Does not work with Xbox 360 or Mac Mini I bought one from Amazon and the HDMI works fine with my DirecTV DVR and Blu-Ray but no signal goes through for the Xbox or Mac Mini, Tried changing cables and ports. Called Pioneer and they finally said unit might be defective. Seems like the handshake was not working. Bought a 2nd unit from Best Buy to see if it would work and it has the EXACT same issue. Is anyone using an Xbox 360 S or mac mini successfully?

That did help with the 360, Turning Display Detect off was the key, Would have been nice if Microsoft or Pioneer had mentioned that. Mac Mini still not working. Switched to Onkyo Receiver and all is good

If you turn display detection off on the xbox 360 it will then switch correctly. Never notice if it turned off or not. I never got it to work with the Mac Mini. I am very happy with my Onkyo though

I saw a thread on the AVS forum that described a similar issue with getting the 360 to work with a new set-up. See if this helps: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1250622&page;=29

If it worked out of the box I would have been happy. If Pioneer or Microsoft had known how to fix the xbox issue it may have been keepable. The fact that the Mac Mini never worked was the clincher. The Onkyo I replaced it with worked right out of the box so to me this is a Pioneer issue. If I did not want to use it with an xbox or mac and did not know about the issues I am sure I would have rated it higher

Giving the receiver one out of five stars in your review is a little tough don't you think? I've had this unit since July and it's been great.

Hey Pugh, let me know if you have any of the compatibility issues I've had. You're using the Xbox Slim, and I'm thinking of upgrading to one especially if it works better with this reciever. Does your Xbox 360 turn off by itself everytime you switch to another input on your receiver?I'm using a Samsung LCD HDTV and if I'm the only one having these issues then maybe the TV is actually the culprit

Replacing the HDMI cable I was using (one that came with a video card) with a new High Speed Monster Cable fixed my problem as described below instantly.I have noticed that ours has recently started this behavior as well. Additionally, our XBox 360 is connected directly to the TV, and when using the ARC, the sound dropout is nearly continuous. I wonder if there may be a problem with the HDMI cable going from the receiver to the TV, but I haven't had a chance to try getting a new cable and see if that is in fact the problem.

I am having the exact same issue. I paid the extra money so I would have an authentic Xbox 360 controller with the dual usage option. It works great for my PC games. ( Skyrim in particular) however it was also suppose to be the second controller from my Xbox for when guests come over. I did push the button ))) to try and allocate it to the xbox but it just WILL NOT recognize it. I also feel like an idiot because I bought it months ago but only recently went to use the controller with the xbox and realized it doesn't work. I have a basic 4gig xbox 360 not a slim.

I tried to hook mine up using two cables and I could not get it to work. I believe I followed the steps correctly. Would appreciate a response from you if you were successful. I may need to return mine if the sub HDMI is not working & need to know soon before I cut the UPC off the box to get the free Avatar blu-ray that expires at the end of March.

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

In order for my setup to work correctly I have to use both the HDMI and the optical out on my Apple TV. My receiver is a 2001 Integra DTR6.2 which was made before HDMI existed so I run my HDMI into this switch and out to the TV. I then run the optical output from each device into this optical switch - 4x2 Remote Control Digital Optical TOSlink Audio Fiber Optic Selector Switch Switcher SplitterThis works for me. I'm not sure if I answered your question. However one thing that I can tell you is tht this switch will not separate the audio from the video, which is why I needed the seperate optical switch.

When the Directv guy came to hook it up, he told me to return it because he had one on his truck that he could use instead. So I returned this to Amazon. Saved me almost $300 les shipping. Directv basically owns all of their equipment even if you buy from someone else. I did not get the minis because I already had dvrs in the other rooms. Hope this helps.

I had a problem with this cable not working with the latest version of HDMI signal. Chances are Comcast are sending the latest HDMI signal (vers 1.3 or higher) so I recommend you return the BlueRigger is and get the following as this one worked as it is the latest HDMI version: "Aurum High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet CL2 Rated For In-Wall-Installation - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel - Full HD [Latest Version]"Aurum High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet (75 FT) CL2 Rated For In-Wall-Installation - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel - Full HD [Latest Version] - 75 Feet I had a problem with this cable not working with the latest version of HDMI signal.

Yeah i can confirm that it worked when i bought it. Though I didnt play anything with it. Just tasted to see if It responded to mac. Im not to big on Mac but when i tried it out it worked fine. The only issue you may run into, is based on the games you play that aren't fully supported. Some buttons may not be mappable, or the rumble function doesn't work. I actually bought this controller a few years ago, so not sure if its still supported. I now use a 360 controller. Hope that helps.

Hey man, I bought my MacBook Pro back in 2009 and my cable works on mine for video no problem. The only thing is that you won't output any sound, so I just plug in a home theatre auxiliary cable into my headphone slot. Video is completely fine though! And yes, it goes directly from your mini DVI into the HDMI slot on your TV.

Does your TV not have Component inputs? It would be a truly odd HDTV if it didn't have both HDMI and Component. If your Component input is tied up, you're better off getting a receiver or switch box to share the existing Component input. This cable WILL NOT WORK with the Xbox 360.

Ken, did you find a cable that supports HDCP Handshaking? I've not gotten this cable to work with AppleTV, looking for alternative. Anyone?

Same thing happened to me. It actually took out my DirecTV signal and had to restore the link between the unit and the TV. One one peripheral device ended up working, so I sent it back to Amazon. Refund processed quickly.

Mine didn't work at all, and I needed to pay for shipment back to the vendor. The vendor also grudgingly admitted to me that they have had similar experiences with this manufacturer, to which I asked, so why do you keep carrying this? If it worked at all, it should have worked with Apple TV with the connectors.

Are you trying to watch your Xbox 360 on two televisions? If so it should work fine and there should be no special instructions.If you are trying to ad an input to your single television in order to switch between two different devices one of which is your Xbox360, then you have purchased the wrong item and should have read my review. Return the item and look for an HDMI switch and not an HDMI splitter.

I have tried this with the Wii U, the Xbox 360, and AppleTV. They all worked equally poorly, so I think the Wii U is "supported". My problem was that the picture dropped out about once a minute, regardless of source. So it was unusable. Maybe some problem between this device and my projector. I got another hdmi audio extractor (KanexPro) which does work perfectly for these three devices.
