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 !

Yes i tried both ways....i first burned it as a data disc and i also tried creating AVCHD DVD....in both cases i saw that PS3 audio is choppy in 1080p mode.....1080i doesnt seem to have any issues. The video camera itself plays the 1080p with no issues when connected directly to my HDTV....is this an issue with my PS3 ? has anyone tried this ?

The picture quailty will be the same unless a cable in between the tv to reciever or reciever to ps3 is bad..other wise it doesnt alter the video just passes it threw. The audio on the ps3 should be set to LPCM and not Bitstream. Blu-rays have TrueHD and DTS-HD-MA audio which the 720 cant decode. But the ps3 can, and send it to the reciever threw LPCM over HDMI. LPCM the player(ps3) does all the decodeing, Bitstream the reciever does the decodeing. Hope that helps

If you have a PS4, then as of this writing it's NOT true; Onkyo Tech support has validated that this is not working. It's REALLLLY annoying... I have to plug the PS4 directly into my 3D TV to actually watch 3D BluRays.

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

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. :(

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.

Yup I HAD that problem as well when I was using RCA inputs but when I changed to Digital Optical, I found that the volume was way too loud and had to turn it down a lot just to fit viewing need.Well, the way I have my setup with the same HTIB(Home Theater in Box) is: PS3>Reciever via Digital Optical for Audio PS3>TV via Component(Plan to upgrade to HDMI once the cable comes) TV>Reciever via RCA(Red and White plugs)For yours specifically Castellanos, I think we need a bit more info on the TV and the Toshiba, like what kind of Inputs and Outputs are on the back of both products or if not that way, give a link to see information on those items.Hopefully we can get this straighten out as with others in the same boat.

Hi Led-Head: As Anupam describe instructions below you also have to set your PS3 settings (Audio Settings) to the proper channels (either optical or component). I have both 360 and PS3 both hook up optical audio and PS3 was a little bit clear on the sound department. Video dept were the same (blue-ray and hd-dvd). Hope that helps!

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.

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 :(

I second this question. I dont plan on getting a PS3 (i own a 360 :-), but I too have heard problems with it not working with HDMI on other things like Direct Tv's box and stuff. Any help would be great!

I did have some issues linking a console (PS3) and the Denon... audio lag audio and other stuff... i managed to left everything right connecting Audio via optic cable and video through HDMI. Hope This helps!

Have you tried a different hdmi cable or a different device plugged into the same port. First thing change HDMI cable if problem persists try different device , if problem persists with second device unit is defective. If problem does not persist problem is coming from sony ps3.

Just saw a youtube video of a guy baking the HDMI board. The commentators claim it works. Not for the faint of heart, though. I have the same issue. Will try with Onkyo first to see if they agree to repair it. If not, I'll bake the board. What's the worse that could happen?

I have not experienced this ..you should check your HDMI Connections on both ends.. try another cable....or if you are using Optical or Coax for sound....make sure your settings are correct on the PLAYER AND the Receiver.....usually it is something really simple that you are overlooking......worse case scenario you might have a bad board and you would have to call Onkyo...but maybe it's your DVD player....
