Looks like it doesn't support pass through...http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=21271530Per post #28.

So if I want to watch TV the receiver must be turned on? How can I hook up the cables so the TV and it's speakers work with the cable, and the extra speakers work only when the receiver is turned on?

Yes...with caveats. You can specify a specific HDMI input is to transmitted through every time the receiver is in standby, or you can choose the "LAST" option, which will transmit the HDMI signal that was selected when you put the receiver in standby. If your goal is to simply be able to watch TV as if the receiver weren't there, yes, you can do that.

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

Have not had that issue. I have an issue with a 3D TV where the HDMI handshake on the TV end is problematic. It's mainly an annoyance as I can either delay turning on the cable box until the TV is fully up or just turn the cable box off and back on. Other than that it works fine. I would suggest trying another HDMI input device if you can for a test to eliminate any issues with your current device and try a different cable for the input. If you have more than one output device connected start with just a single output device until you have it working solidly. Also make sure that the power adapter if firmly plugged in. If the power LED also comes and goes then it might be power related. If you have another power adapter with the same plug size and polarity you might try that just to eliminate any power issues. The vendor was very responsive (as was Amazon's tech support) with troubleshooting my HDMI handshake issue so try them too.

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

It suppose to choose hdmi(arc) first, then optical, and then analog if hdmi and optical is not connected. My nr828 shows analog only. And you cant change it manualy like i do on my cambridge audio. Interesting fact that when you look to your connections in setting it doesnt show that i have an analog connection because i dont, and shows the optical one as i used optical cable to connect my tv, despite that fact that i have an ARC hdmi on my tv

If optical is not working, HDMI pass throught will help for both video and audio. Also make sure the input for the optical on the receiver is setup correctly, on the back it will have TV or GAME as input for optical. Make sure the input is setup for either, and may have to cycle the inputs to make sure you have the right one.

check and find out if your TV has the AR(audio return )feature on it. My TV does, but only one HDMI is dedicated for this feature not all. So the best thing is to get the manual instruction of the TV and explore about the inputs of HDMIs or go to your TV and look for one of the HDMIs to have a ARI printing on it. if you don't see it, it means that your TV is not equiped with that feature. I hope that I have answered your question. Good luck

The device you need is the HDMI Detective Plus from Gefen...Gefen HDmi Detective PlusThat fools your source device (or computer) into thinking that there is alway an HDMI display connected. And it has pass-through, so that the signal can continue onto your display (or A/V receiver).

This receiver won't cross-convert your HDMI input into the analog outputs; the receiver will only pass analog inputs to the analog outputs on the receiver, likewise with the HDMI input/output stage. Refer to p.100 of the manual for a graphic depicting the stages.

Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so). However, I still have my doubt about it. I have not tested it yet because I haven't bought the 3DTV yet. AS soon as I tested will let you know the results.Furthermore, I think that, even if it works, sooner or later, I have to buy a new receiver to feel that I am taking full advantage (or not missing something) of 3D capabilities.If I buy a new receiver, I would buy the new Sony 1010.Regards Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so).

John, This particular happens to have an HDMI output on the video card that also allows audio passthrough. All that would need be done is to connect the computer to the TV via the HDMI ports on each device. The computer should automatically select the HDMI output as the correct output, and you would need to set your TV to the correct input. If you have a receive your are instead hooking this up to (like a surround sound receiver or a multi DVD player/DVR) then the process is similar. Consult your auxiliary box's manual for further assistance.

As of today's date, the HDMI issue has not been resolved by SONY. My recommendation is to look elsewhere for a receiver. I understand from research that ONKYO had a similar problem very early in 2013. However, the difference appears to be that ONKYO has resolved the problem. I returned my SONY 1040 and purchased ONKYO 626. A bit less power, however, I can watch TV without unplugging the receiver every few days just to get it to work.

ya..that's what I thought and I do have the cable box connected to the TV with component cables, connected to input 2 of TV, along with the HDMI output of the receiver connected to input 1 of TV.I had a Yamaha 465 that did allow the pass thru when the receiver was turned off. But I do like this SR707 alot better.....better sound, more power and more inputs.Bottom line.... no big deal.....

It likely has nothing to do with the receiver. You may need to go to the cable/satellite receiver settings and change it to HDMI output.

From what it looks like, you are correct in thinking that you will have to select the mode, then the input. The HDMI 1 and 2 ports share a mode with ports 1 and 2 of the component ports. So if you went to Video 1, i would hazard a guess that it defaults to HDMI, and to switch it to component you would have to change it to component. This to me seems like an extra unnecessary step. If anyone has this receiver and cares to prove me wrong, please let me know, because if it doesn't take the extra step, I might actually want to purchase this.
