Thank you Type A the Tv is great! I am just having a minor issue with my Apple Tv

Purchased the Sony Tv and the Bravia Sync works fantastic! My Bell Satellite receiver controls everything no complaints this far. This was definitely a learning experience. A huge thanks to all!!

I was looking at this one http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/sony-sony-60-1080p-120hz-led-smart-tv-kdl60r520a-kdl60r520a/10245467.aspx?path=42cc2d25bd16c08570849082487d4448en02

I think its time to upgrade the Tv its 6 years old. Although this is becoming expensive it will be worth it in the end. I think I got a good deal on the receiver and I am happy with the way it sounds. Who doesnt like a new tv anyway.... lol. And I also like that I will be able to use the Bravia...

Actually my Tv's OM says it supports 5.1 surround sound through the optical! Not sure if you know what TV i own

What if I was to connect all my HDMI directly to my tv like I had before the home audio purchase, and connect the audio optical out on my tv to the optical in on my AVR?

Ya I may have to "handshake" this receiver right out the window!

Its off on my AVR and its called Anynet on the samsung and its also off

Nope not trying to use CEC. I have three remotes

What is a CEC?

I TOTALLY understand the meaning of the handshake its unfortunate its this difficult I wonder if the HTIB would have been this hard. I understand if its messed up at initial set up that means the world. But it shouldnt be this difficult to repeat with success

I dont understand what you are asking in the first post. I unplugged everything from the wall waited 30 min. I connected my HDMI cable from my Satellite receiver to the Sat HDMI on my AVR. I then connected my HDMI TV Out from my AVR to my Tv's HDMI 1. I turned on the AVR waited for it to snap...

Didn't work :(

Sorry for my stupidity, the plugs are behind my fire place so it required moving it to get to them. I have moved it and unplugged everything and unplugged all HDMI cables from the AVR. I think what else may be the problem is as soon as I plug in my power bars or switch them on the Bell Satellite...

Didn't work, I powered everything off and shut off both power bars and unplugged all HDMI cables. Reconnected all HDMI cables powered on receiver, then TV and Satellite. Ran through the set up steps calibrated the speakers and everything came on normally. Shut off Satellite receiver and powered...

What is HDCP? I just googled it and read about it, so how do I get around it or teach my Sony Receiver to accept my tv's encryption?

Ok I have my first problem! Everything works great I also did the calibration of the speakers now my problem is this. If I turn off my tv and turn it back on I get a screen on my Samsung Tv that says no signal regardless of the source I select I loose my picture on start up. I can hear the Bell...

Sounds great guys I have no complaints! I just have to learn the one million settings on the receiver

Ok cool thanks for the input guys. I made the purchase and I will see how the sub suits my needs. I got 30 days to return any of it. I ended up getting everything taxes in $990.

What do you guys think of this set up? https://www-ssl.bestbuy.ca/order/basket.aspx?path=473460dfb664fdfbd66f0195072ea9baen99

Good point Type A

I think I may have to go with the original Onkyo that I posted. The wife thinks I am crazy to spend over $1000. She has a point we don't really watch too many movies so maybe a mediocre system is best for me. I may try it and return it if I am not satisfied. It's worth a try I guess

What do u think of this system? http://www.2001audiovideo.com/en/catalog/product/109443-Paradigm-Cinema-100-CT

I actually found a supposedly "new" Energy Take ii 5.1 on kijiji for $300 brand new in the box. I sent a msg and will see if they reply. I was planning on a 5.1 setup but I could buy the CB10's for my up front speakers and sell the two that come with the set.

That set up sounds pretty good I would still need a sub and a receiver. This may be something I will have to slowly put together. Why is the center channel speakers so much money? The connoisseur is almost as much as the other 4 speakers?

Those look good especially the paradigm's. I just seen these on sale regularly $249 on sale for $99. Any good? http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/energy-energy-take-classic-bookshelf-speaker-take20-pair-take20/10240390.aspx?path=c8a64bf553d5d0d31c16672bace6271aen02

What you are saying makes sense and you being way more experienced then me I will take your advice. My problem is the higher quality speakers are also larger in size. The wife factor comes into play lol she doesn't want bulky speakers everywhere but I want quality sound. :)

I don't trust kijiji too much and I prefer new stuff although I could save a lot of money. I will still have a look at kijiji.I am not on a strict budget if I can come across a good deal on something that is of good quality. Being a newbie to all this I think the HTIB would probably be good to...

Would you happen to have a link in Canada where I could find it cheaper? It does seem pricey even with $300 off on sale.
