Will the FM cable input on this receiver take a over the air TV antenna signal and send it to a TV thru the HMDI output? Thanks! My tv's tuner is not a problem. My 32 month Sharp TV has no sound nor will it's audio out jacks send out a signal. It was suggested by a repair service that replacing the circuit board would be too expensive, that I just use it as a monitor and that I route the signal thru a receiver and let its speakers handle the improved sound. Since I would be using an antenna for HD & SD stations thru an amp using RG-6 cable, I would need a jack to take the RG-6 cable into the receiver and take the video signal on to the TV. The audio signal could be broad cast by the receiver. I notice U-verse cable boxes take RG- inputs and output thru HDMI with no problem.I haven't found a RG-6 /HDMI adapter. any suggestions?

No. There is nowhere to hook up your antenna to the receiver itself. In order to get your over the air TV audio to play out through the speakers you'd need to run your antenna into the tuner on the TV, then from your TV to the receiver using HDMI Audio Return Channel (HDMI 1.4 only. Your TV might not support that), An optical audio cable for 5.1, or RCA cables (Red and white) for stereo sound only.I can't think of any receivers that have a built in TV tuner.

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

Very tough call to make. I can't comment on the Yamaha 465 as I haven't used it. I've looked at its info on Yamaha's site and it doesn't seem to indicate pass-through only for its HDMI, which means it may support audio through HDMI, too. But as they say, specs are subject to change without notice. I do have the Onkyo TX-SR507 receiver and it DOES support audio through HDMI as well. I've read a few reports saying that the Onkyo receiver will work great with Bose, Polk, and Yamaha speakers. I'm actually using Yamaha NS-SP1800 5.1 Speaker system that I bought off of Tigerdirect.com for only $119, and to be honest, they rival my parents Bose home theater system. They have an old analog one since they don't have HD. I'm the only one in my family with HD gear, lol! Score one for the kids. I've actually done a lot of research, even Consumer Reports, to find my receivers. Whenever you do receiver shopping, ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM RECEIVERS THAT HAVE ONLY HDMI PASS-THROUGH if you want your audio going through HDMI. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You may want to have all of your video/audio inputs go to the Yamaha RX-V477 first rather than to the TV. This will bypass any incompatibly that your TV will have. If your TV has HDMI inputs this will work very well. I don't know what your setup so it is possible that this will not work for you. I had an earlier model Yamaha that had trouble with analog inputs mixed with digital. Since I went all digital I haven't been able to test the Yamaha RX-V477 with a mix. If you get your TV over the air then this may not work for you but if you use cable or satellite, it should work quite well.

One issue was resolved with a quick call to Peerless tech. I connected transmitter to DirecTV then out to Yamaha receiver. Picture/sound flickered on/off. I had to connect transmitter after AV receiver, not before. Works great, and now any device connected to my receiver (BluRay, CD, VCR) is transmitted to remote TV. Putting transmitter inside cabinet reduced signal, but placing it as close to receiver as possible, receiving signal is 4 bars (highest) even through 2 walls and on another floor.

This limitation does have problem in certain situation. Some of solutions mentioned in previous posts may not work:1. The optical output on the TV set may not deliver audio signal when it takes av input from its HDMI ports. It is at least the case in my 2007 Samsung 52in HDTV set. I can have audio from the optical output only when the TV receives the signal from its RF inputs. 2. The HDMI connection between TV and the receiver may not pass the audio signal from TV to the receiver if the HDMI is not V1.4.In most cases, you have to connect the receiver's audio input (either the coaxial or analog) directly to the audio outputs of the other source devices such as cable box or pvr.

The Channel Master 7001 tuner is not an analog tuner. It is a digital only type tuner. It can pick up digital ATSC signals (over the air digital signals) and it can pickup unscrambled QAM digital signals on a cable TV system. But neither of these two formats are the older type of NTSC "analog" signals you are asking about. Of course analog signals are no longer broadcast over the air and many cable systems are also getting rid of them too since it is an outdated approach. But many cable systems also still carry some analog signals (in standard definition) for those customers that don't want to pay for digital cable boxes or don't have compatible equipment. Most TVs today have both a built in digital tuner and an analog NTSC type tuner so a TV can scan in both types of channels. While it is a drawback of the 7001 tuner that it can't do analog NTSC channels, the price is still very low for what you get given its digital capabilities. I've bought mine realizing it was not going to do the analog channels. I've had it for about two months and really like it for receiving digital HD signals on cable. I use it with an Epson HD projector.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

