i have a sony rear projection tv with component connections and a max resolution of 1080i. with this device connected the xbox one it was only able to work at 720p resolution. so make sure the xbox one is set to 720p. "http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/system/change-tv-display-resolution&q;uot; some people experience an image shift of up to 2" to the left leaving a black border on the right. mine shifted less then an inch.

i too had the same problem when i first connect it to the tv, the very extreme shaking. i blindly set my xbox one to 720p via pictures i found online. the converter will output in the resolution the xbox is set to.

This works great on my ps4 but it does shift the image about an inch to the left. I was able to compensate somewhat with TV adjustment. No screen shaking though

Hey Randall,This unit will work for your setup, however you will need to lower the resolution of your XBOX one to 720P. Since your TV only goes up to 720P resolution, it will not recognize a 1080P source. This unit is made as a pass through unit with no scaling of the image. So the resolution you will put into it, is what will output for it. It will be impossible to feed your Sony TV a 1080P signal. Thank you.

Mr. Dunkle is correct, you will need a "xbox connection kit" (basically a HDMI to RCA cable). So look up "Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable" on Amazon. Read the description to make sure but it should work fine. There are others but that cable should work and it's only 7.95.

You won't lose anything. I did replace my receiver with one that supports HDMI 1.4 to improve the video quality for the Xbox one. When HDMI 2 is released thats when you'll really want to replace your receiver for 4k content (and the included one connect box).

Yes, by selecting the RX-A830 HDMI output to HDMI 1+2. It will output any HDMI input signal thru HDMI output 1 and 2. Just tried this with my Xbox One and it was on two TV inputs at the sametime. Just a reminder, if you're using a pc, the receiver can accept signals upto 1920x1080. I don't think it will accept a higher signal.

I have used this on an older Sony Trinitron and a Mitsubishi 55" WS-65413, to connect HDMI output devices to their Component inputs. It worked for 2 DVD players, and a direcTV box with no problems (both Audio and Video). It would work on an XBOX 360 as long as you never switched it to the other DVD input. If you changed the switch to the other hdmi input, the XBOX would turn off its video output, and would have to be restarted after you switched it back to the xbox from the dvd player. I got an xbox one for the boys for Christmas and cannot get the xbox one to work with it at all. I suspect its related to HDMI copyright protection, but I am just guessing.

Ran into the same problem. Upon close examination of the user-guide (bottom of page 28), and upscaling section on Amazon's product page, please note that upscaling to HDMI will ONLY work if you do not have component cables going to the TV AND the source signal is 480i/576i (so a component signal set to 720p, or 1080i will NOT upconvert). If you set your device (like an XBOX, wii, or whatever) to 480i output, then this Yamaha will upconvert it to HDMI.

Yes, you can connect anything that outputs HDMI I think, so far I just tried my xbox 360 and digital camera, both work just fine. The buttons are on the bottom right-hand side of the bezel, the button that switches from DVI to HDMI is the one furthest to the left. I dont think either ps4 or xbox support 2560x1440 resolution though, some games are even below 1080p on xbox one.

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!

Didn't your xbox come with that cable mine did. As far as using this box. No it will not work. You have an input and output. It only goes out hdmi not in.

Guys I believe I was one of the first people who reported this issue....and eventually gave up on getting any help here....so I pieced together some info myself and solved the riddle. The older model elite and pro versions of the Xbox have some major issues with this receiver. The only way to avoid HDMI handshake issues is to run the HDMI from the Xbox straight to the TV and then run an optical audio cable to the receiver (this is not a bad solution neccesarily bc the Xbox can only output 5.1 audio as is the limitation for an optical audio cable - 7.1 is a PS3 thing bc it is HDMI 1.3a and Xbox 1.2) Anyhoo, I noticed that people with the new Slim Xbox's weren't having this problem. I went to the Xbox forums and found that with the old Xbox's this is a known problem and cannot be fixed. So I got a new Xbox Slim with Kinect. Before hooking it up, I found that the "BD" HDMI slot is the only one with HDMI Passthrough which helps a lot with HDMI handshake issues (this receiver has a 1.4 slot and the Xbox a 1.2 even the new Slim is 1.2). Now I have no problems whatsoever with Netflix movies cutting out or any other issues. So the only resolution is to get a newer model Xbox (Slim). Hope this helps and I wish someone would have been there to tell me that a long time ago to save me a lot of time

I am not sure what the question is but a HDMI signal is digital and component is analog so the two are not compatible.

I'm not sure with the xbox one, but I have it connected to my tv, projector, xbox 360, apple tv and no problems. I have 4 inputs to two outputs and its all HD my home theater tuner is a 5.1 dolby system and it works fine.

Are you trying to watch your Xbox 360 on two televisions? If so it should work fine and there should be no special instructions. If you are trying to ad an input to your single television in order to switch between two different devices one of which is your Xbox360, then you have purchased the wrong item and should have read my review. Return the item and look for an HDMI switch and not an HDMI splitter.

Optical out of XBOX ONE to CineMate works fine and sound nice. My configuration using XBOX ONE, DIRECTV, SAMSUNG SMART TV. From DIRECTV via HDMI to XBOX ONE HDMI pass thru. From XBOX ONE HDMI to Samsung Smart TV. From Smart TV Optical Out to Bose CineMate. In this configuration the sound is great. The added benefit XBOX ONE can turn all components on and off, and also control the volume of the CineMate. Just configure all your components in XBOX ONE.

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.

Micheal Meyer is correct. Mine works fine at 1080P over VGA from the 360. Just got to get rid of the not supported message. See my reply to the post "X-Box 360 1080p doesnt work with this TV"

There are 2 HDMI inputs on the ViewHD, one for 1080i and the other for 1080p. If you haven't done this, try the other input as well. There is also an H1 & H2 switch that apparently has to be in the right position depending on which HDMI input you are feeding into. Just in case, be sure the VGA / Y/Pr/Pb switch is in the latter position. "DTV Input" has a strange connotation in that it suggests it is an input for digital signals. But you also refer to it as "Y/Pr/Pb" so this must mean it is an analog input, and therefore should work coming out of the analog Y/Pr/Pb output from the ViewTV. These are the best suggestions I can make not being there. There is also a trouble-shooting guide in the manual.
