So this has older 5.1 audio RCA outputs (one jack for FR, FC, FL, RR &amp; RL)? I have an older audio receiver that does not support HDMI. Thanks!

That's what I use, the RCA cable, I don't use HDMI. It has all what you want and even more things in the back.

No, it did not work for me. HDMI is diigital and component RCA is analog. They are incompatible. I was trying to connect my PC to a TV that does not have HDMI input. There is a small chance that if your HDMI source is a computer you may be able to change the computer HDMI output to analog but my understanding is that there are few computers that have the capability. My TV does have a DVI input so I bought a HDMI to DVI cable for the video. Then I use a separate cable from the PC headphone output to get the audio. That does work.

This unit has 2 outputs on the back. An HDMI, and a digital audio output (orange color RCA type plug). Most amplifiers that this would connect to probably are equipped with surround sound. Although I haven't tried it, you may be able to connect this device to a HDMI to RCA converter, then connect it to a regular amplifier. Do an Amazon search for "HDMI to RCA converter". Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity%C2%AE-Composite-Video-Audio-Converter/dp/B008FO7PQA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1379384146&sr;=8-1&keywords;=hdmi+to+rca+converter

There is only one HDMI input (digital video/audio), the other two connectors are for the two dongle cables for analog pass through (one is input, the other is output), the dongles are used for RGB video and R/L audio input/output, all of them are RCA type connectors 3/2 configuration. Look closely at the end of the dongle and HDMI cables, you will see they are shaped differently and do not interconnect. You can't use the HDMI & dongle inputs at the same time, but you can use the HDMI as the input for digital video/audio, then use the dongle output for RGB video and the optical output for digital audio out for 7.1 sound. You can also purchase a converter to convert the RGB/optical to HDMI digital, but make sure the converter is RGB/optical Input with HDMI Output as many are only HDMI Input to RGB/optical output.

This converter box only allows RCA jacks on the input to go to HDMI output.You probably want some sort of VGA to HDMI converter.Search Amazon for this one QVS HVGA-AS VGA Video/Stereo Audio to HDMI Digital ConverterIt does sound and video.Just video converters are less expensive.Good luck!

i have plasma "optical out" and i have my receiver with 'RCA input only" with 5.1 Speaker out, do this adapter work to have 5.1 surround sound. My receiver is only RCA Input, and i want 5.1 out, NOT Stereo?.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help.

Very tough call to make. I can't comment on the Yamaha 465 as I haven't used it. I've looked at its info on Yamaha's site and it doesn't seem to indicate pass-through only for its HDMI, which means it may support audio through HDMI, too. But as they say, specs are subject to change without notice. I do have the Onkyo TX-SR507 receiver and it DOES support audio through HDMI as well. I've read a few reports saying that the Onkyo receiver will work great with Bose, Polk, and Yamaha speakers. I'm actually using Yamaha NS-SP1800 5.1 Speaker system that I bought off of Tigerdirect.com for only $119, and to be honest, they rival my parents Bose home theater system. They have an old analog one since they don't have HD. I'm the only one in my family with HD gear, lol! Score one for the kids. I've actually done a lot of research, even Consumer Reports, to find my receivers. Whenever you do receiver shopping, ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM RECEIVERS THAT HAVE ONLY HDMI PASS-THROUGH if you want your audio going through HDMI. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks, I ordered the cables but now I'm not sure how to hook it up to my 6.1 Sony receiver. All the rear jack labels match but I have one conflict:The Sony DVD has 2 surround back but my receiver has one. I am currently using the receiver to mix the extra info to the rear (5.1) as I don't have any physical back speakers. If I set the DVD player to 5.1 & omit the cable, will I lose any info? I know it sounds confusing but I just want to make sure the player will send the info to the available speakers.

I think this might have all the details you're looking for: http://docs.pioneer.eu/Manuals/HTP_071_5707_00000_611_0S_manual/ I'm just using HDMI w/ embedded audio, but it has coax and optical for audio as well (and it will accept & process 7.1 in addition to 5.1, although to do 7.1 you need an external amp to do the side speakers - it has only amps for the 5.1 channels and then 2 RCA outs for the side channels). Other interesting thing to note is that it switches video w/ audio of course, BUT does not allow for any conversion of video format. So, while it has analog video inputs, it will only send those analog video signals to an analog video signal output, not the HDMI output (and vice versa w/ the HDMI - the HDMI video input can only be routed to the HDMI video output, not the analog video output). I like this unit. The speakers leave a bit to be desired, but the receiver is a solid foundation for a decent home theater setup.

It has 7 RCA inputs. They are labeled underneath the black RCA jacks FR, RS, RBS, center, LBS, LS, LF. front right, surround right, right back surround, center, left back surround, left surround, left front... respectively. Please feel free to call me if you don't understand. Thank you, Damon

I just bought this unit, so I can understand the question. It is really quite simple. There are three HDMI inputs and one HDMI output on the Onkyo HT-S5100 (also tons of other RCA, etc. inputs, no problem there!). The HDMI output feeds into the TV, of course. But I found I needed to connect a cable or an optical cable to the back of the TV in order to feed the audio back into the Onkyo amplifier. Now EVERYTHING sounds great!

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.

That's strange, so it says 3 HDMI outputs but really that's not true huh? Is there such a thing as a receiver that actually as 3 outputs for video as this would imply? Seems like false advertising if it's not true.

If you have a receiver that is 5.2 or 7.2 you can run one RCA cable to the Red and one to the white for the 2 sub outputs. That's what I did.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

If you have an "old" reciever that uses RCA inputs you will need a NeweR reciever that utilizs a HDMI cable. I said the same thing, then bought a newer reciver 3 years ago . hope this helps.
