With this guy, you must switch inputs on TV, receiver doesn't convert component to HDMI signal. From receiver you will have 2 sets of wires to TV: HDMI for HDDVD

To the best of my knowledge, this receiver will not convert analog signals to HDMI, so you will have to change the TV input over when you switch from DVD to Wii.

You should be able to hook up a standard 3-wire cable to the TV as well. I have a Samsung HDTV, and the connections are set up to be 5 or 3 wire. For example, we had our Wii connected via a 3-wire component cable to the TV, and now we have our 5-wire DVR connected to the component connection.

No, this device converts component video output to HDMI. It's the opposite of what you're looking for. First you need to confirm what input types your standard def TV has. The best standard def input type is component video, which has 3 dedicated video RCA jacks (Red, Blue & Green - AKA: RGB). The next best standard input type is S-video, which is a round jack with several pin holes and one square hole to make sure you plug it in correctly and don't damage the cable's pins. The 3rd best connection would be the Coaxial (F-type) input used for cable tv and the least best standard def video connection is 1 Composite Video rca jack, which is usually yellow. Once you confirm which is your best video input for your TV, then you can search for a cable that connects (converter not likely needed) HDMI to that connection type. For instance, a cable that is HDMI to Component video, HDMI to S-video, HDMI to Coaxial (F-type), or HDMI to composite video.

Component can support 1080p, but the current agreements between hardware manufacturers caps implemented resolution at 1080i. This is in order that HDCP over HDMI be allowed to reign supreme over all our media content viewings. If they enabled 1080p over Component, then there would be easy(er) ways to bypass the DRM on High-Def discs and programming.So I doubt you're getting 1080p over component unless you've done some hacking.

D. Yang, you are incorrect. 1080p can also go through component cables as well as vga, dvi, and hdmi. Component 1080p is not always supported by the display, but the cables have no problems. the samsung lcd ln-s4095 accepts 1080p through the component input for example. hdcp is a set of guidelines that dictate how a digital HD signal are protected over hdmi or dvi. hdmi is specifically engineered to meet the restrictions. DVI is almost identical digital cable except for no audio and a different connector. DVI can adapt to HDMI without conversion. Component is analog and not digital, therefore it has no hdcp restriction implementations. This may be why some companies do not allow 1080p over component. If a monitor can except 1080p from component then there is no problem. another point to make is that the ICT restriction flag is not yet turned on, so broadcast or media content is not yet even restricted. So while hdcp compliance is a probable future necessity, it is not yet a reality. For those wanting 1080p from an xbox 360, look no further than vga or component for right now. I believe a digital connection will be available soon enough though. The xbox is capable of true digital HD, so a hdmi cable may be here soon. Ask MS.

What you need is a component to hdmi converter. It has a power supply and actively converts the signal. This is analog cable for devices that put out analog over hdmi. For what it is worth, I had an old xbox 360 and it ran 1080p over component to HDTV. I assume you are out of component ports?

I looked up your television model you only have one slot for component cables just plug in the matching colors red to red white to white green to green blue to blue etc. Cables work great. Make sure to change wii settings to 480p under settings

Works for my set up with both audio and video. Receiver output is split into two other components. Both audio and video. Must understand, with my set up, this is NOT HDTV. I never tried to split component for HDTV, so not sure if that would work. Just video and left/right audio.

This is a HDMI Splitter... Meaning you take the output of one device (like a Satellite Receiver) and then split that signal to multiple TV's. If you TV only has 2 HDMI inputs and you need another one, why not consider using the Component Inputs on the TV, it will give you a good HD picture... Hope this helps...

Is it possible to pass through component video such as a Wii to HDMI on this unit. I know the VSX-919AH-K can do it. I would put these 2 in the same class. I just need a pass through from Component to HDMI, do not need the up-conversion. I really like the Onkyos ability to regulate sound such as TV commercials to normal levels, I really really hate this when watching TV. I have 2 old Kenwood THX receivers that cant do anything about it and only support Component video.

rahvatech, This model has both composite and component outputs as well as HDMI. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

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.

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."

You can't convert to HDMI from component. You need a HDMI output to HDMI input. Buy a new source unit. Oh, only use Revision 1.4 HDMI Cables to support 3D speed.

As far as I know nothing is even broadcast in 1080p. I've tested both connections Component and hdmi with my HD cable which is 1080i and the difference is not even visible.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

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.
