Trouble with component/composite inputs: Can you connect a Wii or DVD Player (or any other Electronics) to the Composite (Red, White &amp; Yellow) or Component (Green, Blue &amp; Red) Inputs on this receiver and use the HDMI Out to your TV?

Despite what the manual says and implies, NO - this will not work. You need hook the MONITOR OUT to your TV. When you change input you will have to change the input selector on the receiver AND on the TV.

no problem. Just plug the AV out into the input device red, yellow, and white inputs. Haven't tried the component cable since I use HDMI. Don't know if component works or not.

Hey my Friend, Thanks for your imput. Just want to get a clear understanding about HDMI and Composite connection differences. My HDTV is 3 years old with composite only connection. Will HD DVD give me 1080i reception capabilty. I now have the Dish 622 reciever and get HD quality no problem. Simply put does the Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD player have composite connections along with HDMI. Hope I've made myself clear enough. Thanks Much ... RD

Can anyone with this DVD player answer Keith's question? I'm interested in buying it but only if it upscales with component cables and not just HDMI

If the receiver has any of the following outputs: RF, component, red/blue/green or HDMI... then you should be just fine.

Yes, you can use the Composite connection (standard definition) it's the Yellow, red/white cable. HDMI input for HiDef. Some older TVs may have HDMI, but don't support audio. You will need to research the model of your TV.

I hooked mine up using hdmi from Blu-ray dvd player to hdmi input on tv. If you have a standard dvd player without hdmi output use the composite out of the dvd player to composite in on tv.

Yes it is possible but just with component cables, wii is not hdmi compatible

I agree. All the new receivers require HDMI connections. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection for TV input then it will not work. The older TV's had the component cables (Red, Blue and Green).

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

I just run the video cables from the wii into the tv and the red and white audio cables from the wii into the soundbar receiver. The official wii cables will let you split the audio and video cables so it's not hard.

The Wii with the original cable need to be hooked up to a composite video connection (yellow, white, red). If you choose to connect it to the component video (red, green, blue + red/white audio) you can ONLY connect it to Component 1, connecting the yellow to the indicated location.I just orderered a component video cable for the Wii for about $8.00 on line. A co-worker said the video quality is significantly improved with the component cable.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

From what it looks like, you are correct in thinking that you will have to select the mode, then the input. The HDMI 1 and 2 ports share a mode with ports 1 and 2 of the component ports. So if you went to Video 1, i would hazard a guess that it defaults to HDMI, and to switch it to component you would have to change it to component. This to me seems like an extra unnecessary step.If anyone has this receiver and cares to prove me wrong, please let me know, because if it doesn't take the extra step, I might actually want to purchase this.

Great question, I honestly don't know. Basically, you're saying you have some composite devices (instead of component devices). Unless you're going to use it strictly for composite devices, I'm not sure how it would work. Meaning, you'd have to hook it up to your TV to where you're using only a red/white (audio) and yellow (video) cable.

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but my issue is with component input from satellite receiver and especially when there are changes in screen format at commercial break, and/or heavy action scenes like bright flashes/explosions, etc. I DO not find that there are any issues with hdmi input from my blu-ray player or DVD/VCR. Appears to me that there is an issue processing the action quickly enough. I contacted Onkyo online a month ago and never received a reply.
