Question on Onkyo 605 and HDMI connection - Blu-ray Forum

aramis109 · 06-09-2008, 05:19 PM

I have an Onkyo 605 on the way and I have a n00b question-

Is it possible to hook up my 360 (via component) my wii (via component) and my PS3 (via HDMI) all to the receiver, and then send that all out to the tv via HDMI? Would I basically be able to reduce the wires running to the HDTV to only the one HDMI connection?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I wasn't sure if it was possible for the 605 to output all those different connections via HDMI.

It is possible to do so as it has 2+ component input and 1+ HDMI input and it outputs HDMI.

Please keep in mind that your 360 will be outputed HDMI but it will be limited by the component input. I would recommend inputing HDMI for it as the SR605 supports 2 HDMI inputs.

Thanks for the response. Actually my 360 is not an HDMI model. However, it'll output at 1080p via component so there's no limitation there. 1080p limitations over component are for movies only. Otherwise I definitely would!

But to know that it'll be possible to reduce all my wiring mess to the TV is a good thing.

The answer is yes, all those inputs can go out to your TV via one HDMI cable from the 605.

...if you connect the Xbox via component and output via HDMI, it will max at 720p.

crackinhedz · 06-09-2008, 05:49 PM

would be best just to connect your component cable directly to the TV and the optical cable to the receiver.

Ah, really? If that's the case then I'll just hook it up directly to the HDTV. Doesn't make a difference for the Wii since it can only do 480p anyway.

That's how I have it now. My TV can definitely handle all the inputs, but it'd be nice to have it a little cleaner.

Thanks for the responses guys.

I was trying to do this last night but couldnt figure it out.. Any help for a noob?

I have my ps3 and directv hooked to my 605 through HDMI
I have my Wii hooked to my 605 through componet

How do I setup the 605 to output the componet through HDMI?

Driver_King · 06-11-2008, 05:06 PM

Assign the component to HDMI output on the reciever.

mrbarker · 06-11-2008, 08:40 PM

Thats the setting I could not find.. I believe I have to enter a menu when connected through componet to my tv correct? Then turn on HDMI out..

Then it should work correct?

Driver_King · 06-11-2008, 10:19 PM

Yep. It should work. Try it out post your results.
