Thanks Skippy. The A/V sync is under another menu and it worked for DVD input. Then I found the HDMI lip sync and that worked well for the TV. Interesting that I emailed Onkyo and never got a response.Thanks again. Ken

I have HT-RC360 and I adjusted A/V Sync at 150ms. At this setting, it seems perfectly synced.

I'm assuming the picture lags behind the audio, which is fairly common with HDMI. Use the A/V sync feature on the receiver (it's under Audio Adjust); 40ms is usually a good starting point.

To clarify, the receiver can output video to 2 TVs at the same time, but not audio. I have this setup now. I have the ONKYO receiver sending video to my main TV as well as to my bar TV. Sound goes through the receiver speakers, not the TV.

Hey Craig-Which optical input connection on the Onkyo receiver did you use to connect the optical cable from your TV? I'm not having success. :-(

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.

Tom,Yep, did the test tone both from the Onkyo and BD player. All 6 speakers responded. I did set the BD player for PCM for all formats for 5.1ch. It's my understanding when using the Onkyo DVD Multichannel during playback, the Onkyo ignores its own speaker settings and uses whatever is coming from the BD player. Perhaps I need to tinker with the speaker settings in the BD player. Thanks,Dennis

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

check first the video resolution your PC output or maybe your PC HDMI output are not HDCP compliant, because if not no picture or sounds can get through to your ONKYO TX-NR818

Yes, that is a known bug with this version. You would need to send it to Onkyo to get it fixed. If you are within the return time frame for the system, you may want to return it and purchase the newer version (HT-S3500). It doesn't have this problem and is also better than the HT-S3400 version. That is what I did when I noticed this problem a week after purchasing HT-S3400.

You will need to disable "Control with HDMI". I and others have had similar issues with various equipment combinations, but a Pioneer A/V receiver seems to be the common thread and this seems to be a work around. I suspect it is an HDMI control compatibility issue with the Pioneer line; maybe a firmware update will correct it at some point.

Help to choose between Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver and Pioneer VSX-1020-K. They both have their pros and cons, and prices are the same.

I have the same problem! Did you get it worked out. If so HOW??? I wonder if my AV receiver is too old.

Thanks for the info, but.... The TV speakers work fine with the sound bar when watching any TV reg or HD programs. It is just some HD dvd's or Blu-Ray dvd's that this problem occurs. There is an echo or feedback which sometimes you can turn the TV off and back on again and it disapears or makes it better. Some DVDs still have echo or delay from one speaker to the other. It is a sync problem between the TV speakers and Sound Bar which are both Sony brands. When everything working, tv speakers, sound bar and (2) wireless rear speaker it is awesome in my 16 by 11 room. I just thought there was an option somewhere to sync speakers together if needed. Thanks.Alan Thanks for the info, but....

Erratic behavior of this receiver is well known. Unfortunately, the unit may have one of the the known issues with the units produced in the "problem" production run. There is a factory recall program of this receiver from Onkyo. Check the following URL for your unit being covered: http://www.onkyousa.com/Support/service_info.php# My unit had several of these issues including intermittent powering off, no sound, frozen/locked, firmware update failure, the list goes on. Bottom line, check the website with your unit serial number and if covered, Onkyo will send you a postage paid box with packing instructions for your unit. If not covered, some troubleshooting suggestions are in the rear of the user manual (if you haven't tried swapping the TV back) . Most likely the unit will require some sort of repair.

Hi Dennis,Try pressing the test tone button on the remote, and see if your getting sound from all speakers. Also, did you use the RCA cables from the BD player to the Onkyo? ( one for each speaker ) Don't forget to choose the right format from the Blu-ray disk ( Dolby truehd / DTS HD master audio ) If your still having a problem, let me know..I can probably walk you through a little more detail.Tom

I am having the same problem with audio out of synch with the video. Would appreciate knowing if anyone has an answer.

Hey Dennis,Did you tinker with the speaker setting on the BD player? Does it still only sound like 2.0 stereo?let me know, Im going over to my nephews house tomorrow, he has the same Onkyo SR550, and I will check his settings for you.Tom

yes it is...BUT - you may want to do a reliability check on the Onkyo. There's a rumor afloat about HDMI issues - and i think i've had one already.
