Are the HDMI inputs pass through? In other words does the reciever need to be on to view and hear (via the TV speakers) the TV with the unit off?

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

If you set the wiring up to not have hdmi play thru the receiver first then output picture to the tv you can have it so the tv plays its own sound. But if you run it thru on the one hdmi cable from output source to receiver then to tv the tv will not have speaker capability. Also if you were to go hdmi from output source to tv directly you can have tv sound when you want it, and then run an optic cable from output source to receiver and you can have tv sound and/or receiver. There is a small loss in sound this way as some of the current decoding does not support optic transfer but it'll be a minimal difference if you aren't a real picky audio enthusiast.

If your receiver passes-through the HDMI signal, then you don't need to turn the receiver on. Not all receivers do this, however. If yours does, just connect the various components to the switch's inputs, run the output to the receiver and from the receiver to the TV.

yes it does. If you run HDMI to the TV from the receiver out, you can get the receiver inputs without power. However, when I tried using the HDMI control functions, I found that I couldn't turn up the volume on my TV with the TV remote. I might have a compatibility issue or I just need to play around with is ome more to get the settings right

Believe this receiver has two HDMI outputs. Maybe try the other one and make sure the correct output is selected. Did you try turning the receiver off to see if the HDMI signal goes through in pass through mode?

I have one of my hdmi outputs going to the receiver, then the receiver's output going to the TV. The audio passes along the hdmi.

Mine is connected directly to my receiver and I too keep the speakers on the TV muted.

"Standby pass-through of Audio & Video""Conveniently access all your HDMI connected devices without having to power on the receiver". Hope that answers your question my friend.

i connected all of my hdmi devices to the sound bar including the TV which is plugged in to hdmi 1; i also used the digital audio out (optical) connex. All sound/video feeds through just fine. I just switch the input to hdmi port (hdmi 1 for tv, hdmi 2 for dvd/blu ray, hdmi 3 for roku).

You DO NEED a reciever to deliver the signal to the individual hookups (R, L, center, surround ) They are passive speakers that connected via speaker wire.There is NO HDMI

Hi there... I'm not an expert in the subject, but I think you can fix it by going to "System Preferences" and after clicking "Sound" choosing HDMI in output, so it goes through the TV and not through the computer's speakers. Hope this helps!!!

Yes it does have an HDMI pass through but I only use it for video not audio so I don't know if the audio passes through.

Good Question! And one I didn't consider when purchasing this unit. The answer is: Apparently not. After getting your question I tried to see if my DVD would play through the Yamaha RX-V371 (with it off, or to say - in standby) to my HDTV. So the receiver does not appear have the pass-through feature. Turning on the receiver yielded both audio & video to my HDTV. Be advised that both the Yamaha unit and my HDTV are circa 2010, have been classified as "discontinued," and probably a feature (as well as others) no one thought about at the time. Note that I use HDMI cables between the Blu-ray player, to the receiver and to the HDTV (as well as an audio optical cable from the HDTV to the receiver). Because of the two-year span of advanced technical features, these units may not have all the features that have occured during that time. But if you can deal with the lack of the stand-by feature, the receiver is a good one otherwise, and at a good price. You might also pose your question to Yamaha (http://usa.yamaha.com)

It has an optical output. Generally speaking one would use HDMI to get audio into the tv, and then optical audio it out to something with a better sound quality.

This receiver is HDMI passthrough only i.e. it does not decode audio from the HDMI. You need to either (a) connect an audio out from DirecTV box to the receiver or (b) connect an audio out from TV to the receiver. (a) is preferable so it preserves the sound for decoding by your receiver vs (b) which the TV would downmix to stereo and output to receiver.

So far in my experience with this receiver the volume does not display onscreen when passing-through HDMI signals. However, it will display if you are upconverting component and composite to HDMI signals. Hope this helps.

According to the manual it does have pass-through, and I have seen the setting in the setup. I haven't tried it myself since I always use the receiver's speaker. I can say it's not enabled by default because I did try that. You can also select if you want it to cascade the off signal to other devices (for example, shut of the Blu-ray player when I shut off the receiver in that mode) It also requires the other device to be compatible with this.
