I want to route my HD input in two ways, one that goes directly to my TV and the other to the same TV but through my AV receiver. Is that possible?

yes, that's exactly what the switch does, it takes an input signal and allows you to direct it to two different destinations, not simultaneously tough (it's not a splitter). I guess your plan is to bypass the AV receiver when you don't need it and watch TV via the direct connection, and go through the AV receiver only when you need the additional capabilities. One push of the button and you will toggle the signal between the two output.

I routed my TV into the soundcard, so I'm assuming it should be possible. Not entirely sure how I did it because it took some messing with settings.

yes. just find an open analog input (red/white rca jack) on your receiver (home theater system) -- doesn't matter what the input is called (CD, BD, DVR). then switch your receiver to the same input setting name. your TV should play no part in this configuration.

Yes..and be sure that you get a splitter that is designed to handle HD signal..

that is correct this allows one of your HDMI cables to act as a AV input. I used the other one HDMI2AV for an older TV that has no HDMI input works like a charm.

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.

Yes, just run it to your receiver and use the receiver to TV's to connection to your TV's.

Yes you can, one HDMI input is a throughput the other one the unit has to be on

Nope. This receiver does not support HDMI connected inputs, other digital inputs or analog Component inputs that output to a sub-zone. This would be fine for your primary zone and then you would use composite video (analog) in your second zone.

I have a Dishnet box with only one HDMI port. I use it with a link so O can get an HD picture on my second tv. It works great, no delay, no degraded signal. I recommend it.

You need a receiver that does HDMI Audio Decoding, which until recently has only been availabe in upper-echelon receivers. Most recently the Onkyo 605/605 and comparable Yamaha's and Denons do decode 5.1 and Dolby True HD / DTS Master Audio. If a receiver is labelled pass-through that means it won't be able to split off the audio from the HDMI signal and will just give it to the TV, and you'll have to use a separate digital optical or digital coaxial cable to send to the receiver from your DVD, DVR, Blu-ray, etc. Sucks doesn't it?

I used this to send my Directv picture to a main and a remote set. I also used a 50" HDMI cable. Works perfectly. Remember, both get the same channel.

With this guy, you must switch inputs on TV, receiver doesn't convert component to HDMI signal. From receiver you will have 2 sets of wires to TV: HDMI for HDDVD

If you do not have an ARC HDMI connection on your TV use the digital output on your TV to the digital Input on your receiver with a Toslink cable. This is what I had to do and it works perfectly.

It must be a direct connection. The HDMI signal is not being converted into any type of network protocol that would be necessary for routing.

yes and no they give you two ways to set up, one is for AV connection if you don't have an HDMI. There is also an optical/audio connect

yes, if you come out of the receiver with hdmi into the unit (you must set your receiver to pass the audio to the TV under the hdmi settings) then it will give you an analog stream for your TV ears. If your receiver cannot output the hdmi audio along with the video, then you can insert it between the source you want and the receiver (the downside to this scenario is you only get the option of that one source, as opposed to all the sources connected to your receiver with the first option)
