AJ, the issue is due to hdmi cable handshake. Try one of the latest hdmi cable from monoprice. It should fix this problem. It did for me.

I connected this card in my HTPC directly to my HDMI receiver for playing Netflix and some light gaming. This card sounds as good as it looks. Surround sound is good as well. make sure to install the new NVIDIA driver experience software to ensure the HD audio drivers load correctly. There are a lot of garbage cables out there so make sure you are using a cable that has HDMI 1.3, 1.4, or 1.4a with high speed ethernet markings on it to ensure the surround sound works correctly. Good luck

I've encountered a similar issue with my HT-S3300, where when the display changes from SD to HD the receiver makes a clicking noise and both the video and sound go out, but come back after a couple of seconds. Mine doesn't do it as often as yours, though.From what I've read, Onkyo has had issues with the HDCP "handshake" which is what causes the problems with the audio and video. That being said, I had never heard about it happening as often as you're describing it.

I connected a Blu Ray players HDMI output to the H6510BD's HDMI input.The video was projected on the screen, The H6510BD sent analogue audioto the 3.5mm audio output jack which I connected to some active PC speakers.I have connected my blu ray player's HDMI output to a 7.1 channel home theater receiverthe receiver sent the 7.1 audio to the audio speakers and the HDMI video to the H6510BD.I was never able to get anything beyond standard 2 channel analogue audio from the 3.5 mmaudio out jack.

Hey my Friend, Thanks for your imput. Just want to get a clear understanding about HDMI and Composite connection differences. My HDTV is 3 years old with composite only connection. Will HD DVD give me 1080i reception capabilty. I now have the Dish 622 reciever and get HD quality no problem. Simply put does the Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD player have composite connections along with HDMI. Hope I've made myself clear enough. Thanks Much ... RD

I believe that the display port does not output sound like a HDMI port does. You would need to get the sound to the onkyo another way.

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.

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.

HT-R960 - I haven't found any specific information on this receiver at the Onkyo site. The receivers that come with their HTIB units all start with HT I believe which is a different prefix than their stand alone receivers.

Is it possible to pass through component video such as a Wii to HDMI on this unit. I know the VSX-919AH-K can do it. I would put these 2 in the same class. I just need a pass through from Component to HDMI, do not need the up-conversion. I really like the Onkyos ability to regulate sound such as TV commercials to normal levels, I really really hate this when watching TV. I have 2 old Kenwood THX receivers that cant do anything about it and only support Component video.

I have a slightly different unit going from S-Video / RCA to HDMI. I don't really feel there is any real signal upgrading, I use it rather to be able to run all my sources though my receiver that only has HDMI. Can you not upgrade the video card to give you an HDMI out in your pc?

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.

I had the same issue, and the problem was the HD board failed. After doing some research , I called Onkyo and they paid for the out of warranty fix because it's a known issue.Don't know whether or not your problem & solution is the same, but hope this helps.

I have checked online and found out from reviews on CNET.com that this is a recurring problem with this receiver. Some owners have had to replace the hdmi board. Not good. If this is the case, I will no longer purchase any other Onkyo receivers. I was using my PS3 not just for playing games, but watching DVD's & watching Netflix. I have replaced the receiver with a different brand.

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.

Why do you connect audio separately? HDMI should be sufficient to give you both video and audio if you hook it up through a common receiver. At least it works in my case. Try that. Bob.

If you do even 30 seconds of research you'll see that people don't know what they're talking about. The Onkyo product page AND the page linked on this page BOTH say that the HT-RC460 supports 3D. http://us.onkyo.com/Products/model.php?m=HT-RC460&class=Receiver I don't know if there's any difference between these models. I opted for the HT-RC460 because they had nearly identical feature sets. Onkyo seems to have multiple product lines that overlap on certain models. The HT-RC series, the usually higher priced TX-NR series and they also have a premium brand called Integra. Some forums get into arguments about possible higher quality components being used in the higher cost products, but others contend that the internals appear identical and cross-branding of components between Onkyo and Integra happens inside.
