Anyone know how to hook this up to a receiver? I tried HDMI with no luck. I have a Sony STR-DN1040.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

did you hook the receiver to the soundbar so the receiver should be the output and the soudbar should be the input if it is the other way it will not work

I have my TV connected to the Soundbar via optical as well and it works fine. I had to buy the cable separately though. I would think that HDMI is all you need since the Soundbar acts as an HDMI hub.

Um.. I don't have that issue but I believe I know why. If she's not using the HDMI cable, Amazon won't work. She needs to hook up her TV and the Sony via the HDMI cable. I had a similar issue with my old TV, which didn't support HDMI although my receiver did.

what receiver model do you have? The newest one does not show RGB output, only VGA, HDMI and the modern modes. If your receiver has an RGB output, then it should work. Check your cable connections make sure they are tight, and color codes matching.

Read the manual. You must select source. Call Onkyo if need be.mine works fine

I use the 'HDMI' instead of the 'VGA' output. Since that connection is available on the receiver unit, I would have to guess it will probably work, as you require.

Please let me know what connections did you use to get this improvement? I am experiencing the same problem. Did you use component out from DirectTV HD DVR and/or SD DVD player to the receiver? Did you use a separate digital out to the receiver for the sound?

How do I hook this up to my home stereo, Denon AVR-x2000? I have a cable that is 1/4" plugged into main outs into RCA input on my receiver. Still no go

Call Onkyo customer service. I had the same issue and they took care of the problem. My receiver was repaired and shipped back to me in about a week. I was very impressed. Hope you have the same experience.

I THINK from what you're asking, the simplest setup for you would be to connect everything to your receiver, then HDMI out from the receiver to the Sony transmitter box, then connect HDMI between the Sony box and your display. If your monitor doesn't have HDMI, you can easily find an HDMI to DVI cable here on Amazon to connect between display and Sony box. DR, what is pan. monitor? Are you just listing a bunch of brands? If my suggestion doesn't work, clarifying your question with complete sentences might make it easier for people to answer you.

If hdmi at player then get a hdmi cable to dvi connection, or hdmi to dvi adapter. Hope this helps.

Has anyone tried an HDMI connection from a computer into his receiver? I'm considering hooking up a Mac Mini to it and using media server software to send it audio and video.

Try to check if you are at the right corresponding HDMI input. If that doesn't work try to go to > System preference > displays > click the HDMI output.Hope this work cause mine works fine.

Hi and thanks for the info; I just went to press the "menu" button but saw nothing from the receiver face plate or the TV screen. Are you referring precisely to the Sony STR-DN1010 model? I have wired the single center back speaker wires to either of the 2 center back on the receiver, i.e. "+" to the left "+" and "-" to the right "-".

We have it hooked up through a Sony receiver. Its an older model Sony that we've had for a while. We have it connected to nice speakers, though, and it sounds great.

Hey Craig-Which optical input connection on the Onkyo receiver did you use to connect the optical cable from your TV? I'm not having success. :-(

I just bought this system. I haven't tested it yet but the way I have setup is this:PS3 to HDTV via HDMITV to Receiver via Optical InputThis way my I can use Inputs on my TV (it has a lot more inputs than this receiver.) and I get the quality sound. Good luck

You could try to update the firmware on your receiver, it worked for me. Very easy to do, but it ties up the receiver for an hour. See page 122 of the manual on how to do it. (https://docs.sony.com/release/STRDA5800ES_EN_FR.pdf)
