To use this for movie watching on HTPC the play pause controls seems on one side volume up down other for tv. Is this correct?
997189
That's correct. One side controls TV/av and does not light up, but there's very few buttons on that side to remember. Htpc controls on the other.

It was agift for my dad,so Idon't have it in front of me. But I'll do what Ican for you. Go to the settings on the menu. Look for audio settings or speaker settings. There is a menu for speaker levels. Adjust levels too your liking. Usual settings are 0 for left and right fronts. 0 for center and 0 for both surround. I set it at +2 for center and +2 or 3 for surround speakers.Play with your remote. Don't be afraid to explore the menus or settings. The only way to learn is by trail and error. It took me about an hour to adjust all the settings to my liking. I'll play a blu-ray section over and over until I get it where I like it. That's part of the fun of it.

Rick, try going to your Sound controls from your "Control Panel" buttons. I recently connected to a TV through my HDMI and I find that I have to manually switch the sound there from "Speakers" (which is my computer sound) to "NVidia Hi-Def Audio" in order to get sound to the TV if I'm trying to watch something on Hulu over there. One annoying glitch though: The switch only allows for you to change your "Default" settings (be sure to hit default if "apply" by itself doesn't work... that's what I have to do.) so you then have to go through the procedure each time you change. Annoying, but workable if you don't have to do it a whole lot. - MJM

I have never used the pause on the Aquos remote. I have only ever used the DirectTV remote to pause a DVD. Sorry!

According to my owner's manual, besides 'start', 'stop' and 'pause', it has 'fast motion play', 'slow motion play', 'step motion play' and 'skip motion play'. Besides controlling the player, the remote has a TV 'on/off', TV 'volume' and a TV input 'source'. All of these controls are activated by pushing a button on the remote. There is no zoom control, but you can set the TV aspect ratio and the resolution. In addition, there are three menus; 'disc' menu, 'popup' menu and 'Home' menu. Any one on those menus allows you to pre-select or set different functions such as those you would use over and over again. You can also set different audio modes. There are quite a few other settings I have not used yet; movie frame speed, wired and wireless network, language, security, parental ratings and with a computer connected to the USB port you can see files (like doing a slide show) from your computer. The unit is small; 12" wide, 8" deep and 1-1/2" high and is very light weight. My only complaint is the time-out time length when you press 'pause' (like to go to the bathroom); it is too short for me (my other Blu-ray player pause time is about 12-15 minutes). I don't know if you can change the pause length time. I got this player so I could watch DVDs and Blu-ray discs from any country (zone) in the world.

ChrisI have a setup where I have my 360 connected to a receiver via HDMI and the HDMI out from the receiver to my TV. I have my TV sound off, all sound coms from my home theatre system speakers. But if you turn on the TV sound along with the home theatre sound, I see some delay, may be fraction of a second, but its noticeable.There is absolutely no delay in the picture probably because the picture is a passthrough while sound needs to be amplified. So if you leave the TV sound off, you should not have any issues.

The unit has select buttons so you can only use one function at a time. Not really sure why you'd want to watch a movie and listen to turntable at the same time though. If your syncing a record like "Dark side of the moon" to "The wizard of Oz" you would turn the tv down.

Tom,Yep, did the test tone both from the Onkyo and BD player. All 6 speakers responded. I did set the BD player for PCM for all formats for 5.1ch. It's my understanding when using the Onkyo DVD Multichannel during playback, the Onkyo ignores its own speaker settings and uses whatever is coming from the BD player. Perhaps I need to tinker with the speaker settings in the BD player. Thanks,Dennis

I play DVD's all the time on my TV and have never had an issue with the stock settings. Are you using appropriate HDMI cables for the connection to the TV? Sounds like you have a cable issue, not a TV issue.

Yes, this unit has a "hold" switch you can click on to keep your place during interruptions. I think it can resume playing movies at the same point where you left off even if you don't click on hold, but I'm not sure if it can with TV episodes on DVD.

The tv volume won't flow through to the speakers. However, if you always want your speakers at the same volume, I suppose you wouldn't need the volume remote. I like to adjust volume from tv to movies to music, but that's just me.

The control can perform a number of functions (including play/pause, skip, etc.), but it depends on your device. If you are using an Android device, there are apps such as JAYS Headset Control (free on the Play Store, which I use), that allow to perform those functions, as well as others; like volume up or down.

I have the same problem. It seemed OK until I added a BluRay DVD and then even with the window (winter) open behind it shuts down with the volume setting much about 30. It runs somewhat hot, but I don't think it should be hot enough to shut down. Currently I must use the TV volume set higher and hard to get good sound from my high efficiency regular speakers. With the tuner I have no problems. I am not happy with the unit.

It Is most likely the setting on your surround sound receiver. Try them all , for instance the volume seems higher on theater setting for mine.

It depends on your TV. Many don't relay sound from HDMI in to their own OUT ports, or (as Brandon suggested) might do so only after their settings were changed (see TV manual). See AVSForum.com for discussion and a place to get more detailed help.

I don't know for sure but my guess would be no. There is no independent way to control it "play, pause, stop, forward or reverse." It does work really well through a computer though you need to make sure your computer has the graphic capacity to handle blu-rays, most of the new ones do. I didn't need to down load the software that came with mine, just plug and play for me.
