Thanks for the responses. So,
I do love karaoke. I do it all the time in my living room - RBH SVT Towers, Denon AVR-5308CI, and $200 Yamaha Stereo Mixer.
Got to have that Yamaha mixer!
YouTube Karaoke PC --> HDMI Out --> HDMI Splitter -->
A. HDMI 1 goes to AVR as "HTPC"
B. HDMI 2 goes to HDMI-to-Component Video + L/R Stereo RCA Converter Box -->
A. Component Video goes to AVR as "Karaoke" for Video
B. L/R Stereo RCA goes to the Yamaha Mixer for Sound --> Yamaha Mixer Audio L/R Outputs goes to AVR as "Karaoke" for Audio
The Microphone connects to the Yamaha Mixer.
If my TV can already output Video and Audio separately (say through the aforementioned Component Vid/Aud) then I won't need the RCA Converter box correct?
Also, that $200 Yamaha mixer seems like a BEAST for just combining mic and TV audio. There are other mixers I can see but I don't have the experience with audio equipment to know if they will work.
Let me be very specific about my setup so I can understand which configuration might be best. Right now I have the following equipment and configuration:
1. TiVo Bolt ----(HDMI)----> AVR -----(HDMI-ARC)----> TV
2. AVR -----> Speakers
The video and audio (Youtube) is being sourced from the TivO as it's the one connected to the internet and I'm using the YouTube TiVo app to play videos.
Can I do the following?
1. TiVo Bolt ----(HDMI)---->TV (Audio+Video)
2. TV ----(Audio Out)----> Mixer (Audio Input 1)
3. Mics---(Audio Out)----> Mixer (Audio Input 2)
4. Mixer----(Audio Out)---> AVR (Cable/Sat Input)
I'm using Cable/Sat in step 4 so I can always listen to TV audio on that channel, but not listen to Mics when they are turned off.
Is that possible?
Mike
