Wii Upconversion Lag? Have others experienced a lag between audio and video when outputting a Wii signal over HDMI?

I wonder whether the component video cable might be the key. Perhaps the user who had problems was using a composite cable instead. I'm about to order this receiver and try it with my component cable.

If you have component cables, you can record through the Wii. I actually have my component cables running from the Wii to the Hauppauge, then to my TV, so it definitely works.

Let's assess the situation a little further. Presumably you mean your 'old' super nintendo on your 'new' HDTV? To start with, your 'slight' shaking sounds like a calibration bug, probably in the nintendo, but possibly in the HDTV. It probably didn't display it's bugginess in older analog equipment because your digital TV has much smaller, more exacting tolerances than what it replaced. This HDMI convertor would be most likely to amplify the distortion/transient frequency causing the 'shaking'. It is possible that an RMF modulator like the one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Audiovox-Corporation-CRF907R-Compact-Modulator/dp/B0014KKV7W/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396961448&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=RMF+convertor http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SWS2103W-17-Moduator-Converter/dp/B001UYUNSE/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396961448&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=RMF+convertor could possibly clean up the signal before feeding it to your HDTV. Mind you, it will feed the signal to the TV as channel 3 or channel 4, by using a Coaxial cable to the TV. Your TV ought to downgrade it's receiver to analog reception and automatically abandon it's digital 'ghosts'. Before you start pulling plugs, check your HDTV menu -- audio menu -- make sure it's set up for PCM (I believe that's what it's called) which is only 2 channel audio (or two front speakers plus sub-woofer). Your TV's default setting may be 'surround' sound, and unless you have a surround sound theater sound system, the digital processor in the TV may be generating the unwanted jitters due to high decibel game console audio input. Lastly, if you do try to use this HDMI video convertor, it does only support 2.1 digital audio and not surround sound. Given the age of the super nintendo gaming console (isn't it older than Windows XP, for which Microsoft just discontinued support today?) maybe you'll consider saving your money for a newer console, or an actual gaming PC with dedicated graphics processing onboard.

No latency issues that I can see. You would have to set up some elaborate way of checking, but the box seems to do the job. One point of interest: the signal only goes one way (SDI to HDMI) and not the other (HDMI to SDI).

i have not tried the "Game Mode" but latency / lag didn't seem bad when I used HDMI cable from my laptop. Of course the HDMI limitation slows it down a lot but I will test it more when HDMI 2.0 update is released.

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

HDMI cable worked with AV receiver just fine ... both video and audio signal from Wii to receiver, then video signal to TV and audio to external speakers. I did not need to use a separate audio output.

Have you confirmed console and cable work on a regular TV? SNES is output at 240p there may be a setting to better capture this, but with the lag I can't imagine it being very playable.

Many TVs have a component input location the is made up of five ports. There are 3 for the 3 colors the tv displays and 2 for audio of course. If your TV does not have a place to plug in the component cables, you will need to get a converter. Your TV probably has and hdmi input. If not, just stick with the composite cable. The wii isn't a high definition device anyway so you won't display in 1080p ever with it. These cables do work for Wii U.

To the best of my knowledge, this receiver will not convert analog signals to HDMI, so you will have to change the TV input over when you switch from DVD to Wii.

Sorry I don't know because after transmitting the video as an SDI signal thru 100 feet of coax I am going into an HD encoder and the IP thru a wireless LAN and transmitting it 1/4 mile. The video has about a 2 second lag time but I think almost all of it is from the IP encoder not the SDI conversions.

I use this device with my Nintendo Wii attached to my laptop, once you set the options correctly, turn off the features for recording, it works without lag. I have no issues with playing games other than reduced video quality.

Does the HDMI up-conversion only convert signals that are not connected via HDMI cables?In other words, when I connect my cable box to the receiver via HDMI port, and from the receiver to the TV via HDMI port, will the receiver up-convert the non-HD cable channels?

Depending on your setup, this is incorrect.If you have an HDMI cable out to your TV, any input signal is getting upconverted. That means if you have a composite cable at 480i going in, it's getting sent at the highest possible conversion. Of course, there's only so much you can do with a 480i signal, so it doesn't look all that much better - but yes, there is upconversion happening.

I actually have the same question. I can say that for a while I was using a HDMI switch and didn't have any difference in lag with it or a straight connection so hopefully this will be the same.

Is it possible to pass through component video such as a Wii to HDMI on this unit. I know the VSX-919AH-K can do it. I would put these 2 in the same class. I just need a pass through from Component to HDMI, do not need the up-conversion. I really like the Onkyos ability to regulate sound such as TV commercials to normal levels, I really really hate this when watching TV. I have 2 old Kenwood THX receivers that cant do anything about it and only support Component video.
