Does this receiver allow passive pass-thru in stand by mode? I want to be able to watch TV without turning this ON(audio thru TV).

Yes. Set HDMI Control->On and Standby Through->On or Auto. It will then pass through both video and audio while in Standby mode. I have my RX-V577 unit set up this way. This is covered on page 83 of the owner's manual.

Your HDMI video and audio signals will pass through the receiver when it is "off". The receiver does not have to be "on".

can you use the tv speakers without having to turn the receiver on? from what I have read you have to have the receiver on. can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thanks for your question. The receiver passes Airplay audio only. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

I assume you are referring to zone 2. I have also encountered some limitations regarding what can passed through. There is some information (complaints) in some of the feedback about this unit with some unhappy customers. I limit what can be played in zone two to either internet radio (via the receiver)or music from my Sony TV with an Ethernet connection which is connected to the receiver via HDMI. I was unable to pass through from one source but I cannot recall what it was. The manual is of limited use and the help desk people from onkyo are also uninformed. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I just checked this, and I answered incorrectly The unit must be on to view TV So the answer is no, unless the unit is powered on and the correct input selected, it will not pass any signal

The instruction manual, which I viewed as a pdf on the Onkyo website is a little ambiguous when it comes to a pass-through signal, I know this unit is a repeater so direct pass-through is unlikely; there is an option to have the amp pass the sound to the TV and simply turn down the A/V amp volume; but the unit has to be on; I didn't see any mention of it working with the unit turned off. I can't tell you any more at this point as I haven't received the unit yet; should arrive tomorrow!

I really can't answer this for sure as I do not use my receiver with a TV or sound bar etc...it is strictly used in my home theater so that feature is not used. however, I did use it to do the initial setup and had it connected for a few days with no problems as others have mentioned.

Hello Susan, This reciever does support HDmi pass through, but this will depend on what type of media your are trying to support.

Hello, Yes there is. You have to go to the menu and go to the HDMI settings. There is a pass through option. I am not sitting in front of my equipment right now so I am going by memory but you will see it. Let me know if you need anymore help.

You need a TV connected so that your receiver can have a signal. Should be fine when you get your TV connected. I have seen that message before.

Is there a pass through feature for battery operated emergency TV? good question

Yes. Even when the receiver is off, it will pass a 3D signal through to the TV.

If you where unable to then you didn't select the pass thru option on the receiver. I'm able to watch Satellite, PS3 and my 360 without having the system on.

Your TV probably has HDMI CEC enabled (control via HDMI) and it keeps "asking" your receiver to pay attention to it. I had a similar problem until I turned this "feature" off in my TV setup. Turning it off will disable the HDMI CEC pass through to your TV though (when the receiver is in standby/off mode), so if you want to use your TV speakers WITHOUT using the speakers connected to your receiver, you will have to leave the receiver powered on and change the HDMI audio parameter using the remote: receiver-&gt;audio parameter-&gt;HDMI - from AMP to THROUGH. I personally don't care if the receiver is on or off as long as I have the ability to either use my home theater speakers or just my TV speakers is it's late at night or kids are sleeping etc.

There's a setting to enable pass through. I've never tried it with audio, but frequently I miss turning it on and will get the video without the speakers.

It is possible to connect the cable box to the receiver HDMI port, connect the receiver to the TV and listen to the sound through the TV speakers. It WILL pass through the audio provided there is power to the receiver. The receiver does not have to be on as it would then play through the surround speakers rather than the TV speaker. Within the menus there is a pass-through option. Receiver, Setup, HDMI Setup, HDMI Through (I select CBL/SAT here which corresponds with the HDMI input port for the cable box).
