920 HDMI to component? If I hook them up with HDMI in can I use the component out to hook to my TV?

No. From looking at the STR-DG920 documentation (downloaded from the support section of www.sonystyle.com), the receiver upconverts everything to HDMI and also upconverts composite video sources to component, but HDMI sources are *not* downconverted to component or composite. (I've yet to see any A/V receivers that downconvert from HDMI to component.)

I'm not familiar with your specific components but if your tv has an HDMI output connected to the receivers HDMI input you should have HD video and digital audio going from the tv to the receiver through the HDMI cable.

That's what I did with HDMI out from Direct TV Box to the Component Video and Sound in of an older TV. There must be the three component video jacks (RBG) in on the TV. A TV with just 1 yellow video in will not work.

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

I don't think so. component RCAs are analog and unless you get a converter, the cable won't make the signals digital like your TV HDMI slot needs.

I'm not sure if I can help as I have cable but you might need an HDMI and possible a component cable as well.

Great question, I honestly don't know. Basically, you're saying you have some composite devices (instead of component devices). Unless you're going to use it strictly for composite devices, I'm not sure how it would work. Meaning, you'd have to hook it up to your TV to where you're using only a red/white (audio) and yellow (video) cable.

No, it does not. ): Component inputs HAS to be component out, and it is the same for everything else. HDMI out only works for HDMI inputs and so forth.

The best signal you will be able to get via component cabling is "1080i" upscaling does nothing to this one way or another. Your only gain using HDMI before your TV would be less cabling as their bandwidth is worthless due to yoru tv having the wrong inputs. I would recommend the HDMI cables just incase you ever upgrade to a newer tv and find out "crap I don't have the best cables for this, now I have to go buy them."

no problem. Just plug the AV out into the input device red, yellow, and white inputs. Haven't tried the component cable since I use HDMI. Don't know if component works or not.

The same way you set up any turtle beaches, just put the red & white component cables from your console into the turtle beach ports & you'll be fine, the HDMI is from your console to your TV, that has nothing to do with the beaches. :D

so it looks like it should be ok. i may call sony to confirm.the other thing that i've been thinking about is connecting my computer to the 920. i would connect the dvi output and connect it to the source 1 hdmi input using a dvi-hdmi adapter, then connect the optical audio to the source 1 optical input. i read in the manual that using a dvi to hdmi connection is not recommended/supported by the 920. do you or does anyone else using the 920 know about this?

No. Component is analog and hdmi is digital. If there is such a cable it is a scam.

Component and HDMI are supposed to handle the same quality of signal. There are those who would debate the quality of component over HDMI but I have not been able to tell with my eyes any visible difference in picture quality. Sometimes cable length is an issue though, so be aware that a 15' cable or longer *might* degrade the signal quality. Hope that is helpful to you.

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.

Yes, but you will need a male HDMI to male HDMI Mini to connect this to your component (t.v. computer, etc.)
