Is It work pluged in a Home Theater Receiver? Not direct in a TV.

I really don't know, since I have it plugged into the TV. The key to working with your home theater receiver is to determine how many INPUTs and OUTPUTs you need. The Kinivo 301B has 3 INPUTs and only 1 OUTPUT.

so long as there is an active signal through the HDMI port on your receiver, it will work. i'm not sure the purpose of hooking it to a home theater receiver, though. the HDMI hub means you have one out from the hub that goes to the TV. The other ports are in ports, which allows you to automatically or manually choose your source or input among three devices. if you aren't connecting the hub directly to the TV, then are you trying to connect multiple devices into your one home theater HDMI port? Which means you are connecting your one HDMI "out" on your home theater receiver to your tv, correct? so long as there is an active signal through the HDMI port on your receiver, it will work. i'm not sure the purpose of hooking it to a home theater receiver, though. the HDMI hub means you have one out from the hub that goes to the TV.

Dear Fifo,Thank you for your question regarding our 301BN Premium 3 port High speed HDMI switch. You can use the receiver with the 301BN by running an HDMI cable from the 301BN's output port to an input port on the receiver. Then you'd run a cable from an output port on the receiver to the TVPlease contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,Kinivo Product SupportEmail: support@kinivo.comToll Free: 1-855-4Kinivo (1-855-454-6486)Live Chat: http://support.kinivo.com(Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm Pacific)

No, I have it plugged in to the TV. I haven't hooked up a home theater yet.

Yes, I have it directly connected to our cable box. You should be able to use either an optical cable or the receivers audio outputs.

Do you have satellite? You should be able to hook it into direct box. And just keep satellite hooked to tv.

No, it uses speaker wire. I've never seen a TV with a hookup for that. You need a receiver.

No, it does not. This is a HOME THEATER system designed to connect to a RECEIVER.

I had to plug it directly into the cable box. Sorry to say I had problems with this device and ended up sending it back for a refund.

It should work with no problem. I would plug the receiver into a power surge AND battery backup receptacle. I had my receiver, plasma tv, and stereo plugged into mine.

I don't have a home theater receiver but I suspect it needs a direct connection to the HDMI port on the TV unless there is a pass through function on the receiver. Try asking a question about hooking HDMI to the receiver you have for a better answer. Good luck!

It should work. I have it hooked to a Denon receiver of about the same size and capability.

I have direct TV and I plugged it to the audio on the receiver. I called TV Ears for help

Yes. You need to have/get the power adapter and a BNC to RCA to hook directly to tv

I doubt it. The unit has to be very close to the TV transmitter in order to receive a signal. Mine wouldn't receive any channels at my home perhaps 8 miles from the transmitter. To connect an external antenna requires a special connector not included with my unit, and I could not find one online. So I returned it.

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

Hello, If the receiver has an auxiliary jack that you can plug into for the sound to broadcast then yes...it should work. I have mine plugged into a powered amp which works for my needs.

I don't know, but I can't see why it would not work. I have direct tv, not dish.

The question is not clear. How is the video connected to a TV or something else from the receiver?

Make sure the input is 5v DC (five volts, direct current) on your receiver.... If yes, it should work...
