Can I select on the remote if the audio is stripped to the toslink port or kept on the HDMI?

Sorry, I can't answer this question for you. I purchased the version with no remote.

I have the Etekcity premium 6x2 HDMI 1.4 and the manual indicates that the Toslink audio follows the Out A HDMI audio. So it seems it outputs audio to both the HDMI connection and the toslink connection when you use the A bank HDMI outputs. Please note I have it hooked up and use the HDMI audio so I have not tested this myself.

You can use a TOSLINK cable to get your sound from your receiver, that is IF your antiquated receiver is capable doing such. Many modern receivers can actually play the video and the sound through the HDMI cable.

What I would do is buy a optical toslink cable to rca left and right converter

L/R analog rca jacks, optical (Toslink), or HDMI CRC (which does *not* work with my Yamaha receiver!)

that was my experience; somewhere in the literature in fact says that if you use HDMI or Digital Optical cable, that you have to use the audio cable out as well (defeats the purpose of the HDMI or Digital Optical cable IMO), however it works well with that set-up

Any newer TV will have an audio out port. Usually they'll have Optical also called TOSLINK. sometimes though it's only the old RCA red and white style. get yourself one of the type of cable that you need and then run that from your TV to your receiver

I have a DVI and Toslink feeding into this unit and HDMI coming out to the amplifier. I lose audio when the DVI feed is unplugged even though the Toslink is still connected. I still get audio, however, when feed from this unit to the TV it feeds to is off. Hope that answers your question.

Yes, set the switches in on the back as the manual states. I use DTS through the Toslink and it works fine.

Use the optical connector. Our takes the sound from the tv back to the unit

Hi Renee! This can be done using the "Video Out" feature. This allows you to select a video source to be displayed in conjunction with the current audio source. As an example, this is how you would assign a CD player (AUDIO 1), to play with a cable box (HDMI 2): 1) Set the input to AUDIO 1 2) On the remote, press 'OPTION' to display the on-screen menu 3) Select "Input Settings" then "Video Out", then select "HDMI 2" 4) Press 'OPTION' to exit the menu After changing this setting, video from HDMI 2 would be displayed anytime the AUDIO 1 input is selected.

Sorry I can't answer your question. I am not sure what a TOSLINK port is. All I can tell you is that I used the HDMI port. I suggest that you contact Panasonic for technical questions like this. My sound bar is a great improvement over the TV speakers. I put the bass unit behind the TV, but the lower bass notes are non directional and allow for placement anywhere in the room. If you find the answer to your question please let me know, as I would be interested as well. Add a comment to my review. Thanks.

It depends on your AV receiver and TV setting. You can select either one audio source to ON or both on.

Make sure you go to the input setup in the menu and choose the video input associated with the input "DVD" etc and choose component not HDMI

I purchased this recently and can answer the audio output question - it is digital toslink only - there are a ton of digital to rca converters for $15 or so if this is a problem.

Mine failed today. I found out Onkyo has issued a recall for loss of audio. They are giving me the option to have it repaired or a $125 rebate towards a new receiver. Going to get it repaired and be done with Onkyo if it fails again. This was my 2nd Onkyo receiver and both of them had issues with the HDMI board.

Checked last night and there is one optical connection (Toslink). Hope this helps.

Yes. I have the exact setup you describe. I hear audio through the HDMI to my TV, and can turn on the stereo receiver and change the switch to 5.1 when I want surround sound. One point is, there is a slight audio delay between the HDMI and fiber outputs depending on the switch being on 2ch or 5.1ch. If the Monoprice is on 2ch, the tv is muted, and the receiver is turned on, the audio is slightly (milliseconds) out of sync with the video signal. But if I'm using the receiver and the Monoprice is on 5.1, the audio is synced up.
