help needed for Onkyo TXSR-800

I've got a problem with my receiver and am hoping someone might have the answer.

I've got it connected to my cable box so that it automatically changes to whatever audio type is being played on the TV.

For example, when watching regular stations (not PPV) the receiver plays in the normal mode.

However,when I switch to a PPV channels (HBO, SHO ,and other channels), the receiver used to automatically switch to Dolby digital mode or to THX for movies that were recorded in that mode.

Unfortunately,something happened to where it doesn't switch anymore between "regular" channels and the PPV channels.

Now I have to phisically switch it using the remote instead of it automatically switching like it's supposed to(and used to) !!

(I've tried a new cable box so that isn't the problem.)

Any advice or suggestions on what I might do to fix this problem would be greatly apreciated.

Thank you,
Brentskie

Did you try setting it to "auto" detect? If you choose a mode manually, many receivers ususally default to whatever the last used mode were. By setting it to auto, it should do what it used to. If not, then the configuration of the cable box probably needs to be looked at.

I didn't know there was such a thing.

Where do I look for the "auto-detect" setting you mention?

Is it on the remote?Any certain button?

Your help and guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Brent
