Very impressed,  works just as expected, 1 HDMI input at 1080p and 4 HDMI outputs at 1080p, clear crisp picture on each channel even with all 4 running, no picture loss at all, I'd definitely buy the 8 channel unit next, good design guys

My Raspberry Pi is the best.  I set it up to be an XBMC server so that I could stream Mashup and 1Channel. It has been worth every penny. The HDMI output is a solid  1080p, and the little Arm processor works wonders using OpenElec has the OS. I have two hard drives connected through the usb but both are stand alone powered external usb drives with 4tbs of space. Movies Galore!

Excellent HDMI switch! This unit works even when it is not plugged into a power source (remote won't work without a power source hooked up to the HDMI switch) Even without power hooked up to it, it still switches to the most recently connected display device automatically, and the physical button on top of the unit works without external power as well.  I have it hooked up to my security system, and two computers. You hardly ever have to switch the sources because the automatic switching works very well. I will be buying another one for my entertainment system.

this thing is amazing, while not HD, it still packs a punch, i read that it goes up to 60" from 10 feet and was sold, when it arrived and i set it up i realized i had 14ft and got a 72" screen and it was still clear!!!! Perfect for games, and adusting brightness in game helps out alot, games that have night sequences can sometimes get hard (especially shooters) has a built in speaker that packs a punch as well, but if you buy RCA to stereo adaptors for your gaming system or dvd player you can plug into a nice stereo, you will need a female to female piece for extension though, otherwise everything will be too crammed (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cables-To-Go-03170-3-5mm-Stereo-Coupler-F-F/dp/B00007FGUF/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cables To Go - 03170 - 3.5mm Stereo Coupler F/F</a>) (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cables-To-Go-40645-3-5mm-Stereo-Male-To-2X-RCA-Female-Adapter/dp/B000J1H4VI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cables To Go - 40645 - 3.5mm Stereo Male To 2X RCA Female Adapter</a>) these two items will work perfect (if you have a 1/4 stereo jack and not 1/8th buy these two items (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hosa-GPM-103-3-5mm-TRS-to-1-4-TRS-Adaptor/dp/B000068O3T/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hosa GPM-103 3.5mm TRS to 1/4" TRS Adaptor</a>) (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/American-Recorder-Technologies-1-4-Female-to-1-4-Female-Stereo-Adapter-Nickel/dp/B0018SQ692/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">American Recorder Technologies 1/4 Female to 1/4 Female Stereo Adapter Nickel</a>) in addition to the RCA adaptor, or these two (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Recoton-CW1521-Audio-1-4-to-1-8-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B00006HOIW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Recoton CW1521 Audio 1/4" to 1/8" Stereo Adapter</a>)  (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cables-To-Go-03170-3-5mm-Stereo-Coupler-F-F/dp/B00007FGUF/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cables To Go - 03170 - 3.5mm Stereo Coupler F/F</a>) with addition of the RCA adaptor, that should fix your problem. You will need to plug into something that can amp it up though, do not just plug strait into speakers or headphones, you will hear little to nothing at all, pretty much no volume control, so just get somthing to plug into that has that and you'll be good, other than that, this thing is awesome and i cant wait for skyrim to be out so i can play it like a real gamer, 24/7 on a screen thats as big as my wall with 7.1 surround sound, i'ma hear a dragon from miles away hehehehe

This is the adapter you need if you have a little older ATI video card with HDMI capabilities.  The first one I bought didn't include the audio signal.  After further research, I found that I needed an ATI proprietary adapter...something about the way they build it includes the audio signal.

Who cares, it works!!!

I have found the RCA ANT 1650F/1650R to be of very good performance. I purchased and installed one of these on each of my two  television sets. One television set is a flat screen 32" JVC digital LCD. The other is an old-fashion 27" SANSUI analogue, which required a digital converter box. I was  pleased, and I am still pleased, with their performance. However, out of curiosity, I purchased and  tested the RCA passive ANT 1600F on each of my television sets, i.e. the 32" JVC digital LCD and the old-fashion 27" SANSUI.  The RCA ANT 1600F is also multi-directional, but it does not come with an amplifier. However, in spite of its lack of an amplifier, I have found the RCA ANT 1600F to be very powerful and with impeccable picture quality. While the RCA amplified ANT 1650F/1650R provided me with, no more than, 20 clear channels,  I receive, at least, 25 and 29 clear channels respectively with the RCA 1600F.  Moreover, I have found the RCA ANT 1600F  to be really MULTI-DIRECTIONAL. I have both of mine in the upright position, and I still receive, at least, 25 and 29 clear channels respectively. I have, therefore,  returned the two RCA amplified 1650F/1650R, and installed permanently the RCA passive ANT 1600F. My neighbours, on the other hand, own a different brand of indoor antenna, but they can barely receive 12 channels, at best.

