Must 765 use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier? I connected a Velodyne VA806 subwoofer to my 765and it won't deliver any sound.

Should work with either after the latest firmware update. What you need to do is to use either Audio1 or Audio2 and assign whatever input your video is on to it via the on-screen menus.

My blu-ray won't play through my rx565 via hdmi. The connections are good. I put the blu-ray directly to the tv and it was fine. My cable tv signal goes through it fine. I tried different ports to no avail. Is there a programming issue with the yamaha?

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.

This cable is an HD component cable adapter. So you will need to get an HD component cable for your wii

Hey my Friend, Thanks for your imput. Just want to get a clear understanding about HDMI and Composite connection differences. My HDTV is 3 years old with composite only connection. Will HD DVD give me 1080i reception capabilty. I now have the Dish 622 reciever and get HD quality no problem. Simply put does the Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD player have composite connections along with HDMI. Hope I've made myself clear enough. Thanks Much ... RD

I have a similar concern as well. I just purchased this & don't have it yet. Even though the tech specs here doesn't say so, Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102345) says: Composite A/V 2 (shared rear and side) Component Video 2 In For composite, by "shared", I assume the component video inputs can be used as composite instead. This customer-submitted image seems to confirm that:

I'm actually going to order this after the new year.I called Sony and they werent much help with my question. I also asked Crutchfield and while they didnt have a definitive answer for me, they recommended that I run the video from my computer directly to my TV and the audio to the receiver. Worst case scenario, thats what I'll do. I'm glad I have a Logitech 880 remote.I tried looking for answers and I'm surprised that no one had questions about using this unit with a computer.As for the other receivers you mentioned, I think this has more value than either of those with the 4 HDMIs and 1080p upscale. I'm really looking forward to getting this and making some free time to set it up. I'm actually going to order this after the new year.I called Sony and they werent much help with my question.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

I recently purchased this device intending to connect both composite(for an old VCR) and component(an old DVD player)because my new HDTV did not have both inputs. I opened the package to find that the instructions say that you can connect either all component OR all composite cables. You CAN NOT mix the two types of devices

Many TVs have a component input location the is made up of five ports. There are 3 for the 3 colors the tv displays and 2 for audio of course. If your TV does not have a place to plug in the component cables, you will need to get a converter. Your TV probably has and hdmi input. If not, just stick with the composite cable. The wii isn't a high definition device anyway so you won't display in 1080p ever with it. These cables do work for Wii U.

I have this and the directions state "This converter is designed for Wii only ! Pls do not connect with other devices" So it's not to be used with the WiiU.

The way you worded it seems to be what LaBute mentions.The only connection between the TV and the receiver is via the TV out port.The 360 should be hooked up via one of the free HDMI ports (DVD | BD | SAT/CATV).And all should be good.Try connecting the 360 directly to the TV to double-check that neither the HDMI cable nor the 360 is faulty. If the HDMI doesn't work, try the component cables as well before ruling out the possibility of the 360 not working.If the 360 works fine with the TV, I suppose it could be the receiver, if you've got the connections right and nothing is coming through. =/ The way you worded it seems to be what LaBute mentions.The only connection between the TV and the receiver is via the TV out port.The 360 should be hooked up via one of the free HDMI ports (DVD | BD | SAT/CATV).And all should be good.Try connecting the 360 directly to the TV to double-check that neither the HDMI cable nor the 360 is faulty.

We are very interested in buying the sr806 receiver but are concerned about the ps3/wii hookup issue. If we are to order via amazon, is there anyway to be confident we are getting the "upgraded" model and not the older version or do we just have to wait until we get the box and find out? Does anyone know? Thanks

I used my unit to connect a WII to a TV. The Wii has rca outputs(red, white, and yellow) The Tv only has hdmi inputs. This unit works very well for me. It translates the picture and sound to the TV. Hope this helps.

When I tried using the composite upconversion for the Wii, the picture looked terrible! It was very grainy and there were bars on all 4 sides. I have since bought a componet cable for the Wii and the picture quality is much better but there are still bars around the picture. When the Wii is connected directly to my 55" Sony LCD, it looks perfect. I called Sony support and they thought the receiver was defective so I exchanged it for a new DH820, and had the same results.

It is true that component cables or an HDMI cable help with video quality, however, you'll not need (or even be able to use) these cables to connect your basic cable incoming signal. If you subscribe to a premium cable service such as "digital cable" then you'll also have a cable box (decoder) which would offer you the option to use component or HDMI cables to connect your cable service to your TV. Otherwise, it isn't even an option.Should you also choose to connect your DVD/VCR/computer to your TV then the comments posted here by other posters would be relevent--that being that you could use component or HDMI cables to connect THOSE devices to your TV with a resultant improvement in your video quality.Al It is true that component cables or an HDMI cable help with video quality, however, you'll not need (or even be able to use) these cables to connect your basic cable incoming signal.

I used my optical audio output on my tv to get sound from my wii. Everything else comes from the hdmi inputs. Cable box (Input SAT), roku ( input dvd), and buleray player(input BD) all hooked up hdmi to the sony tower then hdmi to tv. Wii hooked up with component connectors to tv then a optical audio cable from tv to sony tower (input TV).
