looks like with the Pioneer you have to UNPLUG the power, wait and then plug in the power to reset. That worked...FYI

I have a Pioneer Elite 60 inch (2007) and a Yamaha A3070 in one room running BluRay,ATV, DirecTv and mini Directc. I also have a 26inch Aquos in the bedroom on Zone 2. Ive been having problems configuring the bedroom remote so I left it. last night it was on mysteriously and I used the remote...

Thanks Schan/Phil The Yamaha does provide the ability to provide HDMI audio out and when it does, it hasnt affected the normal speakers. So it looks like I'll give the 5557 a shot - not that expensive and if it works it will definitely be worth it. Thanks for hanging in there with me...

why the LOL??? Do you have a solution that works with the setup mentioned?

so if I place a HDMI switch between the AVR and the TV, the signal would be worse? RIght now the Yamaha switches between sources and 2 zones and I could be watching two separate sources in two rooms. If I place something between the sources coming into the AVR, I would loose my ability to do...

Schan - why would you prefer a 4X2 between the Yamaha & TV instead of something between the TV & Yamaha? (any suggestions?) Phil - I looked at 5557 but it says: "expand the input capabilities of an A/V receiver that doesn't support HDMI®" - (my receiver has HDMI) and mostly because it states...

Thanks for the clarifcation. I dont really need to go from Digital to Analog, matter of fact, I would rather not :) I was just looking for an HDMI pass-through device that has an additional HD audio optical out. My 3030 handles everything great except the optical audio for the headphones...

Does the de-embedder still work as a full pass through for the HDMI signal? It doesnt change the HDMI output at all does it? It just takes audio and duplicates it out the optical, correct? PS - I was lost with the acronyms... what's DAC? SACD? It could work as a pass through between my AVR...

I just had another thought that I would like opinions on.Is there a HDMI-HDMI-TOS switch that I could place between the receiver and the TV that would have an optical Audio out?Dont know if such an item exists, and, if so, what the caveats might be.

I'll have to check the BluRay Player.The ATV is the "newer" of the models - purchased about a year ago.Seems like the solution to my problem (unfortunately) will be to connect the three devices optical outs to an optical switch and eliminate the receiver from the headphones loop.While the...

I didnt see the second audio out message and connected an optical cable to my optical out on my Pioneer Elite 150. That didnt work. In reading the manual (good idea), I found the statement: When signals are input from the HDMI terminals, no signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT...

yes - the problem is that I'm using Zone 2 for the bedroom, not the headphones. I dont think I can use another zone for the bedroom and then have the Main/Zone2 be on at the same time It looks like I will have to run an optical cable from the TV itself back to the headphones....I was hoping that...

I just finished having my Yamaha RX - A3030 set up to control my Main LIving Room 5.1 system/TV as well as my Bedroom stereo /TV (Zone 2). I was originally told that I could hook up my Sony Optical wireless headphones to the A3030 and while hearing the sound through the speakers, I would also...

So if I get headphones that use optical, by using opitcal out for the headphones on the yamaha, would that negate the speaker wires out? or, could they work in unison?

Sennheiser just got back and said that the headphones use the RCA jacks. If I use the RCA jacks and the speakers are wired, will the Yamaha play through both? Someone else said that the Yamaha will not use HDMI input and push it out through the RCA Audio jacks, true?