This will not boost quality of the signal. The signal is either there or not depending on your antenna, obstructions, height, direction, model, etc... It will boost the current signal down the line to your tv(s), splitters, etc.... If you are already receiving channels that are at 100%, this may create unwanted noise on the line which your receiver may have issues. If you are at 100%, you should not need the boost. In a nut shell. This device works great for long cable runs, and where a drop in DB when splitting or going through a distribution point. In my case, I received 95% - 100% signal on 40 stations at the antenna with a very short cable test to a TV / Receiver. When hooked up in my normal setup which included a splitter and about 75 feet of runs, I only received about 10 channels and those were cutting out at 50% signal. Once the amp/booster was installed (at the antenna), I receive everything strong and near 100% down the line at my TV's

I am interested in buying this player. I have a cable box from charter and all the cables from it go directly into my sharp hdtv. how do I hook this unit up so I can record tv shows. Also, whats the difference between tunerless and units that have built in tuner. Which should I buy? Thanks for any thoughts

I am using it with the Mahu Sky HDTV and it filters out FM signals so I can not test it for you. However FM goes from 88Mhz to 108Mhz in the united states, an RG6 cable is rated up to 3GHz (3000Mhz) so a RG6 cable should work just as good as a RG-59. That being said the Mediabridge cable is double shielded and (in my experience with it so far) should reduce the noise that you would pick up between the antenna and the receiver vs a single shielded cable.

Input on home sys is high impedance and TV out is low. This could damage one of your devices. I have done it with devices other than TV and stereo. I would not do it for long or often. Go to hi end audio store and ask questions, don't let them give a simple answer.

Anymore, it's not a bad idea. RG6 is for digital cable and satellite, RG59 for analog. Any more, TVs, cable, satellite, DVD players, etc. are all digital. BTW, in my RV, I did not change out the installed cable lines, and even on the secondary line in the back room, it works fine, as long as I have the amplifier on in the wall plate. I'm not sure what cable was installed, though. You might try it first, before replacing the lines. I'm no techy, but I found the info on the cables online. Just used "rg59 vs rg6 coaxial cable" in search.

You'll probably want to get a set-top box from your cable provider and then run HDMI from it (the box) to the receiver. If you'd rather not do that (and who wants another "rental" fee from the cable company?) then you'll have a few options, which I'll explain below... I'm not sure if this receiver does an "audio return channel" (ARC) over HDMI or not. ARC can bring audio from the cable (or other inputs) from the TV to the receiver over the HDMI cable. ARC is part of the HDMI 1.4 standard but I haven't read the manual for this product; not sure if it does it or not. If it does, you're golden. Just program the receiver to do it. Shouldn't take more than thirty seconds. If it doesn't support ARC, you'll need to leave the coaxial cable plugged into the TV and (in order of signal quality from best to worst) run an optical (Toslink) audio cable or an RCA digital "coaxial" audio cable or (*gasp*) an RCA ("red and white") analog cable from the TV to the receiver. The "coaxial" connector on the receiver refers to coaxial digital audio. It's likely that your TV will have a Toslink output on the back panel. That will give the highest quality signal. A 12-foot Belkin "Pure A/V" Toslink cable should cost less than $10 (plus shipping). Nearly every A/V cable I own was made by Belkin and I've had excellent results from them all. I hope this helps you to make sense of your connectivity problem. Best of luck!

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver. there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

Mine is not comming from the sub. I've disconnected the sub and all the speakers 1 at a time and still have it. I did go into the Direct TV set-up and changed some audio settings and it is now at a lower voluume, but is still there. I thought maybe it was the Direct TV Receiver, but I disconnected it & still get have the hum running the receiver on fm stations.Thanks for the inputP.S. I have the Onkyo TX-SR705, not the 805.

If your TV is receiving a video input from a video source like the Internet via an Ethernet /WiFi connection then the audio output would only be available on it's headphone socket or via a dedicated analog RCA stereo output or Digital optical or SPDIF output connection. It would not be available on other HDMI sockets which are usually all input connections on the TV. The linear analog or digital audio will have to go to the Yamaha AV inputs or audio input connections. It's mentioned in the manual . Look for the user manual on the Net.
