Standby pass thru not working on Yamaha Rx-V471

[Astrotolus]

I've just setup my new Yamaha RX-V471, I have an HDMI cable connected from the receiver to the TV (Panasonic TH-42PX80U), an Xbox 360 connected to HDMI 2 and an HTPC connected to HDMI 1 with left/right RCA cables connected to the receivers "Audio" input. I have HDMI Control in the receiver set to Off. At the moment I just have the 2 front and center speakers connected.

I think I'm just missing something key here, but when I turn the receiver off neither the HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 input audio is passed through to the TV. I have went into the Setup menu and enabled "Standby Through", should I not be able to pass the audio through to the TV like this?

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like you've got the menu set up right for the "Standby Through" and "HDMI Control." Do you have "HDMI OUT (TV)" set to "On"? If not, try that.

Also, are you passing audio to the receiver over those HDMI connections from the Xbox and HTPC? I ask because you mentioned using analog audio connections. If you aren't sending audio to the receiver over those HDMI connections, then no audio would be passed on to the TV. I'm not trying to be patronizing - I just want to cover the bases.

Hi Adam. I have tried the "HDMI Out (TV)" setting both on and off, didn't help.

On the 360 I'm using a single HDMI cable for video and audio, on the HTPC I'm using analog audio via 3.5mm - stereo RCA cables for now because I can't figure out how to get audio out the HDMI cable on the GeForce GT 240, but that's another project...

Any other ideas?

My fault, I still had the HDMI input on the TV that the receiver was connected to set to look for its audio on an analog input from when I had the HTPC connected there. Now that I've set the audio for that HDMI input to Digital it works.

Thanks for the help.
