Wii to HDMI (Component to HDMI)

Nate Silvers · 11 Jan 2010 at 22:13

Anyone know how I can connect a Wii to a HDMI or DVI port? It's annoying that I have a big monitor infront of me but I gotta use a tiny 14' CRT to play CoD Reflex.

You're probably better off getting a component to VGA adapter for minimal cost/degradation of signal, though I haven't tried it myself so can't say it'd work for certain

Do any/many amps support component in / HDMI out?

Yep, my Wii/Xbox 360 is connected to my Onkyo 607 and output via HDMI to my TV.

Does it stick the sound over HDMI as well? (or do you have to run audio lead to the TV via rec loop to get sound on the TV? )

It's connected to my amp that outputs the sound, no need to then carry the sound to the TV?

Obviously... but sometimes I only want the sound though the TV, if i'm playing late at night for example.
