I have mine connected through a reciever for a whole bunch of devices and sometimes the signal only shows 2 channels. I had to turn off everything and turn it back on then it works fine

Don't have any experience with PS4 videogame. On my set, multi channel works flawlessly either when the config was: XBOX > TV > MDR-HW700 (HDMI1 IN)or XBOX > MDR-HW700 (HDMI 1 IN) + TV > MDR-HW700 (HDMI 1 OUT)NOTE: My TV set is connected to the MDR unit through its ARC Port into the HDMI Output of the MDR unit.NOTE2: On my Xbox One, I set its output to HDMI and Dolby.I hope it helps.

Real quick go in the headphones menu if you see tv + hp turned on turn it off. The surround sound will not work if it's turned on

Got a question, I got this TV and PS3 with a HDMI cable, but as I connected my PS3 with a HDMI cable version 1.3, the TV cannot find the signal...Do you know what could be the problem??

i had the same problem with a powered hdmi over cat6 extender with my playstation. worked great with tv but not with playstation.this product solved this problem. i use a fiber optic audio from playstation to my home theater and use this cable to run the video from p/s to flat screen tv. sound works as well but tv speakers suck. good luck!

You have to manually set what surround setting you want, it does not automatically detect it. I think that's what you were asking and I hope it helps.

Hey all - hate to break this to ya, but I just tried it out on my 3d setup, and this receiver doesn't seem to pass through at all - I've tried it with DirecTV 3d channels, and with my PS3, and if I connect directly to the TV HDMI, it works just fine, but going through the receiver, as soon as I try and view 3d content, there is no dice. Kind of annoyed here, since I bought this receiver about 1.5 years ago, and it looks like now I'll either have to go through the painful process of hooking up 3d devices directly to the TV, or buy a new 3d capable receiver - poop! :( Well - good luck - hope you folks have better luck than I did :(

Hi,Let's try this first if you haven't already :).On your Playstation, go to settings, scroll down to Display Settings, click Video Output Settings, select HDMI, and then select Automatic. It should ask for the size of your TV and also multiple 3D resolution choices. After that, glasses should sync. I hope this will help, if not, I'll look into another solution :).Happy Holidays!

I had this problem. The solution: Make sure you have an HDMI or Optical cable connected directly to the soundbar from source (My AT&T Uverse box). Make sure to set the audio settings in your source to output "surround". Most cable boxes come pre-programmed to output "stereo". You will hear the difference immediately...and it kicks A**!

Hi missy, your DIRECTV Receiver SHOULD have an HDMI output. If indeed it's an HD Receiver. Just connect it straight to one of your HDMI Inputs on your display. What model do you have? H20, HR21?For your onkyo, you should connect your DIRECTV straight to your surround system, using an optical or digital coaxial cable.PS3? I don' t know much about game consoles. I'll ask my brother who knows more about this than I do, and get back to you.

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.

Yes, but only in stereo, the surround module is not PS4 compatible, or at least it isn't on the PS3.

there is a LPCM "bug" with this Amp. To get it to display DTS, do thisAmp Menu=> HDMI=> Pass thru=> OFFAmp Menu-> HDMI=> Control=> OFFAmp Menu=>HDMI=> Audio Out=> AMPThat should fix all your DTS problems as well as problems with PS4 sound

same here low volume, but it works, have you turn your volume up in settings on your playstation? just a thought

Make sure that your PS3 settings - sound settings- set up to play automatic. And that the only way you'll get DTS or Dolby digital is if it is recorded that way (super bit etc.). Hope this helps!

I believe it to be true and originally ran HDMI to the TV (DirecTV HD-DVR and PS3) and then optical audio out to my receiver. The sound just didn't "pop" out and then I read the TV manual on a whim and couldn't believe that the output only is in 2-channel. I later read somewhere that it is intentional for copyright reasons. Unfortunately, my Surround Sound Receiver also has an annoying limitation whereby it switches HDMI but does not extract the audio from the HDMI connection. So, the workaround for me was to connect the HDMI (for video only) to the TV, keep the TV volume at zero, and connect the digital audio sources from the components to the receiver (which only has two optical audio inputs.) The sound and audio were offset but most good receivers will let you adjust to get them back in-sync.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

If I have my ps4 hooked into the receiver, can I do pass through audio having my AVR/Surround sound turned off if I chose? With audio still coming into my tv speakers?Thanks

At least you can get your TV to recognize the signal, my tv won't pick up on the hdmi connection. But if i connect it directly to my TV, our when I had my 1080i TV, to change the setting all you would have to do is change it on your playstation, as long as you have 1080P and you change it to automatic, you should be able to get it to work fine in 1080P...sorry this is one year late?