I have the HDMI to Component/VGA flavor and it works perfectly for what I needed.  I'm only using the VGA with the digital audio out.  Not the analog audio or the component video out.  Note that there is a switch on the back to set which video out you want to use (wasn't exactly obvious to me that it was there.)  Another caveat with my setup is that I'm using a HDMI splitter that has the side effect of stripping out HDCP.  I found that I had troubles with some of my devices and HDCP, so you might consider getting a splitter if you have sync/display issues, especially when going between menus and then to playing content.  Great price... it wasn't many years ago when you had to pay a small fortune for something that does what this device does.

The mediabridge Ultra Series High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet is far superior to the other grades out in the market.  By accident i tried a less infearior brand and i got cut-outs on my video system.  I switched to the best and most grateful.

Great all round player.  I have this hooked up via HDMI to a 42" Plasma @ 1080i.  Though this model doesn't sport the Faroudja video chip, the up-conversion and de-interlace look quite a bit better than the chip in the Plasma (Hitachi), which is saying something, as the Hitachi's native up-conversion of SD KILLS the cable company's 1080i feed of the same SD programming.

There's also about a zillion ways to hook this up to a surround sound system, the best being over HDMI,  but the fact that it has 7.1 analog output is awesome.  It can play back sacd and hdcd content too!

I've used the USB port without any problems for playing back mpeg and Divix video as well as large jpgs taken with a DSLR.  Flawless!  Great player if you've got a lot invested in your DVD collection and are still sitting out the format wars (like me).  Highly recommended.

There were a few mixed reviews on this but I decided to give it a try since most were positive. I have to say I'm very impressed by this unit. I have the output signal from my Sony receiver being split to 1) Sony 46" LCD with a 25' HDMI cable and 1) Samsung 42" plasma with a 15' HDMI cable for the pool room. There is a slight lag when you change inputs and I can see how you might have an issue if you have a TV that turns off when no signal is present. Mine just said "no signal" for a few moments and then came on. The quality of the signal is outstanding. I thought there would be a little signal loss, but there was none that I could notice. Additionally, audio was also split and worked perfect. On the plasma I have a fiber optic cable going from the audio out port on the TV to another receiver for that room and the audio from the HDMI was output through that port and into the receiver for that room. The surround sound worked perfect in both rooms, on both TV's, on both receiver's.

I have used both my PS3 and my cable box and both worked perfect. I would highly recommend this unit. One thing I am doing is unplugging it when I don't need to split video. I do notice that even if the other TV isn't turned on, this unit still appears to be transmitting. I figured the few moments it takes to hook it back up is worth possibly extending the life of the product.

When I had HDMI port issues on my previous unit, I went with old faithfully branded device and I've not regretted it or looked back. This is a good, powerful, unit with all the current bells and whistles.

I have 3 digital amplified digital antennaes and this one seems to produce the best results (all other things being equal). I'm able to view ~15-20 cable networks in full HD quality on a general basis.

This unit replaces my great Yamaha Dolby Digital 5.1 that I owned without one hiccup for over 10yrs. I wanted to continue with the Yamaha brand for my next receiver, but was surprised this past Xmas when opening up the 6300. I was so excited, ran out the next day and picked up 16 gage wire, which I recommend over the suppled cables that for me are 1. too short 2. too thin 3. loss of sound quality.. the higher number gage cable the lesser in quality, I believe the supplied cables are 24 or 26 gage. I would've picked it up on here, but couldn't wait... Advice never buy wire from Best Buy, big rip off!! Got some celling mounts for the back 2 rear and I was all set to go. BTW if you're going to need to pick up some HDMI cables ver. 1.4 you don't have to search far for them.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/PTC-Premium-Gold-Series-High-Speed-HDMI-Cable-6-feet-3-Pack/dp/B003BROICK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">PTC Premium Gold Series High Speed HDMI Cable, 6 feet (3-Pack)</a>&nbsp;Not only will you save a ton of money on them, you will also get some excellent quality cables and thats 3 of them for half the price of 1!
A suggestion is to make sure you read the manual throughly before running. As always I play psychic when setting up my electronics which I am usally good with, but with this Amp. It became more time consuming than necessary. You should run the Audyssey before you just start listening to anything. I like this feature a lot though i wasn't totally thrilled on the volume settings it gave in the surrounds, but It was easily fixed manually via the set up menu.
Now what I always loved with my Yamaha was It's DSP effects, such as "Movie Theater" and "Hall" (for concerts) I loved the echo and reverb effects in that amp. Sadly to my disappointment this Onkyo 6300 amp doesn't have one DSP effect that simulates any sound space as the Yamaha did. This Amp does have DSP presets, but not at all to what i was expecting. This Amp sounds completely awesome otherwise, but with some Blu-Rays such as concerts as when played with the Yamaha, I loved their DSP Hall effect that would simulate being actually in a stadium, this option is lacking on this amp and I'm finding myself missing these effects a lot. Like the Yamaha "Movie Theater" DSP would broaden the sound field and would really give you a feeling of being in a big old movie palace. Loved it and miss it. Now a lot of people could care less about these extras, If so this Amp you won't go wrong with. As I said this has fantastic sound and decodes all DTS Master, TrueHD etc.!
It upconvets all video sources to 1080p and has 4 hdmi inputs and producing a very nice picture. Comes with 7 speakers that are very good, but not great and a overly large woofer. The main surrounds I have on stands just look too big and I may update them onto the wall in the future as I have the 2 back surround hanging down from the celling. BTW they sound better than Bose IMO.. remember Bose is overrated...truly!
The Ipod port extra is great but I thought the on screen interface for it could've been better. There is also an HDRadio port add on you can pick up for extra $, which I would like, but not for It's current selling price which is over $100, why wasn't it just built in? I would rather have those missing DSP effects than the radio If I had the choice. In all I think this is a great product for the money and it does have awesome sound quality, but If I didn't get this as a great Xmas present I would have went with a Yamaha.
I wonder if there is anyway Onkyo can make another port attachment that could make those DSP effecrs possible? :)

