What do I need to do get it to use inputs beside HDMI? I've tried cd and dvd inputs and nothing happens.

You may need to go into setup and identify which inputs a given source is supposed to be using. CD should only be using standard audio cables. DVD might be set to HDMI, but you may need to specify Component/Composite.

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

I got mine to work using the arc input. I tried all others and it would not work. Same hdmi cable just a different port on my tv/soundbar.

Make sure you go to the input setup in the menu and choose the video input associated with the input "DVD" etc and choose component not HDMI

I have yet to even get my DVD player to work, so you have exceeded what I can do. I should ask how you got yours to work. ??? I haven't even been able to get an answer from RCA.

Do other inputs to the receiver work? No idea why yours does not. I have our receiver (monitor) connected to HDMI 1 and as the receiver switches inputs the TV displays well. Sorry I cannot help any more.

I do not have any technical expertise, so cannot help y6ou very much, but at least try to chance your output source. If you are having trouble with HDMI, try the component output source. If it works on the component source, leave it there, as it is almost as good as HDMI. Hope this helps. RR

And remember you'll need to feed audio separately. One other thing...make sure your monitor can switch between rgb and YPbPr, your dvd player might be able to do that switch too.

Mine didn't work at all. I bought it to hook together multiple legacy game systems to a TV with one component set of inputs.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

You could always try plugging the other end in. Otherwise just make sure in your sound settings you don't have "internal speakers" selected. You want the sound output going through the HDMI cord. Hope that helps.

There are Aux in and out RCA connectors on the add on external CD/DVD player.... nothing on the receiver it self.... the remote has an Aux select button to select that as input...

My documentation shows that it only have a VGA and DVI input, if you have a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable you can try that way.

Try to go through your setup again to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't help, you'll need to find an authorized repair facility to send it in for repairs as I don't believe the HDMI ports are a user-replaceable item.

Try using an HDMI Splitter. Signal from Source through HDMI Splitter, (1) out to HTPC. Voilà!

I didn't have any luck with this. I had to go a different route for my solution, HDMI/DVI. I hope this helps.

If converting From HDMI (blue ray DvD) to RCA check the following links. Just make sure that the converter says "Input" where the HDMI port is and "OUTPUT" where the RCA jacks are. I tried the cables and they are a waste of money. The converters from EteKcity worked for me but in reverse of what you want to do. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41a-Ybm-BsL.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41h4qXVEBwL.jpg
