How do I get audio to play through the receiver using Google Chromecast?? Which HDMI port do I plug it into? Please be as specific as possible!

Depends on whether or not your TV has a return back to the 750 or not. I have an hdmi going from my cable box into the 1st hdmi in the 750. Since my TV has the return back, I placed another hdmi from the last hdmi port om the 750 (output port) in my hdmi 1 port in my TV. Then placed the the chromecast into the game port (hdmi 2) in the 750. To get the chromecast running, I usually just use the remote and the input (white keys on top) to game.. Works great.

Hi Christopher, You can plug your chromecast on any of the "HDMI IN" ports of the receiver. -Anthony

Yes. Check your TV manual to see inf the HMDI is bidirectional - it should be if you got it within the last three years. Then go from cable box to hdmi 1 on the 750. Run another hdmi cable from the last hdmi port on the back of the 750, It is just to the right of the first four ports and it has a white rather then a black background, and run that cable to the hdmi 1 prot on the TV.Take all the other cables out - this should be all you need. Don't attach the chromcast to the TV. Attach it to the game input (2nd hdmi) on the 750.

I have this same receiver with cox cable box as well. I have the HDMI wire running from the receiver to the TV. The second HDMI wire from the cable box to the receiver. It works fine. I had to switch the HDMI port on my TV for some reason? I was not getting video, only sound? I tried a different port and it works fine. My problem is that my 7.1 surround sound speakers sound bad? I feel I have to turn the volume almost all the way up to get it even remotely loud.

I read that audio is not supported, BUT will the laptop/chromebook audio speakers still work or by plugging into the HDMI port it cuts out the audio of the laptop.

My guess is that it wouldn't work properly since you won't be able to play any sound from the Google Chromecast. HDMI includes audio signals but VGA does not (only video). Accordingly, you might be able to get the video signal on the projector by using the adapter but you will loose the audio signal (unless the Chromecast has a separate audio output).

That sounds unusual, have you tried another output device? The setup that I have for INPUTS are 1)laptop 2)apple tv 3)chromecast OUTPUT is a projector. AV cables are connected into a mixer. We haven't had any problems. I would suggest troubleshooting with different devices, because perhaps the problem won't be the matrix.

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.

You have options when installing this device. In my installation, I simply plugged the USB connector on the device directly into my PC and an HDMI cable from the device to my monitor. Video and were delivered to the monitor. Another option is to use the Audio Out connector on the device to deliver sound to another device such as your home theater receiver. So, the answer to your question is Yes the sound from your computer will play through the speakers of the receiver.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio. I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

I am guessing you have a smart/web connected TV and you want the sound to come from the receiver. Check if your TV has an audio output either digital/optical . Look at your TV settings . I am guessing the TV has multiple HDMI ports. How would the TV know where to send the output ?

Rick, try going to your Sound controls from your "Control Panel" buttons. I recently connected to a TV through my HDMI and I find that I have to manually switch the sound there from "Speakers" (which is my computer sound) to "NVidia Hi-Def Audio" in order to get sound to the TV if I'm trying to watch something on Hulu over there. One annoying glitch though: The switch only allows for you to change your "Default" settings (be sure to hit default if "apply" by itself doesn't work... that's what I have to do.) so you then have to go through the procedure each time you change. Annoying, but workable if you don't have to do it a whole lot. - MJM

I have not managed to get it to work. I installed the latest software update on the TV, but am still getting no signal when plugging in Chromecast (CC). Have you managed to get it to work?

Dear Valued Customer,Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, chromecast does not work for this model.

Two things: 1. Make sure that the TV option for sound is set to the internal speakers, otherwise it will direct the sound signal to the mini-plug sound output jack on the back of the set (this is used to send the signal to another amplifier to drive external speakers). 2. Make sure that any routing of the HDMI signal to and from other devices is arranged properly (i.e. devices->inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)

I use an HDMI cable from my Verizon FiOS HD-DVR into the Yamaha and then the output to my Sanyo television. Sound is great. My Chromecast is plugged directly into the back of the Yamaha and again the sound is great. Very pleased with my purchase.

It is possible to connect the cable box to the receiver HDMI port, connect the receiver to the TV and listen to the sound through the TV speakers. It WILL pass through the audio provided there is power to the receiver. The receiver does not have to be on as it would then play through the surround speakers rather than the TV speaker. Within the menus there is a pass-through option. Receiver, Setup, HDMI Setup, HDMI Through (I select CBL/SAT here which corresponds with the HDMI input port for the cable box).

My receiver does not have HDMI and no HD audio. What I do is connect HDMI from the A-400 to my Tv directly and audio to the receiver through optical cable. 7.1 audio is amazing. Like I said, check the A-400 forum for HD audio. It is a huge resource of practical information.I use the A-400 with a 80" 3D TV and I still can't believe how great it looks.The only reason I don't buy one more is because the iPad browser works so well that I can browse my movies, ratings etc from anywhere, pick what I want to see and then manually select that movie on any of my old media players.
