Can I connect my digital TV which receives over-the-air ways signals through an attic antenna to the Denon receiver via HDMI? If so how? Thanks

Michael, it sounds like you're getting your TV signal from your roof antenna (over-the-air) and directly sending that signal to your TV. If that is the case, you are by-passing your receiver (Denon). That's why you're not getting anything when you select TV / Satellite mode on the Denon. I believe you can approach it two ways; 1) re-wire the roof antenna signal, from your TV, and instead, plug it into the Denon receiver (TV input). The Denon will simply pass the TV information to your TV via the HDMI cable you have connected between the Denon and your TV monitor (TV screen), and amplify the audio portion of the signal, allowing for surround sound etc. 2) You can keep your current connection between the roof antenna and your TV monitor, but in order to get the audio signal to your receiver, you will have to connect a wire from your TV (audio output) to the receiver. In this set up, I'm not sure of the best receiver audio input jack to use, but I believe the choices to be TV (in this case, there won't be a TV signal, just audio; I don't think it matters) or an Aux audio input. Whichever path you take, just make sure that you select the corresponding mode on the receiver. Example, if you choose to send the audio signal to the receivers Aux audio input, then select Aux on the receiver when you want the sound to come out of the receiver. I believe the preferred route would be #1 however. Hope this helps, good luck.

I got rid of my Denon receiver but I believe you can. The HDMI has a signal feed back the send audio signal out of the TV over HDMI into the receiver. Most receivers have this feature. If I remember correctly there should be a button on the Denon remote control marked 'TV'. Just press this button and you should here the TV audio over you speakers that are connected to your receiver.

I'm not familiar with your specific components but if your tv has an HDMI output connected to the receivers HDMI input you should have HD video and digital audio going from the tv to the receiver through the HDMI cable.

You need a receiver that does HDMI Audio Decoding, which until recently has only been availabe in upper-echelon receivers. Most recently the Onkyo 605/605 and comparable Yamaha's and Denons do decode 5.1 and Dolby True HD / DTS Master Audio. If a receiver is labelled pass-through that means it won't be able to split off the audio from the HDMI signal and will just give it to the TV, and you'll have to use a separate digital optical or digital coaxial cable to send to the receiver from your DVD, DVR, Blu-ray, etc. Sucks doesn't it?

Go with directly connected to one-connect box and audio back to your receiver via HDMI ARC or SPDIF (Optical) cable. The interface is actually quite nice on the Samsung TV. You could always try to connect it into the receiver and see how it goes. Also if you're using a 4K TV that automatically upconverts the image, I would disable the upconversion on the receiver. I've had better results on my Denon S900W with upconversion disabled interfacing to a UN65HU9000.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help.

Thanks very much for this question. Stump the band; I don't have the answer to this. Your best resource for the answer will be either the downloadable user's manual on the Denon site or Denon tech support. Thanks again.

If you have an analog tv you have to buy a converter box that enables you to get hd signals. If your tv does not have the cable connection on the tv, you cannot use this device. The only alternative is to get a satellite dish and receiver box from directv which allows your tv to pick up hd signals.

I have 3 components connected to my receiver - An Amazon TV, a Blu-Ray disk player and the Directv receiver - all using HDMI cables. You do need to have the receiver on, but how else would you get that beautiful sound! If your DirecTV receiver doesn't have an HDMI output, you can connect the DirecTV box to the composite video inputs on the front of the receiver and select the V-Aux input on the remote control. You may be able to connect it to one of the composite video inputs on the back, but I didn't try that. I hope that helps.TopCatOnyx

If you're trying to control the Denon, you need an IR receiver, not an emitter like this one.An example: Monoprice 5-Feet IR Extender Cable Receiver (108060)Hope that helps.

I easily pick up digital signals from 60 miles out. I live on a hill, which helps, but my Eagle Aspen antenna is mounted in my attic. Several programs are duplicate because they are broadcast from different cities. Like, I might get 3 channels of Home Shopping Network.I live 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.

To be totally honest i don't know if that application is possible. I'm using it to mix the seperate hdtv channels of two seperate directional antennas. I'm not sure if there would be any interferance between the over the air feed and the catv feed. You might look for a coaxial switch simular to the ones used with video game systems. Good luck

Don't have easy access to the back of mine so can't definately answer. Suggest you google the owner's manual for this model. Main question is why you would want audio to/from the tv. Connect your source input (cable/antenna/whatever) to the Denon and HDMI (or component) to the tv.

i don't understand the previous two answers. I have a powered soundbar and connect to my Dennon receiver via either the HDMI output from the receiver or the toslink fiber optics output from my Dennon Receiver. Wy wouldn't you run all inputs into your receiver and then from receiver to sound bar.

Yes, On my antenna I can receive digital channels. I not sure how far my antenna is from main antenna but I believe is about the same. It does help to rotate the antenna to get the best signal.

I believe it means you can connect an antenna like this one, http://www.channelmasterstore.com/Digital_HDTV_Outdoor_TV_Antenna_p/cm-4221hd.htm, directly to the TV to watch over-the-air HDTV.

Yes the 722K HD receiver from DISH can be used to receive Over The Air (OTA) signals. You will have to purchase an add-on tuner module to give it OTA capability. Here is the module that you need (http://www.amazon.com/Dish-Network-MT2-DISH-MODULE/dp/B003UQOVXI/ref=pd_sim_e_1). It slides into the rear left of your 722K. It works great.

Sorry for not answering sooner. My TV has coaxial OUT and my sound system has digital IN. It won't work in your case. The reason I use this one is that TV has terrible sound and I get OTA programming; so I use my home theater to listen to the TVs sound.
