Hello,
I have had a Yamaha 6160 for a few years now, and love it. I currently have a VCR via composite in, upconverting DVD via HDMI, XBOX via component + optical, and a Wii via component + optical. I am about to add a PS3 to the mix in order to acquire a BluRay player. I have discovered I may be short of inputs.
The 6160 comes with 2 HDMI in, of which I am only using 1. However, as far as I can tell, the second HDMI in is in fact the same video in as the DTV/CBL in which is already in use for my XBOX. Can I hook the PS3 into that HDMI port and just ensure the XBOX is off? Will it act as a kind of a switch where it only takes the input of whatever is on at the time, or will it screw it up because I have the XBOX input on the Yamaha configured for Component in + optical?
Am a bit confused as to how I am going to hook this up. I could replace the DVD player with the PS3 since it will be able to handle all of the same media + BR, but was wondering if I could get it all going without pulling the DVD player out of the mix. It does a great job upconverting, and would like to continue to use it for DVDs if possible.
Thanks,
FF.
