HDMI to TV: Does anyone know if this unit (or any other) passes the HDMI signal through to the TV when it is off?

actually it will pass through video but not audio when powered off (at least for my experience/TV) if you turn off hdmi p.save (power saving) in the menu. I do this when playing my PS3 with my headphones connected to the secondary audio/RCA output of the PS3 with an adapter on the PS3 since the HTSS360 has no headphone jack. To do this however you have to enable multiple audio out in your PS3 settings, and remember to turn that off if you want 7.1 sound for blu ray since for some reason enabling multiple audio out for PS3 cuts down LPCM to 5.1 instead of 7.1 with it off. As for TV audio if you use a cable box I'm not sure you can that way, unless you plug a second audio cable from cablebox to one of your TV's inputs and then in audio settings in your TV can set that input as TV audio. Mine has the ability for that but it's not a Sony TV which I'm unfamiliar with.

Dear Tim:On my TV, I have to watch with the receiver on all the time - thus, through the surround system. I am not sure if getting an additional HDMI cable will allow you to watch TV normally without the receiver on. But the way I have mine set up I have to have the receiver on to watch TV.

It changes port channels with and without remote and I have moved the HDMI to different ports with the same results also when changing it takes a few seconds before the signal is sent to the TV. I have reinstalled a 2x1 and the TV is responding OK and has not shut off anymore. I have just for the fun of it placed it on another TV different model and the same thing occurs I loose the signal to the set.

Having now received my A/V amp; I can tell you that the 3300 does pass the HDMI signal from the last source used while the amp was powered on; you'll have to turn the amp on and change source if you want a different source; then turn it back off.

Man, I wish I could help. I know mine automatically turns off when I turn off my LED TV so they are somehow synced already. I never did anything special when I set it up. I have a Samsung TV. I don't know if that makes any difference at all. I'm also using all HDMI. I'm thinking maybe it's the configuration of how your system is set up? Please do update when you figure it out as I'm getting ready to purchase a new TV to hook up with mine and I might just have the same trouble.

I connected my unit to my TV's HDMI port. My TV doesn't have an I-port. I didn't use any additional cables

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

Haven't had that issue. Sounds like a defective remote or something wrong with the unit itself which may not be receiving the signal from the remote because of some internal problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It just passes the signal through to the TV even when it's off, shouldn't affect the picture.

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.

ya..that's what I thought and I do have the cable box connected to the TV with component cables, connected to input 2 of TV, along with the HDMI output of the receiver connected to input 1 of TV.I had a Yamaha 465 that did allow the pass thru when the receiver was turned off. But I do like this SR707 alot better.....better sound, more power and more inputs.Bottom line.... no big deal.....

Do other inputs to the receiver work? No idea why yours does not. I have our receiver (monitor) connected to HDMI 1 and as the receiver switches inputs the TV displays well. Sorry I cannot help any more.

"No Signal" happens when your TV is set to the wrong input. Select a different HDMI input on the TV's remote.

Unfortunatly the unit has to be powered on and has no pass thru. Although there is a solution to your problem. You can split the HDMI signal with a J-Tech Quality HDMI splitter, which Amazon sells. One can go directly to the TV from source 1 and the other can go to the HDMI amp from source one.

I think it's a good question. Yes, the receiver has to be turned on and you have to have the correct input selected. After all, the receiver does a LOT of processing (switching, upconverting) between its inputs and its outputs. It seems unimaginable that there could be a direct link between one of the four HDMI inputs and the HDMI output when the receiver is off. (Sorry!) But I haven't actually tried it, so I'm only giving you an educated guess here (but I'd give 100-to-1 odds on it!).

I believe it is because the cable box is "always on". So even if you turn it off or not the receiver still thinks it is on so it doesn't switch back to it because it doesn't receive a new signal to switch to. This is my understanding anyway. Not sure if there is a workaround for this.

Sorry about the delay to answer your question...the HDMI does pass an audio signal.
