Audio and Wii question: Can I get audio out of my wii from this system?

Well, you do have analog left and right channels coming from Wii (I mean, the sound has got to come from somewhere, right?), which you could plug into any vacancy you might have. Or, if you have one, run a digital line OUT of your TV to the receiver. This would work for everything you had hooked up to your TV already when you add the Onkyo receiver. If everything was digital, this would work fine. In my case, I had analog running from the DVD; now have coaxial running to the receiver to get Dolby Digital (left the component video cables hooked to the TV rather than buy another set). Netflix and Wii just announced that you will be able to stream movies in over your Wii wireless connection! You will receive a disc to insert into your console, and then... The Onkyo receiver does a decent job of faking a surround sound. I guess the day is coming for a new Wii console with digital sound.

Yes you can. It's identified as 'External Digital Audio In (Optical)' on page 11 of the user manual, and on the back of the unit. It's a square receptacle.

If I plug component cables in (say from my wii) will the head unit convert the a/v signals and send it out through the hdmi out? Our does the hdmi out only push through hdmi signals?

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 as long as the plugs you have of the wii cable are composite/RCA males and the computer monitor has a headphones 3.5mm hole!

Yes, there is a port for audio out. I'm using a pair of jvc speakers with internal amp. I'm also using a hdmi cord between a dvd player and projector.

If you have component cables, you can record through the Wii. I actually have my component cables running from the Wii to the Hauppauge, then to my TV, so it definitely works.

Depends on what kind of hookups the Wii has and/or what kind of connector cable you have. I'm not familiar with the wii, but I'm guessing it comes with a standard audio/video connector (like a dvd player) or else an HDMI connector. This monitor doesn't have either of those, but if you have something that can convert whatever comes out of the wii to VGA, then it should work to play graphics (but no sound). You would need to hook up a set of speakers if you wanted to hear sound. Also, keep in mind that this monitor is only about 11 inches tall. You said you wanted to use it while watching another TV, so a small screen and no sound might work for you. If so, then you would just need a cable to convert the wii to VGA. I would look for a cable first before buying the monitor. Hope that helps. :)

Your "cd system" may have multiple outputs. U can use a different output and go directly to the surround sound. Or you can get a splitter for the output off this block. Either way as long as you have the same connection type it should be simple.

I pluged mine into a BOSE speaker system along with my TV, Sat., and Wii Game via that USB type cord.

yes you could im pretty sure, if you have purchased this item already then you would mostly know what im talking about. If you look at your Game Capture HD on the back there is two rows of component inputs on the top row ( if you have the yellow, white, and red cords ) plug them into the top row the yellow goes into the green hole and skip the blue and red ones that are next to the green and you plug in the white and red into the red and white holes that are by them selves. I used this trick for my wii when i was using the hd cords ( that are supposed to be there ) for my dvd player, and it recorded and worked fine. yes you could im pretty sure, if you have purchased this item already then you would mostly know what im talking about.

Yes you can, come out of your headphone jack to the audio input of your stereo unit

The HDMI cable has an input on back straight into the sound bar and there is an output HDMI jack that feeds from the soundbar back to the TV using another HDMI cable. There is also audio cable included that can feed audio from the tv to an auxillary input on the back of the soundbar. I hooked up a Wii game system also, that has Netflex using the audio cable for sound from the tv to the soundbar. You have to switch the soundbar from HDMI to auxillary when I use the audio cables for the Wii, and it works great. I don't believe that the non-HDMI input audio can be sent through an HDMI output, you would have to use the audio cables into the auxillary I believe.

Yes you'll be able to, but you'll have to find a way to get audio from the Blu-ray player because DVI doesn't support sound.

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound.

I have a seperate sound system I use for sound which I come out of the headphone output

Kind of. There is a USB dongle that attaches to the Wii itself with a wireless receiver button on it. You press that button and the sync button on the drum set to 'wirelessly' sync the drum but it still requires use of one of the USB ports.
