[QUOTE="aspik, post: 1131917, member: 72523"] Hello Everyone :) I recently bought a AV-receiver and have some thoughts about connecting it to the HTPC. I never had an AV receiver, always some active PC-Speaker connected with a 3.5mm jack. My HTPC is currently an Intel NUC. As the NUC doesn’t have an SPDIF output, I decided to buy a USB to SPDIF adapter. Found a very affordable solution from Delock: [URL]http://www.delock.com/produkte/F_438_Sound-Produkte_61961/merkmale.html?setLanguage=en[/URL] My plan was to use the currently NUC mini-HDMI -> TV HDMI connection for the video and the audio sending over a Toslink cable to the AVR. The receiver that I bought is a Yamaha rx-v377: [URL]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882115476&cm_re=yamaha_rxv_377-_-82-115-476-_-Product[/URL] Once the AVR arrived I took a closer look at the available connections and found one HDMI port that was labeled as OUT (the rest of the HDMI ports are Inputs). I thought, the HDMI output should work as a pass-through port. I decided to connect the NUC to one of the HDMI input ports and TV to the HDMI output. The NUC is now sending video and audio over HDMI to the AVR, the AVR is passing through the video to the TV and playing back the audio signal.

I'm using MPAR as audio renderer which is working without a problem :) Reading the forum, I can't recall to see that someone here is using such a connection, or am I wrong? I wonder, how do you connect the AVR + HTPC and TV? SPDIF? HDMI splitter? Or maybe your HTPC has simply more than just one HDMI an you sending video and audio over two HDMI ports? [/QUOTE]
