I have a receiver with only one HDMI out. Currently it is set to my projector for the big screen. I would like to run a second TV when I have company over. My question is will this allow me to run both when I want them and only 1 when I choose to do so? I don't want both TVs powered on all the time, just ocassionally. Thank you!!

"It distributes the HDMI input into two identical outputs,these two outputs are synchronized." What ever shows up on the projector will show up on the TV. If you only want one you will either have to turn off the TV or Projector, or unplug the HDMI cord going to one or the other.

What you described is exactly the setup I have for The Jazz Room. The splitter allows me to have the TV connected all the time and the Projector when I need it. However, that doesn't mean that I need to leave the TV on all the time if I'm just watching a movie. Basically the splitter gives you a solid signal to two sources that can be turned on and off independent of each other.

I believe zone 2 will take any audio source from the receiver... However, HDMI Out 2 will only mirror what is on HDMI Out 1. It will not let you output two separate video streams. Hope that helps!

In theory, yes, as that is what powered HDMI splitters are supposed to do...take the original signal and amplify it so a clean signal gets to multiple devices. In practice there are sometimes problems when connecting to equipment that is several years old as they may not have implemented the later HDMI standards. For instance, I wanted to send HDMI to a new tv at the end of a 50 ft hdmi cable as well as a four year old 'smart tv' adjacent to the dish receiver. Both tvs would get the same channel although only one would be turned on. The splitter worked fine for the newer tv, but the older one would never have audio UNTIL power was cycled on the splitter. I tried several splitters .... all exhibited the same symptom. Apparently the older tv didn't have the same interface standards as the newer so I do not think ANY splitter would have worked as I intended. Bottom line is you just have to try it. Chances are it will work.

Yes. You can use one of the "projector" outputs for the second independent HD feed. Some of the specifics in your workflow will determine whether this works for you. Feel free to contact us for more details or for training on how to do this.

This is an HDMI switching device. If your intention is to use it simultaneously then it probably won't work for you. Think of this as an A and B channel. To use any device you switch the channel. You can have one monitor and two devices to use each device with the one monitor.

you can connect each to the projector using an HDMI cable but to use both you will need to have a receiver.

No. It is a passive splitter. It will only display the image on one tv if the other is off. If both are on you will not get a image on either. You need a powered (active) splitter to do what you want.

Well the ? I have is do you have a hdmi ready cable box ? If so you have the hdmi cable go from the cable box to the hdmi "out" on the receiver and then you will need another hdmi cable to come from the hdmi IN 3 (cab/sat) and plug that into the back of the tv. It is all done with hdmi cables. This is also the only way to get the set up menu to be viewed on your tv also. This is a great receiver so I hope it works out for you. I have had it for a week and it is so much better then my last 2 onkyo's !

It's not usually possible, though there may be one that can do it. Here's why: Virtually every AV receiver can only have one input selected at a time. The Yamaha RX-A830 has 7 HDMI inputs, and 2 HDMI outputs. You can select only one input at a time. It CAN send that ONE input to TWO different HDMI outputs simultaneously. But that won't solve your problem, since you'll have TWO outputs from your computer(going into the TWO inputs on the receiver). You can convert both computer outputs from vga/dvi to HDMI and have them both going to the receiver (and sending extended display), but you'll only be able to select and view one at a time.

If the receiver has two preouts it is meant for two separate subs. If just running one sub on your system then you just need to use one cable from your receiver to your sub and leave the other preout alone.

This device always sends the input signal to both outputs - there is no switch involved. But I'm not sure why you care. If you're watching one TV the other TV is turned off so why does it matter that the HDMI signal is present at it's input? I use this spitter to sent the signal to a projector and to a TV. I never use both simultaneously. So what? Perhaps you can find a pure HDMI switch that uses no power at all and perhaps costs less money, but there will be some signal loss that may or may not affect picture quality.

In both the PIP and P&P; only one source is changeable, the other one defaults to TV and cannot be changed, so viewing of 2 different HDMI sources is not possible, I messed around with it for a bit and couldn't change it beyond that. I dont know what you mean by "Smart" mode, but like I said, there's 4 HDMI inputs and an HD Component insert that the display defaults to TV, I'm guessing they expect you to plug your cable box through that, personally I only use the HDMI ports and seeing as you cannot use this feature with 2 HDMI sources, I don't use it, hope this answers your question, let me know if you want me to test anything else.Regards, In both the PIP and P&P; only one source is changeable, the other one defaults to TV and cannot be changed, so viewing of 2 different HDMI sources is not possible, I messed around with it for a bit and couldn't change it beyond that.

No there is only one receiver for a TV. I have actually reached out to support to see if you can purchase another receiver and have that work with the main box and they have stated that was not possible.

I just did that very thing. My Samsung Home Theater is also HDMI 1.4 ready so I hooked it up with just the main output from the Panasonic and everything worked just fine, but I keep reading that it's still better to use two cables with the video turned off the (Sub) output. My TV is a LG 3D LED Smarty but it has only one HDMIARC input so I naturally I put the main Panasonics output there. I put the out put from my A/V machine to the HDMI2 hole. That should do it. I haven't tried it yet. I have a brand new copy of "Johnny Depp's Alice in wonderland". I'll let you know how it works.

If you mean watch the same thing on both tv's at the same time, than no, This will not work for you. If you want one input to go to both tv's so you can switch between the 2 tv's, then Yes.For instance. I could hook up my ps3 into this, and have one HDMI go to my TV, and the other HDMI to my computer monitor and switch between the 2 with the switch. But cant view the ps3 on both displays.

Your HDMI video and audio signals will pass through the receiver when it is "off". The receiver does not have to be "on".

Its supposed to share only to 1 screen, like a switch BUT mine shares to my samsung 55D8000 led tv and to a hdmi sending unit that sends signal to a receiver on anorher LG tv in the garage. My DTV reciever feeds it, then out to tv and another out to wireless hdmi sending unit. It did require trying at least 8 different hdmi cables before it worked flawlessly. Maybe cable length and HDMI compatability 1.2, 1.3 , 1.4 had something to do with it. I got dual display but no audio, then not reliable connections, I found that short 3' belkin cables did the trick. For $6 its worth a try
