which model do I need? I am using it with a Roku 3, my TV has component input and one HDMI in. How do I get the audio input work - separate input?

You should not need this device. Just run an HDMI cable from roku to TV. HDMI carries both video and audio.

If you were misfortunate enough to have bought thr BTT195, simply route the HDMI output of your Roku to the input of the BTT. However - if you have not yet bought the BTT - run like a banshee. This was the single worst audio product I have ever owner - sent back after a month of trying to live with it. Life is too short. Get a Pioneer.

The Roku 3 uses an HDMI cable, sometimes included. Just plug into one of your TV's HDMI ports. Easy set up!

Quick answer: you have to have the HDMI Cable(recent version) that supports sound and follow the instruction in the manual. I just used the optic cable and hooked it directly to TV optic. That was the most simple and it plays sound with everything else I have hooked up to TV without having to select each input port. Hopefully you have the optic port on your TV :-)P.S. Even though this sound bar description does not say it comes with the optic cable, mine had one taped to the styrofoam inside the box, so look carefully.

You connect it by using and hdmi cable (best option) or a optical audio cable from your TV. If you use and HDMI cable make sure your TV has an output labeled ARS, that means that it can accept audio both ways

Yes this should work. The sound bar has 3 HDMI cable inputs and 1 HDMI output. Just hook the Rodu 3 dongle and your Apple TV to the input HDMI on the Sound Bar and then the HDMI output on the sound bar to the HDMI input on your TV. As long as your TV has HDMI this should work. The only thing that I am not sure of is the Roku 3. It doesn't use an HDMI cable but a dongle that it transmits to. It should work but I don't know for sure.

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

With an HDMI connection, you should not need a separate audio connect. Unless I'm mistaken, you should have HDMI on both units.

From what it looks like, you are correct in thinking that you will have to select the mode, then the input. The HDMI 1 and 2 ports share a mode with ports 1 and 2 of the component ports. So if you went to Video 1, i would hazard a guess that it defaults to HDMI, and to switch it to component you would have to change it to component. This to me seems like an extra unnecessary step.If anyone has this receiver and cares to prove me wrong, please let me know, because if it doesn't take the extra step, I might actually want to purchase this.

You must go through the Denon in order for it to recognize the Roku. If you want to attach it to the Television, then you will need to connect the audio out leads from the television to the Denon and just turn down the volume on the TV when you switch to the input that you have used. It is much easier to just connect the Roku to the Denon and leave the TV functioning as a monitor. Good Luck

It requires a specific type of port on your tv. Not an hdmi port!. I have an insignia tv, the box recommended this streaming stick specifically. I use the tv remote with, works great- I love it! But if you are not sure if you tv has this port- I would go with the roku box.

Your question needs more specific details. this is an hdmi splitter it will automatically switch to the active hdmi source. So for example your roku, bluray player and cable box can plug into this and then this can go into your TV. if you have a sound bar you should be connecting it with an optical cable or analog audio cable. i recommend the optical. As far as connections you can hook up the bar to your cable box directly or to the tv directly. it would be helpful if we knew what devices and tv u had how many hdmi ports as well as what your over all goal for connectivity is.

Sorry, no idea. I am connecting to a Rasberry Pi which only outputs HDMI. I use this to strip the sound off of the Rasberry Pi that has the Squeezeplug software installed. If the Roku ouputs HDMI and you only need sound which you want to use as input into receiver as analog, then it will likely work.

Jim, i have this unit and hdmi is finicky so i couldn't get it to work. So no big loss. Instead, use fiber optic audio output of tv to feed optical input of soundbar and all will be good. Regards, Greg

Thanks for the response A.L. I originally had everything hooked up with HDMI -- both my HD-DVR cable box and my upconvert DVD player. My first thought was maybe it was the cables themselves, as I bought less expensive ones off Amazon. Tonight I went out and bought top of the line HDMI cables from Best Buy. Same problem! Then I figured I'd take the HDMI cables out of the equation and test my iPod using the auxiliary RCA jack on the front of the receiver. Same problem!I'm positive the speakers are connected correctly and completely. And these are also brand new -- the Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1ch home theater set!I think I have a bum receiver. I listen to my morning TV at level 60. That just doesn't seem right. Thanks for the response A.L.

I have to agree with you. I have a playstation 3 and a media extender for streaming vids/TV from my computer. That uses up all my HDMI inputs on the Yamaha. So what happens when I get a new device?? Yeah, I'm not really future proofed at all. I'd like to see 4 HDMI inputs.

SURE. Do not use the HDMI output. Buy two RCA Y-Adapters such as Amazon listing "Tsunami RCA701-Y1 RCA 1/Female to 2/Male Y Connector Cable (6 Inch, Gray)" for less than $3 each. Buy 1 Dual RCA Female to male extension cable such as Amazon listing "Cblwhl 2 RCA Male / 2 RCA Female, Cable Extension 12 ft" for under $6. Both are Amazon Prime items so if you are a Prime member they will ship free. So the cables will be about $12. Connect both the red and white RCA plugs from the ROKU cable to the female jack on the 2 Y-adapters. Now each audio cable terminates in two male RCA plugs. Plug one of the RCA plugs from each adapter into the color corresponding red and white jack on the TV input. You now have one terminal remaining on each Y-Cable. Connect the extension cable to the remaining available color corresponding plugs on the Y-adapter and then connect to the audio amplifier/receiver aux/tape inputs, again of the corresponding color. You will now have the audio fed to both the TV and the amp/receiver. With TV turned on. but with the TV volume all the way down you can setup the Pandora to run and get the levels correct through the audio system. Then turn the TV off and the audio will continue to be fed to the audio amp/receiver. You can then also use the tv speakers like a center channel with the amp/receiver adding extra range when watching TV. If you used an HDMI cable, the Roku might go into standby when you turned off the TV. I'm not sure whether or not it would. The ROKU may eventually go into standby anyway even when connected using the component video cables. However this will work until it goes into standby. You probably should turn off or disable the screen saver feature in the ROKU settings also.
