I THINK from what you're asking, the simplest setup for you would be to connect everything to your receiver, then HDMI out from the receiver to the Sony transmitter box, then connect HDMI between the Sony box and your display. If your monitor doesn't have HDMI, you can easily find an HDMI to DVI cable here on Amazon to connect between display and Sony box. DR, what is pan. monitor? Are you just listing a bunch of brands? If my suggestion doesn't work, clarifying your question with complete sentences might make it easier for people to answer you.

Your HDMI cable may not send the information, use one with audio return and internet capabilities. If you have it hooked to a cable or satellite receiver they (nearly all Directv and some others) cannot send the required signal, it's not the splitter, rather it's the unit hooked to it. If your signal is coming from a DVD, Blue-ray etc it should work. Check to see if the receiver is showing PCM or something else as an input source signal. The receiver should be able to decode the signal from the source via HDMI as long as the signal is provided to it at the input. Just a side note, if you have a DVR or other device as a source run the splitter directly from this device to the splitter and then to other devices such as a second receiver or a TV. If you run it to the TV then to a receiver or other device you may run into a problem as many TV's do not send the required signal out (even if it says the TV does or does not address that issue). Good luck, I know the units should send the signal but, you can email J-Tech if you can't find the problem and they will help, or send you a replacement if it is defective. However, I have several friends who have purchased the J-Tech on my advice and ALL their minor problems dealt with issues other than the splitter. On one system I had to turn everything off and hook up the connections then power up the connected devices then the splitter; it was an ARC problem but, that seemed to cure the problem. Again, good luck.

I was going to use a preamp but saw a video for installation. The preamp interfered with the signal. So I am not using a preamp. Watch YouTube brian shaw's, how to install two hdtv antenas. That will give you a better idea.

I'm searching all over the net for an answer to the same question. Just got this receiver yesterday and it works great! I submitted an inquiry with Yamaha Customer Support. Doesn't look like it is supported but I'll post back here when I get a response from them.

jmaze, would need a bit more info in order to be of help, most likly your tv speakers are not turned off and are fighting with the yamaha. I would suggest that you check all settings on the TV and on the yamaha. if still no luck, try calling cox and/or yamaha, both should walk you through the set up, good luck. dj

Hi Tom,I purchased a Panasonic BD80. They provide specific instructions and connected it to Onkyo for analog audio 5.1ch. There is a setup screen to select 5.1ch and I was sure to select multichannel PCM. I used the Onkyo DVD multichannel button on the remote started playback. It did display "multichannel" but not PCM. It still sounds like stereo to me and have no idea what I might might have done wrong. Any way thank for your help.Dennis

No. The only inputs are the three component inputs, and your choice of spdif inputs (optical or "coax" sound). You'd need some sort of tuner to convert the signal from the coax cable, like a set-top box. There are other devices around that do that, but this isn't one of them. I have a Yamaha stereo receiver with hdmi inputs and one hdmi output. This little device lets me connect an old Panasonic DVR with a component output to the Yamaha, and then just switch devices on the TV with the Yamaha remote (media pc, blu-ray player, DVR).

This is a TV display monitor, not a TV receiver. It connects to a receiver, cable TV, or satellite receiver video output.

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

I have everything going to my TV (so that is my limit on HDMI inputs). I then just run 1 optical from my TV to the soundbar.. and *any* input/sound combination then successfully is sent to the soundbar (hdmi1 for fios, hdmi2 for bluray player, hdmi3 for xbox etc)

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.

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

Sorry this took so bloody long (if you'll pardon my French). On the back of the unit you will find a bank of 5.1 outputs (there are none for 6.1); using a 5.1 cable (not supplied, naturally), connect these to the corresponding inputs on your amplifier / receiver. Or, if your amplifier / receiver is so equipped, you can use the coaxial connection (coaxial cable also not supplied). Hope this helps. My first thought was to refer you to the User Manual, but that woulda been snarky, and anyway the darn thing is so confusing it should be called a Useless Manual. But anyway, ciao for now!

There is a transmitter and receiver. You must run receiver signal through something (amp) to display/hear it.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!
