Did you adjust audio settings-BD audio settings to "direct"? You need to feed direct, not pcm, to the 606. I have this problem with my sony s-550, but now they are mates matched in heaven. Just finished watching Traitor: dolby trueHD, Max Payne:DTS-HDmaster audio, The Dark Knight: dolby digital blu-ray. The sound is seriously lossless like what they said.Also, have you adjusted preset listening mode in setup menu of the 606? Set Dolby TrueHD to Dolby TrueHD , and such in that sub menu?Hope this help, BTW, the 606 is the beast once that TrueHD or HD-Mastr light are up !

I gurantee that the 606 will show Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA if you do it correctly, play with it for a while till it works. I just finished watching Rambo (2008) in DTS-HD MA. I don't know about PS3 so it might have different menu from stand-alone BD player like S-350 and S-550.PS: click my name/profile to see the TrueHD picture lit on the onkyo 606 !

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

Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3. Thing is, for some reason I can't seem to get the PS3 to output dolby surround or dts. I'm running an HDMI cable from the PS3 into the HDMI 2 port on the tv. Then I'm running a fiber optic digital cable from the tv into my little mini receiver -- I have a set of Logitech THX 5.1 speakers. I can get the PCM Stereo on DVDs and BluRay discs, but not surround. I know it's not an issue from the TV to the receiver, because I still get dolby surround on TV shows that have it. I've also tried adjusting setting on the PS3. Any advice? Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

Ran into the same problem. Upon close examination of the user-guide (bottom of page 28), and upscaling section on Amazon's product page, please note that upscaling to HDMI will ONLY work if you do not have component cables going to the TV AND the source signal is 480i/576i (so a component signal set to 720p, or 1080i will NOT upconvert). If you set your device (like an XBOX, wii, or whatever) to 480i output, then this Yamaha will upconvert it to HDMI.

As of today's date, the HDMI issue has not been resolved by SONY. My recommendation is to look elsewhere for a receiver. I understand from research that ONKYO had a similar problem very early in 2013. However, the difference appears to be that ONKYO has resolved the problem. I returned my SONY 1040 and purchased ONKYO 626. A bit less power, however, I can watch TV without unplugging the receiver every few days just to get it to work.

Mine failed today. I found out Onkyo has issued a recall for loss of audio. They are giving me the option to have it repaired or a $125 rebate towards a new receiver. Going to get it repaired and be done with Onkyo if it fails again. This was my 2nd Onkyo receiver and both of them had issues with the HDMI board.

There is also an area where you can manually set black levels which may help. Your problem seems a little different than mine. I have the TV, Pioneer Receiver, and PS3 as the Blu-Ray player. I haven't had a problem since I switched it to standard mode.

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but my issue is with component input from satellite receiver and especially when there are changes in screen format at commercial break, and/or heavy action scenes like bright flashes/explosions, etc. I DO not find that there are any issues with hdmi input from my blu-ray player or DVD/VCR. Appears to me that there is an issue processing the action quickly enough. I contacted Onkyo online a month ago and never received a reply.

While I personally do not own a ps3, and cannot answer the question from experience, I do suggest looking at: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4584/~/hdmi-sound-issues#humOther troubleshooting suggestions include changing the HDMI cable, as it may be defective. If all else fails, do contact ASUS technical support or Sony PS3 technical support.

Hi Dennis, Try pressing the test tone button on the remote, and see if your getting sound from all speakers. Also, did you use the RCA cables from the BD player to the Onkyo? ( one for each speaker ) Don't forget to choose the right format from the Blu-ray disk ( Dolby truehd / DTS HD master audio ) If your still having a problem, let me know..I can probably walk you through a little more detail.

So I tried standard no luck, the light issue is still there making the entire background a washed out black. I tried putting my receiver on pure direct mode hoping this was a noise issue...no luck there either. I tried hooking the blu-ray player directly to the tv no luck agian still have the light issue. I also did the software upgrade on the tv. I'm now wondering if this a problem with the signal from my blu-ray player. Any help would be appreciated! Here is my setup: Samsung UN55B8500, Denon 3800DCI Blu-ray player, Denon AVR 5308CI all Hdmi cables are monster brand.

Hi, I am assuming the PS3 plays BD right? I say connect to that HDMI port unless you have the additional BD player. HDMI is audio and video signal combined so it should work wherever you plug it in. Good luck! I love my 920 so far.

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

Ya im really worried that the feed from my blu-ray player is causing the issue because when i have the player off & its running through the receiver the background is dark black with denon displayed on screen like it should be, then when i turn on the bluray palyer im back to the side lighting isssue. I have a ps3 so i will try it but that means I lose all my hd sound due to the limitations of the ps3. :(

What 2 channel types do you have?I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.
