Can I use only HDMI in and only Component out? And if yes are there limitations?

Just go with hdmi and component outs from your STB into the Slingbox then HDMI out of slingbox into your TV and you won't have a problem or know the difference.

Yes, that's the way I have it now, because Comcast lock the TV content I can't use the hdmi out

Definitely. I currently have 3 hdmi and one set of speaker wires in mine. Just be aware it may be a tight fit. You shouldn't have a problem though.

it can be. There's a menu item in the setup menu called "HDMI Setup". In there you can enable pass through for one source at a time.

The HDMI is for out use only. I bought this for my 7 year old for Christmas and have been very pleased overall. Didnt think she needed an expensive unit but something that was gonna be good for a few years.

Yes you can use just the VGA and not use the audio. I use it for my surveillance DVR going to a 36 inch TV as a security monitor.

Yes you definitely can. I have mine set up that way. You just need a video card that has an HDMI output.

You answered your own question actually; it is only able to use an HDMI cable. AV/Component output is not supported for that model so this product would serve you no purpose.

You can only daisy chain using the DP out to another monitor, the HDMI port is input only unless otherwise noted on the port.

Yes you can, however, I was disappointed to find that you cannot directly output audio from any of the hdmi inputs to zone 2. Only in "party mode" which outputs the same thing on both zones in stereo only.

after a google search I have not found anything that you can do with the HDMI output unless there's a device that you can plug it into that will actually split the HDMI signal

It's not an HDMI to component converter. If it were, then you would turn an HDMI signal into a Component signal so that you could plug an HDMI only output device into a Component input on your TV. This particular box does the opposite. It will allow you to plug in a Component only output device (such as a Wii Console with the official component cable) into a screen that only has HDMI ports open, such as a monitor. And trust me, if we are looking at the same model, the latter is the case. I own one, I have for around 6 months now and this one definitely only goes one way: Component to HDMI.

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. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!

Yes, component out is available, but please note that with all Blu-ray players manufactured after December 2010, component output is converted down to 480i/p.http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2011/02/goodbye-hd-component-video-hollywood-hastens-the-analog-sunset/index.htm

You'd need to have an HDMI to component signal converter box to do that; and even then you might have problems when you go to play stuff because of HDCP protection kicking in.

No. You need hdmi or component cable for that.HD in this case is for heavy duty.

No, not unless you have rca input hook-ups. HDMI is currenly all outputs. Hook-ups need to go out to in or vise versa, not out to out or in to in.
