I had the same issue. One possibility (as in what I found) was that your PS3 is set to audio through a HDMI cable. You have to go into the manual settings in the PS3 and change it to the optical cable setting for audio. The PS3 will lead you through the setting changes.. Hope that helps.

This receiver is HDMI passthrough only i.e. it does not decode audio from the HDMI. You need to either (a) connect an audio out from DirecTV box to the receiver or (b) connect an audio out from TV to the receiver. (a) is preferable so it preserves the sound for decoding by your receiver vs (b) which the TV would downmix to stereo and output to receiver.

You should be able to run an hdmi cable from the reciever to the tv and make sure the sound settings on the tv are set to output to the hdmi and make sure your box is turned on and set to the hdmi input

I dont seem to be having that problem. Make sure you are using an optical cable or HDMI w/A.R., not RCA plugs. Or, if your TV has the ability, shut off the internal speakers.

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

Sorry but mine was DOA. It was returned and a replacement of same model requested. It too was DOA. I never got to try it but bought the Onkyo instead. It feeds video directly from DirecTV to HDMI TV (Sharp Acquos) and audio to the Onkyo unit and to my very fine Onkyo receiver. A few problems understanding the proper speaker hookup were quickly solved by a phone call to Onkyo tech service, a rare phenomenon indeed these days!

Then you got a major problem. ..make sure the r card cable is plug in to the pre out sub on the receiver..make sure the rca cable is plug in snug on the sub..then use the audessy is set up properly. ..finally go to the on screen menu and make sure the sub is set to on...let me know how it goes. ..

No, Do check everything others have mentioned. Also make sure your receiver is correctly configured. Run a sound test to help pinpoint your issue.

Is it hooked into a receiver or directly to the TV? If it is the receiver try bypassing it and hooking it directly to the television. If not, try a different television. I have found this happens if the tuner in the receiver or television is of poor quality.

Call Onkyo customer service. I had the same issue and they took care of the problem. My receiver was repaired and shipped back to me in about a week. I was very impressed. Hope you have the same experience.

Hey W. Chou is your X-box hooked up with hdmi? cause if it isn't then the problem is the Onkyo 5300 series does not up-convert so it has to come out of the receiver the same way it goes in. If your hooking up component video from the x-box then you have to run component video to the projector i almost made that mistake but i got the onkyo 7300 series that does up-convert it even sends standard composote video through HDMI .

I would read the directions that were set up with it. If you have experienced a recent power outage, sometimes the sync function between the Receiver and the unit has to be reestablished. Meaning that you may have lost setup settings. Also make sure no one has flipped settings on the front or back as that will cause a problem with the unit turning on. (word to the wise, when you fix it write down the configuration in the manual) additionally the cable that is plugged in the back of the sub....make sure it wasnt pulled out of the back of your receiver by mistake. If you have this hooked up as a "speaker" and not a sub, also make sure the connections are established. Is this hooked up to a Yamaha receiver? If so you may want to cycle through the on screen setup directions and use the auto setup mic that came with the unit. Every time I have issues, I use that tool and it always seems to fix the connection issues. I know with mine, if the PCM source is not working (digital) the unit wont sence the signal and turn on. If you have multiple source inputs (DVD CD and GAme Player) you may want to make sure that they are putting out the required digital signal or it wont jump start the sub. ....I know, when did setting up Stereo equipment become a full day tech project? I am missing the analog days myself

Have you tried to call their technical support? They were really helpful when I called them. Also, you can always return it. I returned my first one since I had some issues with the sound and got a replacement and it is perfect. Check the HDMI Cable too. You may need to try another one in case it is bad.

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

Hi Loretta, sorry to hear this. have tried other inputs like DVD/BD player, computer, game console, cable box? have you checked your physical cables for loose connection? have you tried changing physical cables from your devices going to your TV? -Vincent

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,
