hdmi=no picture just sound HELP! Can anybody tell where i'm going wrong with my connections? to my new Onkyo 605. My cable box(no hmdi) is wired to my receiver then out of receiver via s-video to my older tv. Cable pic and sound work ok. My LG dvd/vcr was working with my old setup but now when I connect it via hdmi to my receiver I just hear sound from my tv. The only cure is to add a'n s-video cable from the lg to the receiver which seems strange to me. I have enabed hdmi IN on the Onkyo still no picture? hdmi OUT of receiver is off. The only thing that I think may be the problim is that my tv needs the s-video in order to "understand" the signal. hdmi=no picture just sound HELP!

This receiver will up-convert from S-Video to HDMI, but you are askinig it to down-convert from HDMI to S-Video, something it is not capable of doing. Try hooking your dvd player to your receiver via S-Video and it should work fine.

I've got sound and picture simultaneously. Might be an issue with the unit you received. Good luck

If you are using an HDMI cable from the TV output to the receiver you should have audio through the receiver. I assume that you have multiple inputs that are selected by the receiver and you have selected the input that is connected to the TV. I found that there are different audio configurations in the receiver that need to be selected also. The manual offers a lot of information but for me it's too difficult to understand. Try a different HDMI cable and/or input port to begin with.

Most likely your HDMI board has went bad, which is a known issue with these models. I have the same model and had similar issues to yours. The good news is Onkyo is paying to have these fixed at no charge to the customer, as long as it is within 2 years of purchase I believe. You just need to email jose.torres@us.onko.com and he will set you up with the nearest Onkyo authorized repair center and get you taken care of. This problem is not just an Onkyo one, Denon, Panasonic, and others have it too, but Onkyo is the only one fixing them for free according to my repair facility guy. That says a lot about Onkyo in my opinion, and they have retained me as a customer because of it. Best of luck to you.

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

I have a very similar problem with my PS3 connecting to my Sony 46" LCD (Z Series). I have been testing the conditions and doing a complete system reset on the PS3 always takes care of the issue, but takes some time to redo all settings. I have been looking for answers on the various forums without luck. Also, turning on and off both the TV and PS3 takes care of the issue without doing the reset. I have found out that having everything working fine if I turn off the TV only and back on, the sound is gone. I believe is a decoding issue the TV has, for some reason if the TV starts after the PS3 it does not recognize the HDMI audio source. I know this does not cover your ONKYO issue but gives you a start. (I have downloaded the latest 3.10 update for PS3 and have not seen any problems just yet (for 3 days) but I am not very confident since I have been updating both the TV and PS3 constantly. I am considering upgrading my old 5.1 Kenwood A/V Receiver just to take care of this issue.

No, I do not have an exact idea of what could be wrong since I have not experienced it. However, Are you using RCA cabling or HDMI? I recommend HDMI. The problen could be bad RCA cabling.

I have this receiver and wanted to let you know that on this model the HDMI ports are ONLY FOR Video. You need to use an optical cable to get at least 5.1 sound. The advantage of HDMI is that the audio and video signals are on the same cable. I don't know why it doesn't work like that on this one? It is not the top of the line so the newer ones probably have it. I think the norm now is 7.1 or 7.2 channels. It is a good receiver though. I don't even have a subwoofer hooked up to it and it still sounds good. I hope that helps you out. You can plug an optical cable from the tv to the receiver but it might be only 2 channel surround sound. I use that setup for my roku 3 I hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

Look for audio Left and Right channel outputs (red and white) on the back of the TV, if it has them. Some TVs only have inputs like this (not outputs - out will be clearly labelled if you have them), which won't help. If your TV has these outputs, you can connect them to any input on the back of your Sony receiver. However, even then it may not provide sound for sources connected to the TV (Sat, Cable, Disc) which are connected to your TV using HDMI cables. You could try using a headphone output on the TV plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack on the back of the Sony, which would work with all sources connected to the TV. To try this just order a stereo connection cable with male 3.5mm plugs on each end. You'd have to turn the volume up some on both the TV and Sony receiver until you find the volume setting that gives you enough range to then control with the Sony remote. Another way would be to use RCA out jacks from the Source device itself, whether that is a cable/sat box or disc player. Then you have to switch audio separately from video on the TV, which can be confusing for some. The underlying issue here is that stereo receivers lack HDMI connections, which combine sound and picture with one cable.

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but my issue is with component input from satellite receiver and especially when there are changes in screen format at commercial break, and/or heavy action scenes like bright flashes/explosions, etc. I DO not find that there are any issues with hdmi input from my blu-ray player or DVD/VCR.Appears to me that there is an issue processing the action quickly enough. I contacted Onkyo online a month ago and never received a reply.

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

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.

Read the manual. You must select source. Call Onkyo if need be.mine works fine

this is because something is going with cabling, high volume, speaker in process of going dead. I have one, and I have to tell you this is the worst receiver i have! My problem only happends viewing BD/DVD, mostly with Dolby Tru HD decoding and looking a very high frequencyt scenes liek the ones on Resident evil -extintion. I revise, reset, disconnect and do everything that the web site told me to. Also, I start testing each speaker, and disconnecting one speaker at a time and repeating the scene that is causing the protector to activate. I thaught I found the problematic speaker, but wrong, it happend again, same movie same scene...it is very frustratingMy advice, return the unnit, get a Yamaha.... this is because something is going with cabling, high volume, speaker in process of going dead.

This converter box only allows RCA jacks on the input to go to HDMI output.You probably want some sort of VGA to HDMI converter.Search Amazon for this one QVS HVGA-AS VGA Video/Stereo Audio to HDMI Digital ConverterIt does sound and video.Just video converters are less expensive.Good luck!

Mine failed today. I found out Onkyo has issued a recall for loss of audio. They are giving me the option to have it repaired or a $125 rebate towards a new receiver. Going to get it repaired and be done with Onkyo if it fails again. This was my 2nd Onkyo receiver and both of them had issues with the HDMI board.
