can it plug into the tv with the av connection? and it there a lag?

I believe it needs to plug into an "output" source such as your cable box. You then run cables back to your TV through the device. Most AV connections on a TV are "input". There is little to no audio lag. However, you do need to have a fairly unobtrusive line of sight between your blue-tooth headphones and the device. I had place the device on the floor behind the TV in our bedroom and had connectivity issues. I then moved it to the stand the TV is sitting on and it worked like a charm.

You can, but I was getting fairly substantial distortion. I would have to turn it up very loud to hear dialogue, but then there was a loud buzz.

You can plug into your TV as long as it has AV out connections. There is no lag in the audio.

The AV connectors on your TV are inputs. You need sound output on the TV. In my case I have red/white audio out. You can use the enclosed 3.5 splitter to plug into a headphone jack, but the volume will be low. That might be okay for Bluetooth headphones. If your TV has only optical audio out get a different Bluetooth transmitter.

The tv must have an audio out av connection. Some do but it depends on your TV. There is no delay.

Yes, just run it to your receiver and use the receiver to TV's to connection to your TV's.

There should be an AUDIO OUT place on Tv to plug it in. You may have to purchase a cable.

I use my PS3 with this TV, I don't notice any input lag. It's a great gaming TV in my opinion.

I have an onkyo entertainment center attached to mine. It takes about 30 seconds to get the picture also hooked up to direct tv, so you may want to call tech support.

No--and when I tried hooking it up to my tv with the cable and the adapter I needed (to fit the particular port on my tv) I get a message that says I can't use it---have not yet worked out what is happening there, but have been using it with the included av cables just fine. I'll do that until I figure out what the problem is with hdmi on this television set....but at least you can get up and running until you get an hdmi cable.

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!

No. It requires a digital optical cable (Toslink). Most new TV's have an optical output on them so connection should be simple.

Yes, I purchased this to connect a BluRay player to my HDTV. The TV only has the component plugs while the player has the HDMI

You should not notice an issue with the sound, and if your tv is smart enough you can set the sound to lag a bit as well.

I have had this TV for over a year now and I game on it. I've played Rock Band, The Last of Us, Uncharted, GTA5 and other games, and I have absolutely no problems with lag. Make sure you set it on game mode, however.

I have two different tv's hooked up to it. My old plasma has virtually no lag and my led has lag. I don't think it's due to the splitter though. So, I would say it's not a noticeable difference than before.

By lag I assume you mean doesn't match the video. And for one of the connections when my boyfriend was setting it up he said it did lag andlater he said it went away. I trust his opinion because he edits commercials professionally for a living and so he is somewhat of an expert. The fact that it doesn't now is baffling to me. I just dont have time in my life to fix unreliable products. I need to plug and go. Hope that helps some.

I'm glad you asked this question because I was wondering the same. I have one connecting AppleTV to a Phillips BluRay Home Theater. In my case there is a delay introduced as time progresses but not when the signal is sent initially. And according to the people who answered before me, it seems that my issue is either the receiver or the AppleTV. In my case I can disconnect the cable for a quick second and reconnect and the lag is fixed. Absolutely strange.

No lag at all! Then again I have it connect to the BenQ RL2455HM gaming monitor.

No lag through my computer or through my computer/apple TV. I haven't tried direct connect with TV.
