Can this unit act as a passthrough for video? For example, I want to pass video from my iPhone THROUGH this unit to the overhead DVD unit...possible?

You should be able to it looks like there is two video inputs and one output

I thought I seen a vid on youtube with a guy watching netflix on the unit. On an android phone though. I have an Iphone W/adapter and I cant get netflix to work. I believe it only will work if your videos or movies our downloaded through I tunes. I have a couple of music vids downloaded from I tunes and they play through the head unit.

I have not tried this but I will need to do so. My husband, a true genius which I can prove by the electronic devices he developed that are till being sold as top notch by well known companies (he's an EE out of Stanford at 17 years top of his class), is now incapacitated by a stroke... put 3 DVD's in the slot at once and now it doesn't send them out. So I don't know the answer!

Hi Tamara. No, only the main unit plays the DVD. The other one is basically a slave the runs off the video signal of the main unit (via a cable). The "slave" can't even power up unless the main unit is turned on as well.

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)

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

My husband has transferred DVDs to our iPhone and iPad. I don't know exactly how he did it, but it can be done. Maybe through a cloud? That would be my guess. Alright, he said he used some type of software.

I have not tried that. It is a DVD player so you don't really need to do that to view the DVD. I use it for recording off air and cable shows onto the hard drive. It works like a champ for that and I have been using it for the last year without a glitch. I am very happy with it. I have two of them in fact and they both work well for my purposes.

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.

I don't know for sure, but the system upgrade may have throuwn your settings off, including access to your device. Check your Settings -- not sure where -- and make sure your updated system is allowing outside devices. Hope this helps. Worked when I had trouble outputting my iPad video.

No I bought this for the same purpose and it doesn't do video... Only Audio... Swing by a local apple store and they'll give you exactly what you need... This is just a waste of time and money to be honest

I haven't use it that way. I've always used it with dvd or ipad when I also needed a picture. I would think that it would work for that. I'm not at my school now to try it ... off for the summer.

Yes, you do. It can act as a pass through but you need to change the feeds if you have 2 devices hooked up. I have Netflix and my DVD recorder hooked to it. I don't have enough hdmi connections on my TV so that's why I have the spliter.

No. The lightning connector does not have video out signal. That's why this product is being discontinued.

I have yes. Since it doesn't come with a power cord to supply power to it separately, it needs to run through the USB cord. Blu-ray discs require maximum write speed in order to encode (whether you're going directly from Adobe Encore or exporting a disc image file from Encore and burning in Disk Utility, I found it gives the same result).Running a brand new (at the time) 2013 iMac, I found that I was not able to reliably burn a Blu-ray disc with Encore or Disk Utility. I was able to burn DVD's. There is a slot on the back that looks like it can connect to 9 volt power of some kind, which might fix the problem, but I haven't been able to troubleshoot that far, unfortunately. I have yes.

I had no problem with transferring video. Sound came through fine.I went back and looked as I have only one video on my phone. I could not find the file on my laptop but it is in my Dropbox and it has sound. Tried to transfer again with cable and you are right, it had no sound. I cannot remember how I got it into my Dropbox.

Your better off using an audio-only line out from your headphone jack if just using it for music. This used to work with VUDU for watching it on my old crt tv, but now it only works with the movies I have on iTunes. Beware of Apple updates when using a working non-apple product!
