Related answer from a reviewer "on PS3 the only outputs that are 5.1 are HDMI and Optical, which neither are supported on this product. The *best* you'll be able to do is 2.1 with the MultiAV out."

No. DVI carries NO audio, therefore three is no audio to be passed through to the HDMI output. You will need to provide audio to your device by separate cable either analog (RCA plugs) or digital (cable or fibre optic).

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

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.

HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 both are rated at the same MHZ and bandwidth, so it should work based off of specs, however, 1.4 allows for the use of "ARC", audio return channel. I do not know if it will support ARC.

theoretically yes, but i bought two of these, neither would give me video output, i had them replaced and those didn't work either. i recommend finding a multiport composite switch with hdmi out at your local electronics store. it will cost about 5 times more, but it will work and is easier to return if it doesn't.

There are different versions of HDMI cables. Versions 1.4 and above support 3D. So an "HDMI 3D" cable just means it is 1.4 or above. A version 1.4 cable will also transmit 720/1080p content just fine. Wikipedia has a great version comparison chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison

I believe you have to run audio separately. If you are running an Xbox for example, use hdmi for video, then use the standard Xbox a/v cable for audio. You can change Xbox/ps3 settings to audio outputs.

Works for my set up with both audio and video. Receiver output is split into two other components. Both audio and video. Must understand, with my set up, this is NOT HDTV. I never tried to split component for HDTV, so not sure if that would work. Just video and left/right audio.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't expect any useful down-mixing. I don't really think there is a good way to down-mix. It DOES have a selector button so that you can force the sending device to use 2.0 stereo. It works by the regular HDMI mechanism of reporting audio/video capabilities. You have the option of 2.0, 5.1, or passthrough (report whatever the next device in chain reports).

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

No I don't have this system but I was gonna buy it soon. This would be primarily for playing my 360 so any potential problems with that gets me concerned about it. Are all your cables hdmi 1.4? Even though I don't think that is the problem I always wondered if I ran my PS3 or 360 with hdmi 1.4 to the receiver and the one to the t.v is 1.3 or 1.2 if it would cause problems with the picture. I have always opted for a whole theater in a box but am recently building a surround sound and am trying to learn the system a little bit first.

Ofcourse!! HDMI send Video and audio at same cable...! dont worry about it, and if you want send audio by the speaker output you can to, you only need configure your OS, but by default the HDMI send audio and video...!! I hope my answer can help you...

N Singh, or anyone who is technical :) What is the practical significance of it having HDMI 1.2 vs. HDMI 1.3? Am I losing anything with HDMI 1.2?

No. There is a small opening that is marked "IR" but that doesn't look like a 3.5mm stereo output. A 3.5mm jack will fit into the opening, but it won't make a solid connection. What purpose would a stereo output serve? That output would be analog, whereas the HDMI switch is digital.
