As long as you have native sound with the hdmi and the signal wasn't converted from a singular source like DVI you should be fine. Also, if you haven't already bought this unit I would highly suggest you look elsewhere. Out of three friends with this unit two have had serious issues which are not covered by warranty.

Yes, you can. The receiver box will output the sound to the speakers based on what is actively being viewed at that moment.

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. I have my ps4 and my tv connected by an hdmi cable and I used this device from my tv In the "audio out" port. On your ps4 you change your output to tv or I believe it's called Doby 5.1. So basically u just hook this up to your tv audio output and not the ps4. Works great though.

Thanks for all the answers. Yes, with the VGA cable the sound works. If i use the HDMI i lose the sound.

It's not really like a home entertainment system. I have my ps4, xbox, cable box etc connected to my tv with hdmi cords and I have a toslink cable running from the tv to this home theater system which lets it play the sound from whatever is on tv whether it be your cable box or xbox. You should be able to connect your hdmi splitter to this or the tv though. It does have an hdmi input.

I have to agree with you. I have a playstation 3 and a media extender for streaming vids/TV from my computer. That uses up all my HDMI inputs on the Yamaha. So what happens when I get a new device?? Yeah, I'm not really future proofed at all. I'd like to see 4 HDMI inputs.

Yes. I have a cable box, blue ray, and a video game attached. When you power up a unit, it will automatically switch. It gets its power from the hdmi connection. Lovin it so far.

No, your PS3 needs an HDMI cable. It has an output for digital optical audio that you could hook up to your surround sound if it takes it but will only output sound from this port not video. I have my PS3 hooked up to my TV via HDMI and have my TV hooked up to my surround sound via the digital optical audio cable so the PS3s sounds comes thru the surround sound

You can connect the PS4 using s/pdif connection. (the sound system does not have an HDMI input) so you have to use s/pdif.

Yes, if connecting through HDMI you will get sound through that audio channel.

This converter box only allows RCA jacks on the input to go to HDMI output.You probably want some sort of VGA to HDMI converter.Search Amazon for this one QVS HVGA-AS VGA Video/Stereo Audio to HDMI Digital ConverterIt does sound and video.Just video converters are less expensive.Good luck!

I believe it to be true and originally ran HDMI to the TV (DirecTV HD-DVR and PS3) and then optical audio out to my receiver. The sound just didn't "pop" out and then I read the TV manual on a whim and couldn't believe that the output only is in 2-channel. I later read somewhere that it is intentional for copyright reasons. Unfortunately, my Surround Sound Receiver also has an annoying limitation whereby it switches HDMI but does not extract the audio from the HDMI connection. So, the workaround for me was to connect the HDMI (for video only) to the TV, keep the TV volume at zero, and connect the digital audio sources from the components to the receiver (which only has two optical audio inputs.) The sound and audio were offset but most good receivers will let you adjust to get them back in-sync.

I'm sure you can and I don't see why not, in the case you were only going to connect a gaming system if a blue ray player. I connected my cable and a player. Either way, just go to the input button and switch input options.

Sure. Just input the output sound from from your TV via, optical, hdmi, or analog.

Yes you input in this converter with HDMI and output with composite AV in your game console.Only need to alimentate this converter with any usb sourcebest

If your console supports HDMI. The monitor have weak speakers inside, if you want to connect to speakers, you will need to find a splitter.

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.
