Does this allow pass through HDMI when receiver is off? Does this support that capability?

yes it does. If you run HDMI to the TV from the receiver out, you can get the receiver inputs without power. However, when I tried using the HDMI control functions, I found that I couldn't turn up the volume on my TV with the TV remote. I might have a compatibility issue or I just need to play around with is ome more to get the settings right

Wait, are you saying you have 2 HDMI connections between the tv and receiver?

The latest firmware has not solved the HDMI problems, however there is a very simple solution to it. It's a bit annoying, but if you unplug the receiver then plug it back in the HDMI handshake problem goes away, at least for the current time you're using it. Not a permanent solution, but it works for the moment.

I use this unit to split my cable box HDMI output which them feeds my Sony Receiver and two other Devices. I have found the splitter only works if all the other devices are on. If any one of them is turned off, the splitter won't pass the sound portion of the HDMI signal. I don't think this anything to do with the make of the components.

If the HDMI (audio and video) are passing through the receiver, then you will not be able to watch unless the unit is on.

I just checked this, and I answered incorrectly The unit must be on to view TV So the answer is no, unless the unit is powered on and the correct input selected, it will not pass any signal

If you where unable to then you didn't select the pass thru option on the receiver. I'm able to watch Satellite, PS3 and my 360 without having the system on.

So far in my experience with this receiver the volume does not display onscreen when passing-through HDMI signals. However, it will display if you are upconverting component and composite to HDMI signals. Hope this helps.

When I power on the receiver is on the hdmi input that was set when I turned it off. I don't know if you can make one input the default when powered on? But would like to know if you can...I use the iPad Pioneer iControlav app which makes switching the input and controlling the receiver very easy.

According to the manual it does have pass-through, and I have seen the setting in the setup. I haven't tried it myself since I always use the receiver's speaker. I can say it's not enabled by default because I did try that. You can also select if you want it to cascade the off signal to other devices (for example, shut of the Blu-ray player when I shut off the receiver in that mode) It also requires the other device to be compatible with this.

PamRosa, We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option. --Mr. S

Believe this receiver has two HDMI outputs. Maybe try the other one and make sure the correct output is selected. Did you try turning the receiver off to see if the HDMI signal goes through in pass through mode?

The reciever depends on the back channel from the TV. I agree it probably requires an DDCP handshake. It is depending on the TV to decode and send audio etc on the back channel. My "TV" is actually an old school monitor with no back channel so I could never get this to work. I was hoping for a straight through switch from the HDMI so that I could send multiple sources to my TV and pull off the sound. I was not able to do this with my TV

Yes. Even when the receiver is off, it will pass a 3D signal through to the TV.

no the receiver has to be on to get picture,to your tv. if you connect the player via HDMI to the back of receiver ,than from receiver to t.v.,the power on the receiver must be on to get picturenow the strdh810 you can have the power on the receiver off and still watch tv,the hdmi will passthru to the tv without the power of receiver being on

Yes, it acts as a pass through. I have found it easy, just plug n play, I used it to connect blu ray players, roku box and receiver with no problem. I am currently using a Mac air port router with no problems

HDMI connections are actively switched in the unit when it's ON. There is no "standby" for these connections to pass through passively when the power is off.
