Can I take the output of a Denon 2910 (HDCD capable) through this switch to an amp without HDMI, but toslink and coax input, & hear HDCDs as intended?

I would contact Monoprice support to confirm this, but I don't think that will work. I think that you would need another device connected to the output of the switch to handle the HDCP handshaking. Such as a TV with HDMI and HDCP. Monoprices online chat customer service is pretty knowledgeable about these products.

That should work provided it is compatible with your device. I returned mine because it was not compatible with my PC.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but I think the answer is no.If you are connecting your player to a preamp or receiver, you would go directly from one tothe other using the SPDIF or RCA connector. Why bother putting this in between? If you need to goto a power amp, you can't. This is not a pre-amp, nor is is it a D/A converter. It has not volume controls.Lastly, you can't use your DVI- connector, since that does not carry sound. Perhaps I don't understand fully, but I hope that was helpful.

Yes you can but you won't get Dolby Digital that way you will only get surround. You need to turn the tv speaker off to get Dolby Digital pass through from your HDMI device. Under digital audio out in the sound menu with the tv speaker off choose DTS NEO 2:5.

Yes. I have the exact setup you describe. I hear audio through the HDMI to my TV, and can turn on the stereo receiver and change the switch to 5.1 when I want surround sound. One point is, there is a slight audio delay between the HDMI and fiber outputs depending on the switch being on 2ch or 5.1ch. If the Monoprice is on 2ch, the tv is muted, and the receiver is turned on, the audio is slightly (milliseconds) out of sync with the video signal. But if I'm using the receiver and the Monoprice is on 5.1, the audio is synced up.

No. The only inputs are the three component inputs, and your choice of spdif inputs (optical or "coax" sound). You'd need some sort of tuner to convert the signal from the coax cable, like a set-top box. There are other devices around that do that, but this isn't one of them. I have a Yamaha stereo receiver with hdmi inputs and one hdmi output. This little device lets me connect an old Panasonic DVR with a component output to the Yamaha, and then just switch devices on the TV with the Yamaha remote (media pc, blu-ray player, DVR).

I purchased this recently and can answer the audio output question - it is digital toslink only - there are a ton of digital to rca converters for $15 or so if this is a problem.

Nope. You want this instead: C2G / Cables To Go 40018 Coaxial to Toslink Optical Digital Audio Converter

Why would you want to? Hi def sound sent to a fuzzy analog tv...don't do it. You have defeated the purpose of buying the Denon amp.

Hi Kevins8! unfortunately this projector does not have an Optical Toslink Output. Only has an 3.5 jack output for sound. I don't know which connection you would like to do, but I give you mine, as an example: PC (Media Center, XBMC) audio & video output through HDMI v.1.4 to Yamaha AV Receiver (with 3D support feature) and video output through HDMI v1.4 to Projector. Regards! Tomás M.

Yes, you need to buy an optical to RCA converter as I did...FIIO D3 (D03K) Digital to Analog Audio Converter with SMI Gold Plated 6ft Optical TOSLink Cable and RCA-to-3.5MM Audio Cable- 192kHz/24bit Optical and Coaxial DAC

As far as I can tell your Denon does not have multi-channel pre-amp outputs. So there is no way to connect an outboard amplifier to your receiver.

Yes. I bought this in order to have surround sound for a media player (in my case, a projector) that did not have audio outputs. This let me convert HDMI to AV without any issue. Then I was able to route the AV cable to an amplifier.

Yes. I converts to stereo output automatically from the input even if it is 5.1 7.1 etc. In fact you will need it if you have a device that only does stereo on the HDMI when you want the volume up on that device too while getting 5.1 etc to other devices like your stereo.

You'll still be able to use the surround outputs, but not the ones bypassed by your amp

My Denon amplifier does not have your problem. The sound bar will only sound as good as the source

If you do not have an ARC HDMI connection on your TV use the digital output on your TV to the digital Input on your receiver with a Toslink cable. This is what I had to do and it works perfectly.

I got rid of my Denon receiver but I believe you can. The HDMI has a signal feed back the send audio signal out of the TV over HDMI into the receiver. Most receivers have this feature. If I remember correctly there should be a button on the Denon remote control marked 'TV'. Just press this button and you should here the TV audio over you speakers that are connected to your receiver.

Hello Lobsterinthesun. I purchased one of these and it does what it needs to do. It will convert a digital audio output into an analog signal. I needed this to convert the digital output from a TV to an analog input to a PS3 unit. It will take either a Toslink digital output or a coaxil digital output and convert it to an analog output. All you would need to do is to take a set of RCA cables from the output of this unit and plug it into your receiver.