Bought 3 RCA antennas from Amazon and 2 from BestBuy years ago.  They all wotk well.  All tvs pick up over 50+ channels.  Connect and place antenna close to window and away from electric pole/obstructive/static object.  Scan channels periodically and adjust the antenna accordingly to get optimal HD picture quality.  Recommend!

This is a great cable that truly supports 4K@60Hz with HDR at 25 feet. It is certified by HDMI.org (which can be checked using the QC code and their HDMI.org app). Although, non-certified cables "might" work, the extra few dollars spent on a certified one is well worth it. I tried 2 different non-certified cheaper cables, and I was only able to achieve 4K@24Hz and no HDR. My setup is as follows: 4K Blu-ray/Roku/Tivo/PC/HD DVD connected to Denon X1300W connected to Vizio P65-C1 via this Cable Matters HDMI cable using ARC. Here are some pros, cons and suggestions:

Pros:
1. Full 4K@60Hz with HDR at 25 feet RGB 4:4:4. Other long HDMI cables (>20 feet) might claim these numbers, but they fall short.
2. Much cheaper than the alternative HDMI over fiber (> USD 100). Also cheaper than monoprice certified HDMI 25ft cable.
3. White color, which blends well with walls.
4. The cable is very thick, which means good signal isolation. When transmitting high data signals, isolation is very important to achieve a clean delivery of data.

Cons:
1. The cable is very thick and heavy, so it is a bit tricky to manage such a thick cable in corners or through walls. It is doable, but get a bigger cable management raceway.

Suggestions:
1. Try not to bend the cable too much at corners, it might cause some signal cross-talk. A bend is OK, but don't force 90deg.
2. Set LG UP970 to 60Hz and use YCbCr. BTW No Dolby Vision yet for LG970!
3. Make sure your Vizio has the Full HD Color enabled in input HDMI options. In other TVs, it is called true black or deep black/color.
4. Your AV receiver must be able to pass 4K@60Hz with HDR or Dolby Vision
5. Use shorter HDMI cables to connect media devices to the AV receiver. Shorter cables don't need to be certified.
6. Enable ARC through CEC on Vizio (only if ARC is used)
7. Enable ARC on AV receiver (only if ARC is used)

I hope this helps!

As a retired television engineer, in my search for the best DTV device, this was my 3rd DTV converter purchase.  It is the best of the three purchased.  It has the best sensitivity in its receiver, and is the fastest to scan all channels to find those DTV channels operating in your area.  It also has the ability to manually "add" a channel which is known to be operational in your market, but which may have too low a signal strength to be automatically added when the unit is set to the auto "scan" mode.  Only one of the two units I purchased previously had the manual add feature.  My only disappointment with the unit was that the Amazon ad stated that this receiver had RF Feed-Thru, which means that when the unit was switched OFF, the antenna input would be connected to the unit RF output, effectively connecting the antenna directly to your TV set.  Alas, my unit does not have this function.  This is necessary as long as every TV station in the nation has not yet completed its change to the digital format.  The original Feb. 19th cutoff, as you may know, has been extended until summer by Washington.

Using the 1x2 HDMI mini. Amazingly works great.
