HDMI input and digital audio output I have HDMI coming in from an XBox 360 and digital audio going out to an external receiver. TV shows output correctly to the receiver, but sound only comes out of the TV set when using the HDMI. I would like the picture to come in HDMI quality to the TV and my audio redirected out as 5.1 from the receiver. Anyone know how?

I've got an identical setup (but a blue ray instead of XBox) and it works. There should be a setting on your home theater system that would allow to transmit sound to rear speakers. I have a Sony 5.1 surround system and I have to press "Sound Field" several times until I find the correct setting... Hope this helps - you can email me at mplavnik@gsb.uchicago.edu for additional questions.

I've used a few of these and yes, the audio is output in analog audio, digital -toslink- audio, and still retains the original HDMI audio as well.

The HDMI has the audio on it. Run the video and the audio into the box, and an HDMI out, and you're all set. We use it to convert an Xbox into HDMI.

if connecting with HDMI then the audio output probably is digital on the TV.

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

Digital Video/ Audio Input Port (HDMI-IN) (Optional) You can connect an HDMI cable to this port. You can connect the HDMI port to a device with an HDMI output port and use this product as a monitor with digital video and audio output from the device. Digital Vieo/Audio out port (HDMI-OUT) You can connect an HDMI cable to this port. You can connect the computer to a TV and output digital video and audio to the TV.

Jmaze - Check the audio setting on your cable box. When using HDMI connections your source must output digital sound. I don't remember the exact details but i had a similar problem with my setup and it was fixed by using the right kind of audio settings for my cable box.

There is only one HDMI input (digital video/audio), the other two connectors are for the two dongle cables for analog pass through (one is input, the other is output), the dongles are used for RGB video and R/L audio input/output, all of them are RCA type connectors 3/2 configuration. Look closely at the end of the dongle and HDMI cables, you will see they are shaped differently and do not interconnect. You can't use the HDMI & dongle inputs at the same time, but you can use the HDMI as the input for digital video/audio, then use the dongle output for RGB video and the optical output for digital audio out for 7.1 sound. You can also purchase a converter to convert the RGB/optical to HDMI digital, but make sure the converter is RGB/optical Input with HDMI Output as many are only HDMI Input to RGB/optical output.

I have my home theater setup so the output from the home theater which includes my 2d blu-ray player, xbox 360, cable box, and an hd dvd player, all passes thru my 3d-bee converter before going to the 3d tv hdmi. the 3d converter is between the home theater and the 3d tv. My 3d-blu-ray player has 2 hdmi outputs. I hook one directly to the 3d tv, the other to the home theater (for sound only). Everything works perfectly. even netflix in 3d from the 2d blu-ray player.. hope this helps.

"Audio Signal from Any Input Can Be Obtained from SPDIF Digital Optical or Hi-Fi Stereo 3.5mm outputs @ Output A"The audio of whatever is going out HDMI output A will also go out the 3.5mm and S/PDIF ports.

Oddly enough, I think the HD output is limited to 1080i thru component connections because of legal reasons, See this article http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/21/xbox-360-hd-dvd-playback-maximum-1080i-via-component-1080p-vga/ Evidentially using a VGA (computer monitor style) cable will send the full 1080p. I have the LNT4069FX, but have not connected it to my xbox.

I connected a Blu Ray players HDMI output to the H6510BD's HDMI input.The video was projected on the screen, The H6510BD sent analogue audioto the 3.5mm audio output jack which I connected to some active PC speakers.I have connected my blu ray player's HDMI output to a 7.1 channel home theater receiverthe receiver sent the 7.1 audio to the audio speakers and the HDMI video to the H6510BD.I was never able to get anything beyond standard 2 channel analogue audio from the 3.5 mmaudio out jack.

HDMI takes precedence over component or RCA inputs. For example if you have HDMI input connected to VIDEO 2 and a component input connected to VIDEO 2 and both sources are turned on, the HDMI input will be output to the TV. Hope this helps.

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

I'm assuming that you're connecting to a television. Depending on how old your TV is, you may have to go into the settings menu on the TV and select the audio source as HDMI. If your audio source going to the TV was previously "optical" or "digital", etc. then it may require a manual change in the menu settings back to HDMI. Just a guess. Good luck.

I have used this on an older Sony Trinitron and a Mitsubishi 55" WS-65413, to connect HDMI output devices to their Component inputs. It worked for 2 DVD players, and a direcTV box with no problems (both Audio and Video). It would work on an XBOX 360 as long as you never switched it to the other DVD input. If you changed the switch to the other hdmi input, the XBOX would turn off its video output, and would have to be restarted after you switched it back to the xbox from the dvd player. I got an xbox one for the boys for Christmas and cannot get the xbox one to work with it at all. I suspect its related to HDMI copyright protection, but I am just guessing.

Via HDMI if your home theater receiver supports it. This TV has just the right amount of ports for a complete home theater system. Cable, Xbox One/360, Playstation 3/4 and HTPC all connect directly to your HDMI & component video supported receiver, sound comes out from your surround sound speakers and 1 HDMI cable goes out to your TV for video. Very simple!
