So rather than just buying an HDMI splitter, I'm going to upgrade my receiver so my parents can have my old one. That said, I need one with at least two HDMI outputs (one for the TV in the front room, and one for the TV on the other side of that wall, in my bedroom). Thus far, the only receiver I've found in my price range has been the Onkyo TXSR876 with 4 HDMI in and 2 HDMI out. Right now I'm using a Pioneer Elite VSX-01TXH and it's been great, but I cannot find any way to set my current receiver to output both video and audio through the HDMI out. I'm wondering if anyone who has a receiver with more than one HDMI out can tell me if this is possible.
I want the 7.1 surround setup I have to be delivering the sound when I'm outputting to the big screen here in my theater room, but when I switch over to outputting through the second HDMI out, I want video and sound to both be done by the TV hanging on the mount near my bed. I don't want to have my whole house shaking with the 7.1 speakers in the other room going all night while I'm watching TV in the bedroom, just the speakers built into the TV.
Also, anyone who can think of some comparable receivers with at least 3 HDMI inputs and at least 2 HDMI outputs, I would love to take a look at them. I would also like to know if I'm going to be taking a step sideways or down or forward going from the Pioneer to the Onyko if that's the way I go, I really have no experience with Onkyo at all but I've been using Pioneer receivers for 6 years now and they've been dang good.
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have!
