Thanks for your question. I believe that this unit needs to be on. It is a wonderful sounding receiver.

The receiver needs to be on for anything you connect to it's hdmi inputs to be heard and/or seen. You can watch TV and listen to it through your tv speakers with the receiver off, but you won't get the digital (optical out) sound coming through your speakers that are hooked up to the receiver. As far as game consoles, blu-rays, streaming boxes, etc., if these things are connected to the receiver's hdmi inputs, in order for your to hear and see them, the receiver will have to be on.

So then, if I connect the cable using the compnent video cables, it should up convert the regular cable channels, correct?Is that a better trade off than using the HDMI as the connection between the cable box and the receiver?

the receiver is powered by a USB to mini USB cable, if your TV has a USB input you can use it to power the device (you still need HDMI for the video) , if not the box includes a 110V to USB adapter similar to a cellphone charger. The transmitter is powered by a wall plug/AC adapter.

yes it does. If you run HDMI to the TV from the receiver out, you can get the receiver inputs without power. However, when I tried using the HDMI control functions, I found that I couldn't turn up the volume on my TV with the TV remote. I might have a compatibility issue or I just need to play around with is ome more to get the settings right

MicheleIf your cable box is like mine you only need the HDMI cable only to send the signal to the TV, It handles the audio and the video. also choose the source on the remote control for the Tv. good luck . Mike

what receiver model do you have? The newest one does not show RGB output, only VGA, HDMI and the modern modes. If your receiver has an RGB output, then it should work. Check your cable connections make sure they are tight, and color codes matching.

You need to hook an optical cable from the receiver to the TV. Then your Wii, Cable box, or any audio that runs through the TV will also run through the receiver. The HDMI is input only, not output for audio. Good Luck.

Yes, each piece of hardware requires it's own hdmi cable to go into the receiver (hdmi ports marked "In 1, In 2, In 3"), and then you need a third hdmi cable to go from the hdmi "out" port of the receiver, to the TV.

The answer to the question is YES, however, there's no need to connect to a receiver since it has a built-in amplifier.I can't see the rationale. The component/TV output can be used to connect to a receiver (The Yellow will be the Video signal), but have in mind that the output already comes out with power, you may have distorted sound, no sound, and you can even damage your receiver since it is not designed that way.Hope you find this information helpful and feel free to ask me in the future if I can be of any assistance. Enjoy your new unit!!!

I don't think so. The receiver has to be hooked up to the television to receive.

Mine is plugged in as HDMI 1, with the HDMI out to the TV No problems at all. I have a Roku and Blueray attached to other HDMI inputs, and the receiver has performed perfectly.

No. I have a single HDMI cable connected from the projector to my receiver.

The tv does not do audio out so you will need a receiver to plug individual sources up to and then send one cable out to tv for video.

The question is not clear. How is the video connected to a TV or something else from the receiver?

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

No you must use the receiver that comes with it The receiver has rca jacks for video and audio out
