STR-DG920 pass through 3D content? Hi,I am planning to buy a 3D-capable HDTV any time soon, but I would like to save money by not buying a new 7.1 receiver. I currently have a Sony STR-DG920 receiver that works very well. It costs me USD499 two year ago, I feel that it would work fine for at least 5 more years.So, I would like to know if any of you have tried to pass through 3D content from any 1.3 HDMI receiver to 3D-capable HDTV (specially a STR-DG920 receiver).Thanks.

Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so). However, I still have my doubt about it. I have not tested it yet because I haven't bought the 3DTV yet. AS soon as I tested will let you know the results.Furthermore, I think that, even if it works, sooner or later, I have to buy a new receiver to feel that I am taking full advantage (or not missing something) of 3D capabilities.If I buy a new receiver, I would buy the new Sony 1010.Regards Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so).

I also have the same question but with a different sony receiver. Did you get it to work or did you have to buy a new amp.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Now, we are forced to buy a new receiver due to 3D capabilities. It is quite annoying...Regards

The RX-V665 can't pass through 3D video, Bluray player can't recognized a 3D TV through A/V receiver. If you have a HDMI switcher, one side to A/V receiver, will get HD-DTS audio and HD picture, NO 3D. Other side directly to 3D TV from Bluray player (HDMI) and audio through optical (toslink) bLURAY player 3D will work fine. Good Luck

HDMI passthrough requires a separate audio connection. Basically, you're not going to be able to get DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, or Multi-channel PCM through optical. This would require a receiver capable of handling HDMI audio (i.e. the 605 and higher). I would STRONGLY recommend going with the 605 over the 505 - it's much more future proof (because of the HD audio capabilities), and will keep you from having to buy a new receiver in the near future.

You have to use one of the 4 HDMI ports to pass through 3D. If you are it could be a problem with a the HDMI cable.

This one has HDMI 1.3 instead of 1.2, and supports DTS 5.1. The older one you have doesn't natively decode DTS. It's only passthru. Those are the major differences I know about.

Most 3d tv's from 2012 onward share the same glasses tech. I think Sony is the only company still using proprietary glasses. I personally bought the Samsung SSG4100GB glasses, and they work fine on my Panasonic DT50. If you have any type of light in the room other than the tv, it will distract you from the side as these glasses are open design and do not wrap around on the sides, but how can you complain when they are under $20 each.

I haven't found an HDMI cable that won't do 3D. My $2.99 HDMI cable runs 3D from blu-ray or online streaming to my receiver and then another $2.99 cable to my projector just fine and I have no issues.There are several tests showing Monster cable vs any generic HDMI cable with no differences.

I'd say it's defective as well. However, what device(s) do you have hooked to it? If you are trying to use 3D over it, it shouldn't work as this device is HDMI v1.3b and not v1.4. If you have multiple devices hooked to it, unhook all but one and try the different ports, it could just be a faulty port or even a bad cable. This is a great little device, I put mine in place in early 2013 and have 3 devices hooked to it, a dvr, a blueray player and a computer. I have never had too look at it again, it just keeps on working. Even if it is defective, I'd try another one because of the low price.

I was considering these as well. Interested to see what others post. Here is my research has yielded for 7.1 systems with Dolby True HD and DTS HD audio. A lot of people worry about upscaling, I only have blu ray player, so not much need for upscaling. Few do upscaling very well according to my research. Sony STR-DN1000: Nice HDMI connectivity, cleaner look, 100 watts per channel at 1% THD. I've heard upconversion is poor. $330 Sony STR-DH800: Does not upconvert analog sources. 100 watts per channel at 1% THD $250 Onkyo RC-160: Upconverts only to 1080i. 80 watts per channel at .08% THD $330 Onkyo SR-607: Upconverts to 1080p with okay quality, 90 watts at .08% THD $400 Pioneer VSX-919AH-K: .05% THD at 120 watts per channel, just 3 HDMI inputs, no upscaling capability $400 I realize these are Audio/Video Receivers, but it seems to me the main goal of most of them is for superior audio. After all, many TVs do a decent job making SD sources look better, even if you have to run an additional cable or two. To me, everything is going to be HDMI based, so I am leaning toward the Pioneer due to better power and less THD. $400 is very much on the high side of my budget. So if I decide to go with a cheaper receiver, I'll probably go with the Sony STR-DH800.

Lots of info on the wiki link. However, I did not find answers to these basic questions:* Is there a better connection when the ends are NOT gold-plated?* It seems, + correct me if I'm mistaken, that what type of HDMI cable you get (e.g. 1.3 vs 1.4) depends on the device you're hooking up (its type of connectors). Please confirm or clarify.* Also, what is wikipedia talking about when they say that in 2012, then numbers (e.g. 1.4) will have to be removed?THANKS!

No, There are currently no Sony recievers on the market that support HDCP 2.2. There is an Onkyo, but even it only has 1 port dedicated to it. The STR-ZA1000ES will support HDCP 2.2 but it is not available yet. Luckly right now there isn't very much content that supports HDCP 2.2. but it will become a problem later if you trying to future proof your system. They will be able to update the HDMI firmware but the hdcp is not backwards compatible due that the current hardware was not designed for it yet. Honestly, I would wait. They starting to roll out HDCP 2.2 Receivers soon, beats worrying about it later. Hope that helps. No, There are currently no Sony recievers on the market that support HDCP 2.2.

By all means go for it.I ended up paying a lot more to get a 3d Blue ray player. It works great but it cost a lot more than you are putting out. Good luck.

Yes, according to the owners manual for the unit. Page 27 states, 'To enjoy 3D images, connect 3D-compatible TV and video equipment to the receiver using High Speed HDMI cables, put on 3D glasses, and then play back a 3D-compatible content.' incidentally, this unit provides the best sound I have ever owned.

I do not know either since I do not have a 3D TV. I'm sure there is someone out there that does. Can you get hold of the manufacture for this question? I would try that or buy one from Amazon and if it does not work for you they will take it back which is fair since it is so hard to buy online without seeing or reading more about the product. There is so many electronic items out there one needs questions,but even Radio Shack persons can't answer all questions anymore,just bring it back they say. Sometimes I type my questions into Google and almost 99% of the time I can find an answer to almost any question,any subject that they can answer by some persons or some forums websites.

Not firsthand but I read a lot of reviews on 3D capable TV's and the prevalent opinion of those who have purchased such 3D TVs is that the feature improves the picture and is not high in cost. I bought my TV just a few days ago and may be able to give you a better answer soon. Hopefulskeptic

I bought a Sony STRDG920 receiver recently and I can confirm that it does turn itself on and off depending on the TV's state. Though it may depend on whether or not you have a Sony lcd tv connected to it. I'd test this out myself but the Sony Bravia is the only lcd tv I have!In case you wanted to know my setup consists of:- Sony STRDG920 Receiver- Sony Bravia XBR4 (40") - Cable tv is connected directly to the tuner. Sound output goes to the receiver.- Sony BDP-S350 Blu-Ray Player (HDMI)- Xbox360 (HDMI)- Nintendo Wii (Component)- Sony Playstation 2 (Component) I bought a Sony STRDG920 receiver recently and I can confirm that it does turn itself on and off depending on the TV's state.
