Onkyo SR605 and HDMI Switcher?

post #1 of 12

Thread Starter 
Here is my situation...

Onkyo SR605
- PS3 HDMI
- XBOX 360 HDMI
- HDA35 HDMI
- HD DVR HDMI

Obviously, since the SR605 has only 2 HDMI in's, I need to figure out a way to add more. I really do not want to invest $1,300.00 in a nicer receiver with 4 HDMI in's.

Is there a good reliable 1.3 HDMI switch that will work with the SR605?

Any advise or help is appreciated.

Bump as I'm curious about this also, but more specifically, I'm interested in an auto-sensing HDMI switch that isn't ridiculously expensive. Is there such a thing?

My main concern is that a switch will allow for TRUHD audio pass through
example... HDA35 --> Switch --> OnkyoSR605 --> TV

Yes anxiously looking for an answer cause I can get a great price on the 908HTIB and it comes with the 605 but I have the same issue with 4 HDMI outlets and it only allowing 2.

I am hesitant on the onkyo 805 receiver because of a lot of lip synching issues. So I want the 605 but that 2 hdmi's is a killer if I can't get my 3 way switcher to go in one input and the fourth hdmi into the other input and then one out to the tv.

Anyone who can offer their experience I thank immensely!

An auto sensing switcher would be the TERK HDMI-31 (3 to 1 switch). I have one and it works great with my 605/PS3/360/HDSat. I have my HDSat hooked to HDMI-1, and the switch hooked to HDMI-2. Then the PS3 and 360 are hooked to the TERK switch. It switches automatically between the PS3 and 360 depending on which one was activated last. It works at 1080p just fine and also works with the PS3's 1080@24FPS setting.

That is great! Do you know if it will allow for TruHD audio pass through?
