Does this receiver support HDMI-CEC through the HDMI pass throughs?

Not quite sure what you are asking but don't bother with this system. Remote does not work well. the system shuts down after a certain amount of time and you have to reset. I guess you get what you pay for

NO. Look for something else. Unit cuts out all the time. Anytime sound gets low for even 1 second it cuts out, and you have to turn it off and back on. Over and over.

I don't believe CEC is supported but I never tried to use it as my TV does not support it. And regarding Dave K, for a beginner system this is fine. To be honest, I'd buy another one if I had the funds. I had to sell mine due to money issues but it was a great starter sound system for me.

Hello Steven; this receiver only supports 4k upscaling- not 4k Utlra HD passthrough. Please check soon for our new 2014 product lines for this feature.

No, There are currently no Sony recievers on the market that support HDCP 2.2. There is an Onkyo, but even it only has 1 port dedicated to it. The STR-ZA1000ES will support HDCP 2.2 but it is not available yet. Luckly right now there isn't very much content that supports HDCP 2.2. but it will become a problem later if you trying to future proof your system. They will be able to update the HDMI firmware but the hdcp is not backwards compatible due that the current hardware was not designed for it yet. Honestly, I would wait. They starting to roll out HDCP 2.2 Receivers soon, beats worrying about it later. Hope that helps.

Probably yes, I use an old "URC" universal remote to control both the (remote) HDMI source as well as the (local) HDMI receiver, just works.

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.

While this is a feature of the newer HDMI standard, few (if any) models (TVs/Blu-ray/receivers/etc) out there support this.

yes. the reply from oscar was not helpful. there are many receivers that carry the hdmi logo that only carry the hd video and will not carry the audio, forcing you to use a left-right analog sound and having the rec recode the 2 channels into 7&1 or whatever it can handle out, which is compressed and then reseperated, rather than hd audio which is digital and carries more than 7&1 channels in an uncompressed (read: better) format for a more articulate soundscape.

So far in my experience with this receiver the volume does not display onscreen when passing-through HDMI signals. However, it will display if you are upconverting component and composite to HDMI signals. Hope this helps.

Mine did not & it was not compatible with my hd receiver either. But it works great just not in hd.

It does support it..I use it with my Home theater set-up."Remember, in order to take advantage of Audio Return Channel both your TV and Home Theater Receiver must be equipped with HDMI 1.4 and the TV and Home Theater Receiver manufacturer has included the Audio Return Channel as an option within their implementation of HDMI 1.4."

This is a HD receiver that supports direct TV. I ordered through Amazon because it was much cheaper.

The HDMI pass through function is designed to allow you to send an HDMI signal to a TV with the receiver in standby mode. As far as input lag using HDMI, in general you should not experience these issues when using this receiver with a video game system.

Why would you think for a second that this receiver has HDMI inputs? It doesn't say that it does anywhere in the description and the rear panel pictures do not show HDMI inputs. Be angry it doesn't toast your bread, it doesn't claim to either.

I have not had any HDMI issues with this receiver that was purchased in early December. I have read about some people who have had some issues when using the CEC/HDMI control feature.

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

It likely has nothing to do with the receiver. You may need to go to the cable/satellite receiver settings and change it to HDMI output.

PamRosa, We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option. --Mr. S
