RCA audio input on TV is fed the red and white RCA audio output of the little box - that's it, the TV will play the audio signal.The question is does the TV have the 3rd RCA input [YELLOW] for video RCA yellow plug from the little box?????If so you, are set to go.....ALSO IF NEW BLURAY PLAYER HDMI HOOKED TO TV HDMI DOES NOT ALLOW AUDIO SIGNAL TO PASS, PERHAPS HDMI CABLE OR BLURAY OR TV IS DEFECTIVE.....TRY TO DO SOME CHECKING.

HDMI has both video and audio - if your TV has HDMI input and the Blue Ray has HDMI out - then you shouldn't need this box. Just conect the HDMI cable.

My advice to you is to the update you entertaiment system by getting a new blueray player or a ps3 (something that uses an HDMI ccable.) You are not getting your money worth by using rca cable on your 50 in HDTV. But if you refuse you could always by a rca splitter box. Can connect up to four devices into it and the box into the tv to view one device at a time.

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

Hey W. Chou is your X-box hooked up with hdmi? cause if it isn't then the problem is the Onkyo 5300 series does not up-convert so it has to come out of the receiver the same way it goes in. If your hooking up component video from the x-box then you have to run component video to the projector i almost made that mistake but i got the onkyo 7300 series that does up-convert it even sends standard composote video through HDMI .

No you cannot because the bluray only has video outputs not inputs. You have an audio input option using digital but that's about it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish ??

Check the Onkyo website FAQs for your unit. There is a list of reasons there. It isn't explained well in their manual. Make sure your blu ray isn't doing the decoding and sending a multichannel signal.

If optical is not working, HDMI pass throught will help for both video and audio. Also make sure the input for the optical on the receiver is setup correctly, on the back it will have TV or GAME as input for optical. Make sure the input is setup for either, and may have to cycle the inputs to make sure you have the right one.

i connected all of my hdmi devices to the sound bar including the TV which is plugged in to hdmi 1; i also used the digital audio out (optical) connex. All sound/video feeds through just fine. I just switch the input to hdmi port (hdmi 1 for tv, hdmi 2 for dvd/blu ray, hdmi 3 for roku).

No you need the hdmi to VGA converter box it converts digital to analog. The one in question converts analog to digital

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but my issue is with component input from satellite receiver and especially when there are changes in screen format at commercial break, and/or heavy action scenes like bright flashes/explosions, etc. I DO not find that there are any issues with hdmi input from my blu-ray player or DVD/VCR. Appears to me that there is an issue processing the action quickly enough. I contacted Onkyo online a month ago and never received a reply.

I have a Sony Home Theater Blu Ray surround sound system and no problems. On my Sony I turned Audio setting for the HDMI off. All sound goes through the Optical Cable. I also have BluRay disk set with External Speaker only sound. I'm really guessing the problem is in your Yamaha set up or wires. Just ensure optical wire is pushed all the way in. Good luck.

Dear Reb, It depend if your BluRay player have a composite RCA for AV output, then it will work. HDMI can only provide HD AV, NOT analog AV, therefor the 3.5mm plug can only provide analog audio. but an additional 3.5mm to 2xRCA Y-cable required on your Sony TV end. If your BluRay only have HDMI port, than this cable wouldn't work for your applications. Please see link for BluRay back panel details. We hope this have answer your question. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BDPBX39-Blu-ray-Player-Wi-Fi/dp/B0091VAHIO/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1404257822&sr=8-18&keywords=sony+bluray+player

Sam I just disconnected my TV from the receiver so I have the cable box and blu ray as the only signals to the receiver. I turn on the cable box and put on a music station. It plays fine with no cut off after 30 secs. or 10 minutes. I put a blu ray disc in the player and played the movie with no TV HDMI hooked up. I get great sound no picture, but the sound is uninterrupted. I believe your problem is either in the options or set up menu, possibly the connections, or options in the input devices...

I'm having a problem detecting the signal from my satellite box. It is very slow to turn on and tune the signal. When turned on it goes from the Bravia screen to no signal, audio only, then a flash of the signal then back to no signal then on . I thought it might be the hdmi cable but it's the same cable that was on the previous tv which worked fine. The old tv was a 37 xbr6 which was damaged in shipping.

What type of adapter are you talking about? I bought this because my Xfinity cable box, Blue-ray were HMDI capable, the plasma TV would only provide HDMI audio output if the receiver system plugged in by HDMI. Unfortunately the Sonos play bar only uses digital audio optical which conflicted with the TV's requirements. This allows me to plug everything and acts as the adapter, you could say, in this case.

All I can tell you is to call Sony and explain the situation. In my case I was getting no sound except from fm unless I did a reset. They walked me through a procedure where I shut off or disabled various hdmi functions and that solved the problem and said there was probably some conflict with some of the devices connected to the receiver.

It passes the audio to the speakers, not the TV, so you don't need any optical connections to the TV.Also, it won't decode any of the HD audio codecs from your BluRay or HD-DVD player, but it will accept the signal and pass it to the speakers. If your component doesn't have the option to convert the HDMI HD audio, then this receiver will down sample to Dolby Digital/DTS and pump it to the speakers,
