Sorry, don't know. Bought the TV for my Father in law who is in an assisted living facility.

There's only one composite input on the back, and it claims to do component video, too. You should be fine.

Since I don't have a game console I don't know what connections are required. There are AV (Left & Right Audio, Video) connections which I used to connect a VCR. A very nice feature of this TV is it automatically switches from TV to Video when I turn on the VCR. No need to fumble with buttons on the Remote.

The TV has an HMDI output, so I was able to connect my Roku with an HDMI cable.

the Wii resolution is 480P and you cant change the resolution of the Wii only the tv aspect ratio. On the actual converter there is a little switch which you can change the resolution from 720p & 1080p. I basically plugged this converter in made sure the resolution setting was at 1080p, connected the hdmi cable to it and then to tv and that was it. It worked perfectly. Its may be possible that you recieved a faulty unit.

Yay for the info on the Wii having Netflix! Thanks for sharing. Now I can get this product knowing Netflix will soon be available to me in another way :) I'm excited based on the reviews of this. I previously tried a Samsung Blu-Ray and all I can say is I will never buy Samsung for anything ever again.

Well, you do have analog left and right channels coming from Wii (I mean, the sound has got to come from somewhere, right?), which you could plug into any vacancy you might have. Or, if you have one, run a digital line OUT of your TV to the receiver. This would work for everything you had hooked up to your TV already when you add the Onkyo receiver. If everything was digital, this would work fine. In my case, I had analog running from the DVD; now have coaxial running to the receiver to get Dolby Digital (left the component video cables hooked to the TV rather than buy another set). Netflix and Wii just announced that you will be able to stream movies in over your Wii wireless connection! You will receive a disc to insert into your console, and then... The Onkyo receiver does a decent job of faking a surround sound. I guess the day is coming for a new Wii console with digital sound.

I used my unit to connect a WII to a TV. The Wii has rca outputs(red, white, and yellow) The Tv only has hdmi inputs. This unit works very well for me. It translates the picture and sound to the TV. Hope this helps.

I have a sony bravia hi-def, an Xbox and a Wii I'd like to use these for... Do you know if I'd have to purchase any additional equipment/cables, etc? I'm trying to purchase for my boyfriend for Christmas and I'm totally clueless when it comes to electronics.

You must first plug the HDMI cable from the wii (adaptor) to your TV... Turn both the Wii and TV on.... Then through the wii settings you can change it to 1080p

Also another note... What I hate about this unit unlike the older 573, this won't even let 480p pass through let alone upscale. Took me forever to figure this out when my Wii set to progressive scan wouldn't show a picture. Same goes with GameCube when you say YES to progressive scan for a game. I do not understand why it can't at least allow pass through. The 573 would actually upscale! And the 575 would allow pass through. This is annoying for an original Xbox where some game support 480i,480p,720p and 1080i... I have to change the settings on the system all the freaking time. This seems like something that can be fixed on firmware update... Also another note... What I hate about this unit unlike the older 573, this won't even let 480p pass through let alone upscale.

My cable goes through the wall. I tried re-plugging it in, restarting it, using connections in other rooms, etc. I also use my Wii through the aux cords and occasionally I plug in my Wii U through the HDMI port. No matter what I was using, the screen was still messed up. I'm not sure if that's what you were trying to get at with your question? I hope I answered it fully though. =]

Yes, but am I able to do that with an hdmi cable? And so I ask again, does this have an hdmi output so that I can get hi def image on my tv when I hook this up? Yes or no?

I use component cables for my Wii. Its a slight upgrade from the regular av cables but my pictures looks pretty decent, maabe adjust your tv setting? I haven't gotten it yet, but I'm eyeing this as a solution http://www.microcenter.com/product/385577/Component_Video_and_Audio_to_HDMI_ConverterMy Wii looks ok as I stated, the reason I looked into the Portta was for my PS2, and it is the reason I'm going to get the SIIG. I know it is a bit pricey, but for me it will be worth it, instead of constantly switching cables in and out - keep in mind I have 3 HDMI ports and 2 HDMI splitters, bit I just have a lot of components and the SGIII would save me a headache anytime I wanna play with my PS2.

I would say Yes, if the game has those connections. The Red, Yellow, White video/audio connections. I can connect my Wii that way, but you have to play it on computer screen.

If you can run all the Wii inputs to the TV and then use optical out from the TV to the sound bar. This is how I have mine set up with satellite receiver, Toshiba DVD player/recorder and Amazon Fire TV box. I leave the sound bar input to TV, never have to switch it.

This TV has an antenna jack (can use RF adapters) as well as Component inputs which would allow you to connect your Wii and XBOX. If you have an XBOX 360, you can connect to the TV using Component as well as HDMI.

Anybody?....we have tried everything. There is supposed to be an option for av out in the quality video settings. However the options in quality are the same as in panel quality. Very dissapointed right now. How do I get them both to play video as well as hearing the movie?

This will work for a Wii, however, it does not upvert the image. It only makes the output from the Wii the same as the input of the TV; the resolution is still the same. I had to try a few different settings to get the best image possible.

Oh Gee...I am not a technology literate person. I know that all the cables hooked up just as they did on the old DVD party. If you need other connections, then no, there are no other hookups. Sorry I'm not more up on this stuff. Like I said before - it's really easy/simple! :)
