Splitting the HDMI Out on a Yamaha RX675

[panasonicman666]

Hi All,

I have been searching all over for this and have a simle set up...

Yamaha RX675 amp with 1 output
7 cannel Kef speakers
i then have...

Tv on wall (LG 55 inch) with a HDMi in wall goign straight to the Yamaha amp - Excellent no issues what so ever


I now have a projector, in fact i have 4 TV points in the room but at the min am only using 2 (projector and LG TV)

Ideally i should have purchased an amp with 2 hdmi outputs as i need to manually switch the HDMI's to watch the projector.

So, what to use, a switching box or splitter?

I have all neet cables and like their products, what would you suggest somethign like the below? i want to maike sure the pass through will still work?

Yes, all you need is an HDMI splitter. Those receivers with two mirrored HDMI outputs simply have the splitter integrated into them and there's no reason why you can't use an external splitter.

You need to use a splitter and not a switch. An HDMI switch is used ro switch multiply HDMI inputs to one output and cannot be used in reverse to split one source to several outputs. There's nothing wrong with the original Neet HDMI splitter you posted a link to and tat would be all that you need.

After saying this, you should use something other than a long HDMI cable if the HDMI cable run from the receiver to a PJ is greater than 8m. You'd be well advised to consider using HDMI over cat6 for long runs in order to avoid signal dropouts.

Thank you for this, i think the HDMI to TV is 7m and the HDMI to projector is 10m? it was a really good quality one, the third point is 15m and the 4th would have been 25m so i did that over cat 6. In reality the projector will never give me the quality of the TV ad for now i only have a 720p projector, i got the best of everything (i could afford inc screen etc) but ran out of cash on the projector so got what i could bolt up and switch over at a later date. Ill give the neet one a go and see what happens, it will be so much easier than switching the HDMI's over thank you for your help
