1 sound for blu ray since for some reason enabling multiple audio out for PS3 cuts down LPCM to 5.1 instead of 7.1 with it off. As for TV audio if you use a cable box I'm not sure you can that way, unless you plug a second audio cable from cablebox to one of your TV's inputs and then in audio settings in your TV can set that input as TV audio. Mine has the ability for that but it's not a Sony TV which I'm unfamiliar with.

yes, if you come out of the receiver with hdmi into the unit (you must set your receiver to pass the audio to the TV under the hdmi settings) then it will give you an analog stream for your TV ears. If your receiver cannot output the hdmi audio along with the video, then you can insert it between the source you want and the receiver (the downside to this scenario is you only get the option of that one source, as opposed to all the sources connected to your receiver with the first option)

Hello, Yes there is. You have to go to the menu and go to the HDMI settings. There is a pass through option. I am not sitting in front of my equipment right now so I am going by memory but you will see it. Let me know if you need anymore help.

Does anyone know anything about the function of "upconvert" on this receiver? Will it upconvert any video inputs at all?

no, no audio will be passed through the hdmi cable, these are PASS THROUGH hdmi sources (video only - no sound, always NOTE the (pass through) notes in the product description, in PASS through... audio never works), you would need to connect audio to one of the other connections on the rear of the receiver

Not sure what "tricking" has to happen - the detective does an HDMI handshake with the receiver and remembers it. For me, I need this as my HTPC lost the handshake any time the receiver powered off or switched sources causing me to lose HDMI audio and reboot the HTPC. The detective does that job perfectly including sending 5.1 audio from the HTPC to the receiver over HDMI.

Assume you're asking about playing videos for a home theatre system. If so, the original PCM audio will be transmitted via the HDMI output to your receiver/decoder. So if the video contains encoded multi channel audio (e.g. 5.1/7.1 Dolby, DTS, etc.) then your receiver will decode it to the correct analog (speaker) outputs, assuming it contains the appropriate (Dolby, DTS, etc.) decoders.This will work regardless of the operating system you install on the PC (Windows, Linux, OsX) as long as the video player permits audio PCM pass thru, which I believe most do.

I have it connected to my receiver, and thence to my speakers. I can't say authoritatively, but it seems to me to send music to the receiver as well as an HDMI cable. But let me emphasize that if you walk in front of or obstruct the direct line of sight in any way, the sound will stutter and skip, whether it's music or TV/movie.

Any HDMI equipped receiver that has HDMI pass thru won't "undo" the Oppo video processing. I have an Onkyo receiver and am very happy with it.

Although I've never tested it, the 5 HDMI 1.3 Audio/Video Inputs are supposed to have 3D pass through (according to their owner's manual).

Right it works as a pass through so if you only have one hdmi on your TV this box will let you hook up 4 devices and then you can just switch back and forth with a push of a button you can also send audio out to a stereo threw the optical spdif.
