I've noticed my Onkyo reciever won't pass through HDMI signals unless they are in a home theater resolution. Computer resolutions weird it out.

Because Onkyo didn't expect it to be a format. It's a pretty rare format, after all.

I have had my Onyko TX-SR805 since 2008 and it is one of my most beloved possessions. Over the years it's developed a few quirks, like changing to Pure Audio mode when the physical power button is hit instead of turning off (thankfully if commanded by remote it shuts down perfectly). None of...

My ideal system would have the Onkyo NR1030 at it's heart to power 5 floorstanding speakers. I'd keep the four identical front and back floor-standings I have now and replace my horizontal center channel with an identical fifth channel. I'd have four in-ceiling speakers installed to complete the...

There's no way to make it just pass through the signal without worrying about what's in the signal itself? Is there no override to make it pass the signal through even though it thinks there's an error?

I have an HDMI out on my computer. This leads to my receiver, an Onkyo TSR805, and from my receiver to a projector. If I connect the computer to the projector directly there are no video issues at all (there's obvious no audio). When I have my receiver in the middle, necessary to get sound but...

I'm looking to hook my computer up to my receiver. HDMI seems the obvious solution. When I really want to watch or listen to content on my computer moving it to the other room and hooking up via HDMI seems to work fine. (except for games, but that's a seperate topic I plan to post soon.)...

Some recievers like my Onkyo TX-SR805 allow the user to choose which speakers a mono track is output from, so I can choose between "2.0 mono" and center mono.

PLII (Well, PLIIx) has three settings on my reciever, PLII Game, Movie, and Music. I know Music routes more to the Front L&R speakers as compared to Center and has a few adjustable settings. What exactly is the difference between PLII Game and PLII Movie?

I have an 805. Its fantastic, thus far I have been impressed in nearly every catagory. Its an 875 with less video processing and 10 fewer watts in the amplifier. Even with Dolby Digital or 44.1 PCM it sounds jaw-droppingly incredible, probably thanks to the 196Khz Burr-Browns and WRAT. I don't...

Don't believe Monster's lies. Normal cabling works just fine.

It'll change your life when you start getting good surround.

That's completely in my price range. Awesome! Thank you.

I bought an Onyko TX-SR805 with the capability to do BluRay audio codec decoding, DSD decoding, and multichannel PCM output. The DAC in this thing is better than almost all of the DVD-A players I have seen. I own 6 titles on DVD-A but have been playing their DVD-V section. Now that I am...

That's incorrect. Onkyo is a generic term in Japanese meaning "Audio" or "Sound". Onyko is the trade name in the US for the Japanese company "Osaka Onkyo" or Osaka Audio. Denon in an abreviation for "Denki Onkyo" or Denki Audio. It would be like if you argued NBC and ABC are the same company...

It depends on how much you are willing to spend. I've been very pleased with the performance of some of the Onkyo HTIBs I've set up for clients and friends. They are genuine receivers unlike other HTIBs so you can attach whatever you've got to them like consoles, computers, tape players, etc...

I have an Onkyo 805 coming in the mail. I'll tell you exactly how it sounds Thursday.

I didn't mention the four bookshelf speakers and reciever becuase I found good deals on them. I wouldn't use those computer speakers for all the tea in Britain. Horrid things. Crappy even as computer audio goes. For a receiver I'm thinking an Onkyo TX-SR304 for $160. It has 6x RCA analog...

I have a freind who's looking to buy a very cheap 5.1 system. He already owns a very nice sub that he has been using with a pair of very crappy computer speakers, crossovering the bass. While I think this is a very silly thing to do, he really likes powerful bass. At any rate, he is looking to...
