can you route HDMI to a television and spdif to an audio source at the same time?

Yes you can. Use a toslink optical cable from your ViewHD spdif out to your receiver. Make sure your hdmi to TV is connected to one of the HDMI A out, since sound is only output through the A out port.

Yes, you can. I have the same setup you described and it works. HDMI connected to a flat screen TV and at the same time have the SPDIF connected to my surround receiver and both can output sound simultaneously using the View HD switch. You have to check the menu on your bluray/DVD/ cable box supports sending the audio out on both outputs at the same time. Hope that info helps.

Yes. That's how I use it. I use a front projector display with HDMI and a surround processor with only spdif inputs.

I have the same question - has someone tried to connect their TV's optical output to this device's SPDIF input? Please please, someone let me know.

Yes you can, you just have to assign which source will come out from each hdmi output

I really don't think that the 3.5mm audio out Jack supports SPDIF, but Why would you want to use SPDIF from the projector? if you want to use SPDIF that means you will be using a receiver in conjunction with your projector and Video source. What I do is simply connect all my devices to my receiver (input), then run cables from that receiver to the projector(output). The receiver then handles all of the sound and the projector only the video. Since I have the projector mounted on the ceiling it makes it way easier in case i need to change a video source. Your receiver has to have an output like what would normally go to your TV.

Output 1 (Labeled A) will send sound to SPDIF-out while Output 2 (Labeled B) will carry sound only via HDMI-out. I hope that helps.

Hi Renee! This can be done using the "Video Out" feature. This allows you to select a video source to be displayed in conjunction with the current audio source. As an example, this is how you would assign a CD player (AUDIO 1), to play with a cable box (HDMI 2): 1) Set the input to AUDIO 1 2) On the remote, press 'OPTION' to display the on-screen menu 3) Select "Input Settings" then "Video Out", then select "HDMI 2" 4) Press 'OPTION' to exit the menu After changing this setting, video from HDMI 2 would be displayed anytime the AUDIO 1 input is selected.

I recommend you don't do this if the two inputs are used at the same time. This will cause a degradation of the sound from both of them due to patial signal cancellation. To do this, you need a combiner such as a Pro AV2. However, this device uses 1/4" inputs to a single 1/4" out but it properly combines the two signals. "Y" connectors such as the one you've asked about are designed as splitters; not combiners.

If have HDMI coming out of your computer, I don't think this is what you want. This box takes Component Video (YPbPr) and Digital Audio (SPDIF) and converts it to an HDMI signal.

I tried using this device - and it worked converting Component to HDMI... but had an issue with Audio. HDMI image displayed correctly - but no audio. That made the device useless for me... did not play with it again. For your question - If you compare image 2 (front of box) and image 4 (rear of box) - coax appears to be output - alongside HDMI and SPDIF... so, though I didn't test coax... I would guess no to your question - as it appears coax is output - not input.

I have not found this to be possible - only two at a time.I typically do 2 DVI or 1 DVI + HDMI.

I've never done that, but I'll give you a qualified "I think so." This is based on the fact that when I go to the sound properties, I see there is a "SPDIF In" recording device, as well as a SPDIF In port on the back of the unit. I'd defer to someone else who's done that though since I don't know for certain.

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

Are you planning on having them both hooked up, to the speakers, at the same time? I've never tried that before, but it would be fairly easy to wire in a source selection switch to help prevent them from affecting each other.

No. The only inputs are the three component inputs, and your choice of spdif inputs (optical or "coax" sound). You'd need some sort of tuner to convert the signal from the coax cable, like a set-top box. There are other devices around that do that, but this isn't one of them. I have a Yamaha stereo receiver with hdmi inputs and one hdmi output. This little device lets me connect an old Panasonic DVR with a component output to the Yamaha, and then just switch devices on the TV with the Yamaha remote (media pc, blu-ray player, DVR).

I believe you can. I've run other HDMI devices through the second input and they worked fine. The only thing I'm not sure about is if the second input has the passthrough option which means you may have to leave the BD player turned on for the signal to go through.

Yes it can, however as I just learned, you cannot have another HDMI source playing at the same time.
