I don't think the 445 does audio through HDMI. Only the new 247, 347, last year's 645 and 745 do audio through HDMI. You can get refurb 645/745 from eBay Harman store with full warranty for a pretty good price. Check it out. I ended up buying a 745. Awesome.

I just got the AVR 445 and it has one HDMI input and 2 output HDMI, the sound is great. It is set up with KEF speakers and Velodyne sub.

The 445 does not pass through audio, to the best of my knowledge it cannot pass through 1080/24p, although I have not tried to do it with mine.

But as far as sound is concerned I must say the sound produced by my 445 is fantastic. If your not looking for something that can decode the latest codecs and dont require a lot of HDMI inputs its a great AVR.

Isn't it the other way around, 2 HDMI inputs and 1 output?

Yes, 2-1 switch.

All the 445 does with HDMI is switching. IOW, not only does it not process the Audio signal, it does not process the video signal - it only passes the signal through to another HDMI device.

YES, that's written in the manual....I guess people who are disappointed in 445 did not read the description.
