I Need receiver that can simultaneously display two screens from the same computer(extended) Is this possible with an av receiver? How?

Yes, by selecting the RX-A830 HDMI output to HDMI 1+2. It will output any HDMI input signal thru HDMI output 1 and 2. Just tried this with my Xbox One and it was on two TV inputs at the sametime. Just a reminder, if you're using a pc, the receiver can accept signals upto 1920x1080. I don't think it will accept a higher signal.

It's not usually possible, though there may be one that can do it. Here's why: Virtually every AV receiver can only have one input selected at a time. The Yamaha RX-A830 has 7 HDMI inputs, and 2 HDMI outputs. You can select only one input at a time. It CAN send that ONE input to TWO different HDMI outputs simultaneously. But that won't solve your problem, since you'll have TWO outputs from your computer(going into the TWO inputs on the receiver). You can convert both computer outputs from vga/dvi to HDMI and have them both going to the receiver (and sending extended display), but you'll only be able to select and view one at a time.

Yes. We can select any of the 4 inputs for both A and B outputs simultaneously. I connected my Tv And projector. And both can display the same input from my blurry player simultaneously.

as others have replied this would not work for multiples screens. and any splitter would mirror the screen. would need a video card capable of multiple outs or multiple video cards.

You need to run RCA signal cables for both. I used a BOSS video splitter for four monitors.

i setup with Denon AVR-4311CI 9.2 Channel Network Multi-Room Home Theater Receiver with HDMI 1.4a this working very goog. i like this. thganks you!

Not directly. The PC transmits to one receiver connected to display via HDMI.

No, this splitter will only show your desktop across the two screens. You'll need two separate feeds from your computer.

You may find that only one digital video output is active at a time, due to copy protection laws. (I know this is true for digital sound, anyway.)If so, perhaps you can find an inexpensive device that will split the DVI so that one can go to the receiver and the other to the TV?

No need for additional receiver. It output video ntsc signal and as long as your TV can accept that you should be fine.

im probably posting to late to help you.. but for anyone else.. i use this computer with an HDMI cable hooked up to my HDTV.. i havent done dual monitors.. but others have posted they've had success with it.. i think the HDMI hook up is great.. cause it plays both video and audio.. no need for computers speakers... i hook up this computer to my HDTV 32".. and Hi Def content looks great..

Paul - what do you mean by "receiver" - I would be connecting the DVD player directly to my Samsung LCD TV (Samsung LNS3251D 32" LCD HDTV) using the 2nd HDMI input. Am I good ?Also I found this comment about my Samsung: its HDMI connections still support version 1.0 and I cannot connect my Toshiba DVD player which supports Ver1.1 HDMI specs - Is this a problem if I get the A20? Thanks in advance....jon battle

Joseph - this is a cool receiver which occupies very space. Nice audio quality has 4 HDMI inputs, one optical input and pretty easy to setup. Go for it

PamRosa,We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option.--Mr. S

do not know what you mean "...not just copied?" you will only view what the input signal is... this is only a splitter, sending the same signal to two different receivers.

You want an HDMI switch, not this item. This is the opposite of what you want. You want 4 in, 1 out. This item is 1 in 4 out (duplicate displays). It seems your receiver does not have enough inputs and thus one will need to be shared. This is not ideal for a few reasons, but should work just fine. Doing things this way will make it so that you cannot label your receiver input because it represents multiple things. Also, using a switch will probably add a remote to your collection. On the bright side, a switch will be much cheaper than a new receiver. I have not used a switch before so good luck, try this search: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=HDMI+switch You want an HDMI switch, not this item.

I am assuming you want to "extend the displays"? If this is so then no, your video card needs to have two monitor ports in order to "extend the displays". You will only be able to mirror them with this splitter.

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