Will this work to hook my TV & WII to my surround system (it has only 1 component slot)? Wish to have all audio come out of surround system. Thanks.

You need a switchbox for two inputs. this is intendedto go from one output to two. If you run it the other way and both units get turned on at the same time you risk damage to your equipment.

If you can run all the Wii inputs to the TV and then use optical out from the TV to the sound bar. This is how I have mine set up with satellite receiver, Toshiba DVD player/recorder and Amazon Fire TV box. I leave the sound bar input to TV, never have to switch it.

My sound system receiver fried. I would like to hook this directly to my tv or dvd system. Neither of them have speaker jacks. They both have one rca out or multiple s video/audio spots. How does this hook into them? I do not see any outlets other than speaker wire.

No, if you're referring to the Yellow, Red, & White connectors, this will not work. What you can do is get the RCA Component cables for your video game systems (Component cables have the same Red & White connectors for Audio, but replace the "Yellow" video connector with Red, Blue, & Green video connectors). If you do this, you will actually get better signal quality from your video games. I have a DVD Player, PlayStation 2, and Wii hooked up to mine after buying component cables and it works well. I recommend "Mediabridge" cables for your game systems. I find they are excellent quality (great shielding and strong connections) at very good prices.

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.

I used my unit to connect a WII to a TV. The Wii has rca outputs(red, white, and yellow) The Tv only has hdmi inputs. This unit works very well for me. It translates the picture and sound to the TV. Hope this helps.

Your "cd system" may have multiple outputs. U can use a different output and go directly to the surround sound. Or you can get a splitter for the output off this block. Either way as long as you have the same connection type it should be simple.

Turning surround 5.1 to stereo work great. I run my TV audio to my stereo receiver as an option for movies or sports anyway so I didn't notice any difference

You need to hook an optical cable from the receiver to the TV. Then your Wii, Cable box, or any audio that runs through the TV will also run through the receiver. The HDMI is input only, not output for audio. Good Luck.

Hi Ken,Did you try it? Did it work? I want to run the Bluray player or TV HDMI sound out to RCA in to my stereo to get more sound out of my tv.Martha

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.

I don't see how. Its purpose is to connect a computer without surround sound outputs to a surround sound amp. You need something entirely different.

It won't work for sound. the VGA signal is video only, no audio. I tried to use mine for a video connection from a DVD player with component out to a TV with a PC/VGA in port. It didn't work either. Apparently it's a one-way cable from from VGA out to component in, and I've since read that's only if the device with component in will translate that VGA signal to component. ...basically, this cable was a waste of money.

Yes ---- This is NOT recommended as it would upset the built in arrangement. For best results use it as received. You will be surprised at the surround sound you will gwet. GOOD LUCK

I'm not sure if you're asking like you want to watch your TV thru the surround sound or you want to hook up another component either way if you run it through RCA's and run itthrough the auxiliary it works fine

Once u plug the HDMI cable into the wii2hdmi and then into your HD tv u will be able to hear the Wii system coming from your TV's built in speakers... I hope this helped. P.S. An HDMI cable will always allow sound and audio to be played just better and less cables.

I used my optical audio output on my tv to get sound from my wii. Everything else comes from the hdmi inputs. Cable box (Input SAT), roku ( input dvd), and buleray player(input BD) all hooked up hdmi to the sony tower then hdmi to tv. Wii hooked up with component connectors to tv then a optical audio cable from tv to sony tower (input TV).
