    HDMI to an older receiver options.

    I’m taking a chance on a pioneer vsx-99 for my surround sound setup. I’m currently using a newer marantz so hdmi hookup is not a problem however the pioneer is from 1995 so my options are limited. Not even a toslink connection. I had a Yamaha receiver that the hdmi pass through wasn’t working so...

I want to continue using the current gear for stereo music format but want to take advantage of the surround technology for movies and maybe some hi def through an apple tv controller. My thought is to use the...

    Can I Split HDMI ARC

    Hi, I have 3 soundbars with HDMI ARC inputs. I need to connect these 3 to one HDMI ARC input source. I do not have much knowledge in handling ARC though I have done normal HDMI splitting for normal TVs. Question: 1) Are there any HDMI ARC 1 to 2 or 1 to 4 HDMI ARC splitters in the market? 2)...

    Audio extractor + Bluetooth RX/TX

    I mean to get an audio extractor (I have just learned about their existence) that gets HDMI as input (from a Chromecast, e.g.) and outputs to Optical audio + HDMI, at least. If possible, I would like it to also have Bluetooth in/out: * In (RX): so I can stream to it directly from a BT device...

    Lag/synch issues with HDMI Audio Extractor

    There was a thread a few years ago covering this, but it didn't have any resolution. I used to have a first generation Apple TV - which had a built in optical out for audio. I would run this output into my two channel Yamaha and use my stereo for movies/music (turning down the TV speakers...

    HDMI signal breakout and pass-thru device Quest

    I am looking for an HDMI input device that breaks out the video into component video, audio into 5.1 analog channels and also has HDMI pass-thru. My HT amp does not do HDMI, and has 5.1 inputs. The primary source will be a PS4 (maybe PS3 also) for gaming. Am I hunting a Unicorn? Any suggestions?

    CD/Optical players and possibility of DAC to ADC in order to transmit over HDMI/digital link

    Concern: I have a concern/question that I can't seem to find an answer to out there on the information superhighway. I've been experimenting with and doing some research over analog vs. digital audio connections from cheap Blu-ray/CD/optical media players. The consensus seems to be that the...

    Stereo HDMI receivers

    Up to recently, I've been using a Luxman R105 with a pair of Vintage Celestion Ditton 44 and a Mordaunt Short Sub. A problem arose when I ran out of HDMI and digital inputs and the complexity of operating my system. I had to make a choice for an HDMI receiver, I was reluctant to get a Surround...

    Onkyo Receiver Reliability

    Has anyone had any Onkyo receivers fail after being repaired? I have a TX-NR616 that failed. These models are apparently notorious for the HDMI board dying which takes out all channels. Onkyo was very accommodating and paid for the service and shipping both ways. No complaints about the service...

    Listening to a vintage Quad Receiver in an HDMI world

    I have a vintage Sansui QRX 7001 quad receiver and also Denon and Marantz AV receivers (AVR). Of them all, I prefer the sound (and look) of the QRX with the speakers in my listening area. The challenge is listening to an HDMI-only source (DVD, NVIDIA Shield, etc.) and/or a 5.1 analog source...

    Hi all, I run a split system that does home theater Duty and stereo Duty. I use a second generation Chromecast with an HDMI extractor/splitter currently. I've been running the optical out to a dedicated DAC, but almost no music specific DACs can decode multi channel audio. I'm looking for a...

    ARC control for non-ARC devices

    Hello, I just purchased the Sony X900e and don't want a large HT receiver for my simple 2.1 setup, so I got the SMSL SA-50 PLUS. The receiver does great, and can easily power my setup to crazy volumes. The issue is remotes. The Sony remote is huge and has a host of very specific buttons, the...

    Pioneer Elite SC-67 HDIM passthrough

    hello, this is my first post and I have, what I hope is, a simple question. I have been using a needlessly bulky and cumbersome home AV system for years now. I like big speakers and get a kick out of turning them up occasionally but for the most part what i have is unnecessary. I would like to...

    How pass HDMI audio from Apple TV, etc. though AV Yamaha to vintage?

    I have an old Yamaha RX-595 and some old speakers I would like to use occasionally. RCA in and outs only on the 595. No HDMI or optical. But the 595 does have AB, which is nice. But the only place to do this is in the one room with my speakers and AV set up. All of that is hooked up to a Yamaha...

    How make Apple TV and HDMI get along?

    Had an Apple TV 2. It got along with HDMI to my AV receiver fine. Probably by simply not being HDMI RC/controlling at all! Just updated to latest Apple TV (just called that now, no number). It has more HDMI capabilitues now. Cooperative or controlling. But, no matter the setting (on it or the...

    I'm outputting my digital music library through an Apple TV via HDMI into an audio extractor, which in turn has a 1/8 inch analog stereo OUT to a stereo amplifier and speakers for music, and an HDMI OUT to my TV for watching movies. The audio quality through only the stereo amplifier is...

    HDMI Audio De-embedder as Budget DAC?

    I'm building a new "cheap" rig and I've noticed that since the last time I was involved in building a rig, analog audio output has disappeared from just about all sub-$300 disc players. That means that some sort of affordable rig is needed. Does anybody know how the analog output of these...
