My DVD player has high definition component video out - will the video signal be routed to HDMI out and if so, will there be any signal loss?

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

No signal loss should occur on any HDMI output on the DVD player (did you mean Blu-Ray player?), it should simply transmit the signal straightforwardly to the HDMI input (you assign it) on the receiver.

It should as with any other... your TV needs to have either RCA out puts (red, yellow, white) or an optical out put (square looking plug) and those should output anything thats on the TV to the surround system. The HDMI hook up is for watching DVD's in the drive from the surround sound system, and thats why the sounds is from the DVD's only.

most dvd players has a hdmi connector at the back, so simply take your hdmi cable out from back of your cable box or satellite box and plug it to your dvd

No, it does not. ): Component inputs HAS to be component out, and it is the same for everything else. HDMI out only works for HDMI inputs and so forth.

Yes. You will only get video without the sound through the cable That is the difference between DVI and HDMI.

Yes you can but you have to make sure you have the right one. I run HDMI from the dvd player to the TV. My audio out on the TV is coax and the audio in on my soundbar is an optical audio. I used this to convert coax audio from the TV to optical audio on the soundbar and it works great. You can also get one that converts optical audio to coax audio, so you have to be careful that you get the right one.

No, you did the right thing. There isn't really any difference between component cables and HDMI. 91 bucks seems pricey, I bought one a year ago for 30 bucks. The only advantage over HDMI is it carries both audio and video. Also when HDCP is implemented you don't have to worry about your videos not playing over component, but that won't be done for years.

yes, it has composite video(rca cable), super video in/output and component video output. it lacks the hdmi input. your hd tv had all this inputs that you can connect to the dvd recorder. If you connect your HD TV to the Component Video Out of the Recorder you'll get HD 720P (3 WIRE RED,GREEN,& BLUE RCA PLUG) it's the second best Video signal to HDMI 1080P HD.

If I understand your question correctly, if you connect your component in cord (red, blue, green) from, say, your dvd player to the receiver, the receiver will upconvert the picture to your tv using hdmi out from receiver to your television. Hope this helps.

Again, like the previous answer, I'm not quite sure I understand your question also. But as for my answer this unit does not up convert the signal. For example, I used this because my components stopped working so I needed a way to connect my xbox 360 again to the tv. I had plug in this unit to my HDMI port and then plug my xbox 360 into the component input on the unit. Therefore, I had a way to watch/play games again. Hopefully that makes sense.

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but my issue is with component input from satellite receiver and especially when there are changes in screen format at commercial break, and/or heavy action scenes like bright flashes/explosions, etc. I DO not find that there are any issues with hdmi input from my blu-ray player or DVD/VCR.Appears to me that there is an issue processing the action quickly enough. I contacted Onkyo online a month ago and never received a reply.

In short, No. These cables are a simple pass-through/straight type cable, not a signal conversion. HDMI = digital; component/composite = analog. So the signal being passed through is digital.If your tv has the ability to convert the digital signal to analog via component/composite ports, then this cable will work. Again the cable cant do any converting. Hope this better answers your question. (Update: I tried it on my nephews Wii U (hdmi out from Wii u to component tv) and when changing the wii display setup to hdmi, selected 720 (what his tv supported) or auto, Wii U said not supported and reverted back to his non-hdmi settings) In short, No. These cables are a simple pass-through/straight type cable, not a signal conversion.

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.

yes hdmi is for both video and audio signal. make sure the receiver is set to the right input.

I know of no reason why not - once the Data Stream has been converted from Digital [HDMI] with the Video and Audio information separated to Analog Composite [aka RCA], the receiving equipment will not know the difference between this converted signal and any other [normally] generated RCA information.

It is true that component cables or an HDMI cable help with video quality, however, you'll not need (or even be able to use) these cables to connect your basic cable incoming signal. If you subscribe to a premium cable service such as "digital cable" then you'll also have a cable box (decoder) which would offer you the option to use component or HDMI cables to connect your cable service to your TV. Otherwise, it isn't even an option.Should you also choose to connect your DVD/VCR/computer to your TV then the comments posted here by other posters would be relevent--that being that you could use component or HDMI cables to connect THOSE devices to your TV with a resultant improvement in your video quality.Al It is true that component cables or an HDMI cable help with video quality, however, you'll not need (or even be able to use) these cables to connect your basic cable incoming signal.

It must be a direct connection. The HDMI signal is not being converted into any type of network protocol that would be necessary for routing.
