I have a Yamaha 5930 5.1 receiver but it does not have HDMI connections. Is there a way to convert the Video Components to HDMI capability through a switch or adapter?

You can buy video-to-HDMI converters. Here's one through Amazon.com, but there are many other sources. I just picked it as a sample since it was a nice picture. I didn't do much searching, so I don't know how common or expensive a converter with multiple input capability might be. But simpler A/V selector switches are available, so if you have several things you want to connect you can get one to use along with the converter.

Keep in mind that conversion to HDMI won't give you the same quality as the direct HDMI output from a device. So if you have several devices with HDMI outputs, you might be better off buying a new receiver with HDMI inputs instead of dealing with switches and converters. It will ultimately be easier to hook everything up, and you'll have better A/V quality too.

How to hook up to panasonic tv & sony dvd player

DVD output (HDMI) to HDMI input on TV will transfer both audio and video from DVD to TV. Audio output on TV to unused Input on Yamaha receiver (Aux, CD, etc.). This hookup will allow DVD and TV channels audio playback through your Yamaha receiver. Remember to test any/all new hookups or connections using minimum settings (volume, etc.), and bring up levels slowly for the initial testing.

How do i connect my HDTV to my YAMAHA HTR-5930 receiver? for example i am watching a movie from my usb port on my LG 42LE5300 or i am playing on my xbox, how do i get that sound to come out of the...

The simplest for the movie would be to connect the Optical digital audio out of the TV (above the VGA port) to the Optical Audio In on the receiver. You will need to get this cable from any store that sells TOSLink cables. The manual for the TV is available here: http://www.lg.com/uk/tv-audio-video/televisions/LG-led-tv-42LE5300.jsp . The manual for the receiver is available at the Yamaha support page if you are a registered Yamaha customer: http://download.yamaha.com/search/product/?category_id1=16445&&category_id2=16446&product_id=1060939 .

For the XBox, I'd suggest the same connection if you are using HDMI out on the XBox. If you are using component or composite video, route the audio cables to the receiver's RCA audio in.

I hope this helps.

Is the Yamaha RX-V596 capable of using HDMI in

Nope. Use S-Video or composite video In and digital audio in from the Cable Box, S- or composite-video out to the TV/Monitor.

OR (what I do) skip the receiver as a video middleman and take the HDMI video right to the TV; and run the Cable Box digital audio to the Receiver.

With Cable connected to the rx-465 input, I'm not getting HDMI output to a Samsung plasma TV. With DVD HDMI input I get HDMI output to the TV. Any suggestions on what I'm missing. Thanks, Greg

is the cable connection hdmi? is the unit capable of upconversion to hdmi, if you use a component connection? probably not. if it is capable of upconversion, check your input menu settings

What is the correct wiring connection using hdmi and optical cables from a lcd tv to yamaha yht292

If you tv has a hdmi input, connect it to the Yahama receiver hdmi output (out). If you are using a satellite receiver, digital converter, or a cable box with hdmi output(s), connect them to the Yahama hdmi input (in) for video and audio signals. If the above box(es) do not have hdmi capabilities, then connect the box(es) to the Yahama with either component (preferred), svideo, or yellow RCA compsite video jack (least preferred) for the video signal. For audio, connect the box(es) with optical or coax (preferred) or left-right-center-front-rear patch cords.

It really all depends on what outputs are available on the boxes and/or signal source(s).

Hope this helps,

Hdmi in but no analog out

the guy was wrong. the analog and digital portions of the receiver are totally separate.

according to Yamaha:

"Be sure to connect your video components in the same way you connect your video monitor to this unit. For example, if you connect your video monitor to this unit using an HDMI or COMPONENT VIDEO connection, connect your video components to this unit using
the HDMI or COMPONENT VIDEO connection."

sorry bud:-(

No video signal on Yamaha HTR 5930

On , HTR-5930, composite inputs are routed only to composite outputs. The same happens to component input. You can't see video from V AUX if your TV is hooked-up on component output. Also, check if you connected correctly GREEN, BLUE AND RED on both receiver and TV SET.
