Can you listen to the tv with the reciever turned off. If you have your dish hd box hooked into the reciever via hdmi, can you use the hd box, and tv with out the home theater system being turned on.

Yes you can. There's a "by-pass" audio option that allows the signal - including audio to go from the source (cable box/dish box), through the receiver, and to your TV (using HDMI cables). This works very well for me when I don't need the surround system on.

yes you can. It has a pass thru features that enable you to do it. I can watch cable tv, dvd and ps3 even the receiver is turn off.

If you where unable to then you didn't select the pass thru option on the receiver. I'm able to watch Satellite, PS3 and my 360 without having the system on.

If you are using a Dish network remote try a power scan, that is while the tv is on: 1. Press and hold the clear/gray "TV" button on the upper left of the remote up until the mode buttons next to "TV" turn on, when that happens let go of the "TV" button. 2.Press the BIG red power button (NOT the little red TV button) then let go of it. 3.Press CHANNEL UP once every second, everytime you press CHANNEL UP the remote will send a code to the tv and if the last code sent to the tv works the tv will turn off. 4.As soon as the tv turns off press the POUND (#) button to save that last code sent. Turn the tv on by pressing the little red "TV" button and once its on try your volume. I hope it helps.

I have a new HDTV and it only has the optical output. We went from the cable box to the TV with HDMI, but I also want to connect to a home theater system. My receiver is an older one and does not have HDMI or optical. Can I just use the left- right audio outputs that are on the back of the cable box for the audio receiver as well as using the HDMI for the television??? Sal

Yes, absolutely, but it will not stream in HD because the dish is NOT an HD dish. This means you can use your HD receiver with it and you will get all your programing but it will stream STANDARD. We use our home HD receiver with ours and get all our programing wherever we go after setting it up. It takes me about 15 minutes to do all the set up. Good Luck.

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

Yes, I have both a directv unit and a dvd hooked up to it and then the tv. I just don't turn on the receiver if I just want the tv speakers.

You do not connect directly from Satellite dish to TV, you run RG6 Coaxial cable from Sat LNB to receiver then you connect receiver to TV for best quality use HDMI cable.

Not ours. There are cables that plug into the back of the sound box from our DISH satellite, but the sound bar has a separate power remote and also a power button on top of it (in case you cannot find the remote)

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

I'll try to answer, the connection goes into Optical Digital Audio Out (amplifier needed with this RCA Ant) I'm not sure where your Dish connects to. I know I have to change on my remote menu Cable to TV Antenna selection. Not sure if I helped at all.

If you have an analog tv you have to buy a converter box that enables you to get hd signals. If your tv does not have the cable connection on the tv, you cannot use this device. The only alternative is to get a satellite dish and receiver box from directv which allows your tv to pick up hd signals.

there s only 1 receiver that works with it from dish I think. you can call dish nework about this. They will be glad to give you the info you are asking about. thanks

Yes. it's a different dish and transducer for HD. Not only that, but the DISH HD satellite is in a different orbit, so the dish would need to be realigned to the HD satellite.

When I power on the receiver is on the hdmi input that was set when I turned it off. I don't know if you can make one input the default when powered on? But would like to know if you can...I use the iPad Pioneer iControlav app which makes switching the input and controlling the receiver very easy.

You should be able to run an hdmi cable from the reciever to the tv and make sure the sound settings on the tv are set to output to the hdmi and make sure your box is turned on and set to the hdmi input

I presume you can do that. Mine is part of my home theater system. I turn the TV off if I just want to listen to CDs. However, I tune in to the music channels on my cable service to listen to a lot of music.

I regret that I am not familiar with "dish receiver" technology. You may go to the Pyle website to ask this question.
