I have a Sony A/V receiver with HDMI and USB ports. Can I connect Micca to my receiver and use my tv just to select audio files? If so, how?

I think you can access audio through the unit through the HDMI set up - pretty sure . Once set up it would be the same as accessing movies just use the audio section

Connect the Micca player to the receiver by using the HDMI connection. Use the TV to select audio or video files.

If you are using an HDMI cable from the TV output to the receiver you should have audio through the receiver. I assume that you have multiple inputs that are selected by the receiver and you have selected the input that is connected to the TV. I found that there are different audio configurations in the receiver that need to be selected also. The manual offers a lot of information but for me it's too difficult to understand. Try a different HDMI cable and/or input port to begin with.

If you mean analog A/V input port(s)...I wish, but sorry, not a chance. These days, you probably have to buy Pro gear for that. More cost effective, though, might be to buy one of those A/V-to-USB converter kits (Roxio, etc.).

Their is an a/v input, but for what application I don't know. I tried hooking my PS3 to it, but it didn't work

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

Unlikely you would be successful connecting anything useful to that device - Micca makes terrible products - Micca has terrible customer service - suggest you buy from a decent manufacturer!

You can do a couple things. Buy an adapter for RCA like you said, or try to go right into your receiver. If you have a cable box, then you could pull the audio directly from there instead of through the tv. What i do is pull the audio through my home theatre system instead of through the tv.

Stephen G., I'm interested in connecting 2 receivers and switching between them. I have a modern home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V477) and a vintage receiver (Realistic STA-76 circa 1975). Each one does some things better than the other and I want to easily switch between them depending on what I want to do (like play vinyl on the vintage) and watch movies on the home theater receiver. If you know of something that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

HI William, I have my optical cord connected to my Dish network receiver out to the Sony surround sound. The Sony unit is connected with an HDMI to the TV.. it sounds great. The only signal going to the TV is the video the sound goes thru the Sony surround Sound. Hope I answered your question if not I would go to the Sony Website I'm sure customer service can help you there..

I still tried - adjusted the receiver and TV - now when i increase the TV volume and if the receiver is on - it increases the receiver volume with the same TV remote - so definitely the TV and receiver are linked - but still i don't hear the tv sound - I assigned a AV port 4 and i cant listen anything on that port 4 on the receiver. the analog sound out from tv goes to 2 and when i switch the receiver to port 2 - i hear the sound.

It would depend on which type of home theater receiver you are using. If your receiver supports a video/audio out connection that you can connect to your TV, then most receivers typically have the basic analog yellow, red and white RCA input jacks that you would need to connect to. These RCA input jacks are sometimes located on your receiver as A/V In.. Hope this helps.

You don't need a receiver with this unit! It's self-amplified. Just plug it in to your TV via HDMI. Plug your other components in to the TV as well. At worst, you'll need to run a pair of RCA audio cables from the TV back to the audio input of the Sound Bar. Hope this helps

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver.there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

if its a new TV, then you can hook in with HDMI or USB. if its an older model, you will need a converting system like a dvd player with those inputs or a blueray player. some models come with a A/V jack, so your can go from microphone jack to RCA connectors.

If all you need to do it put audio through your receiver, this device will work for you. My receiver doesn't have HDMI either, so I just feed the audio using TOSLINK to it and the HDMI out to my TV. Works fine.
