HDMI standby passthrough? Any one know if this unit has HDMI standby passthrough?

Yes, it does- I sometimes turn off the receiver for late-night viewing, and it passes audio and video, which allows me to watch TV using the TV speakers only.

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

HDMI connections are actively switched in the unit when it's ON. There is no "standby" for these connections to pass through passively when the power is off.

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)

Thanks BlueDemon.I have actually been following the thread on AVSForum since it began. While there are some reports of loose HDMI connectors, muting, etc; it really isn't much (actual content-wise vs. wishing/hoping-wise). Amazon had a yellow note on their HT-CT500 page for a while saying that no orders were being taken because of Amazon customer-reported issues. I was curious to see what the actual issues were (causing a suspension of sales), in case any of those customers returned here.Thanks~Bill

The instruction manual, which I viewed as a pdf on the Onkyo website is a little ambiguous when it comes to a pass-through signal, I know this unit is a repeater so direct pass-through is unlikely; there is an option to have the amp pass the sound to the TV and simply turn down the A/V amp volume; but the unit has to be on; I didn't see any mention of it working with the unit turned off. I can't tell you any more at this point as I haven't received the unit yet; should arrive tomorrow!

Having now received my A/V amp; I can tell you that the 3300 does pass the HDMI signal from the last source used while the amp was powered on; you'll have to turn the amp on and change source if you want a different source; then turn it back off.

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.

Yes. There is an option to not show any on-screen graphics (Rec, audio levels etc) via HDMI out. Though, if you do go into the menu, it does show up on screen.

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.

They did, I bought my 608 in October 2010 and a week later all HDMI inputs ceased to function. I don't know if I got a bad one before the issue was addressed or not but I read other posts elsewhere that they had the same problem I did. I returned mine.

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

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

Hi Gerard.I own one of those, and I'm pretty sure that the HDMI inputs don't flow to the HDMI output when the unit is off. Hope it helps.Andy

I had comcast and bluray player hooked to it but it wouldn't automatically switch even when I turned off the bluray player completely. Tried with cable box, it won't either but I think that was because the cable box is always on standby.

Yes, It can pass through HDMI with the unit completely turned off. There are indicator LEDs that come on when active in this mode. One thing to note is that you must pre-select the HDMI source to pass through. IE- it doesn't autoselect the source to pass through.
