Question: Can I plug this into my Onkyo or Denon receiver or does it have to go straight into the TV?
Document: I have my Xbox One in the on input one and no matter what, when the Xbox One gets turned on it goes straight to the correct input and works like a charm!I used to have to switch my TV inputs and also lots of confusion on the receiver to get the correct device to work properly. Now, I have really simplified my setup with the Kinivo! I ran one optical cable from the TV to the Onkyo and one HDMI to the Kinivo output.
Just received this today and it works straight away, so easy to use, just plug in your HDMI leads from your devices and then the output HDMI lead to the TV and that's it. It detects a new device when it is turned on but you can go back to another unit if that is still running. Picture and sound quality is excellent.
Ideal product if you have a TV with only 2 HDMI ports. The drawback is that its infrared beam is not too strong, so you better point it straight to the IR receiver and don't be too far from it. Also, keep in mind that you need to have enough room on its sides to plug the cables. One advice is to use HDMI cables that you can twist.
I used to run my HDMI through my Onkyo receiver. Unfortunately the model of the receiver I have just passes through the video signal and not the audio. So for each device I had to plug in both the HDMI and audio cables. Further the Onkyo receiver would somehow loose the video signal. To get it back required turning the receiver on and off, moving/jiggling the receiver, replugging the cables, or if any of those didn't work, just waiting until it would decide to display the video again.
I then run the audio cable from the TV to the Onkyo receiver (using the Onkyo where it excels in, audio!). Now I have less cables, never loose a video signal, and get the added bonus of auto switching. I turn on one device, such as my Xbox and the video automatically switches to the Xbox. Turn off the Xbox, and the signal is back to my cable TV box.
I am using this device to switch HDMI inputs from 1) TiVo Premier, 2) Roku 2, 3) Apple TV 2, 4) Mac Mini, and 5) Sony BD player. The output of the switch is connected to HDMI1 of my Onkyo 606 receiver. The other three Onkyo HDMI inputs are problematic and not connected.All inputs work when switched on with the remote.
I've had Kinivo 501BN now for a few days and haven't had a problem. I have the power plugged into my receiver so when I'm not using it it's automatically shutdown by my receiver. I had another switch earlier that didn't support auto switching so I returned it and got this one. It works well with my Denon receiver, Sony Bravia 40" TV, Sony PS3, DirectTV HD DVR, LG BlueRay player and Apple TV.
I ordered this switch because my old Samsung 61' DLP TV only has one HDMI input on it and my old Onkyo receiver has none. I was looking to replace the receiver with another Onkyo that has HDMI inputs on it but that would at least cost $500. So once I found this item and read the reviews I thought I would give it a try. First I'll start with the only thing I don't like about it. I don't like the ports on the side of the device.
I have a  high end Denon Receiver that doesn't have enough HDMI inputs.We purchased a PS4 in November and also had recently purchased Apple TV so I needed an automatic switcher to handle these new toys (in addition to our existing ones).The Kinivo HDMI switch was my 3rd try in 3 months to get my A/V system working correctly.This product switches automatically, I don't even have to use the remote.
As I have 5 game consoles alone, all demanding HDMI, it got tiresome. In addition to the 5 game consoles I also have a Blu-ray player and cable box. I now have my PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Wii U all plugged into one port on my receiver via this switch. Previously I had to be using all the inputs on my receiver and also had to have some plugged straight into my TV thus giving up surround sound.
Answer: Hi Julie, I'm not sure about a connection between your Onkyo or Denon receiver. I suggest you pose this question to the support folks at Kinivo. Their number is 855-454-6486, and their hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm Pacific Time.
