Please google it. I think you might find something on avsforum.com. If I remember, it has been addressed or will be shortly. Not sure if this applies to specific Onkyo models.

As of today's date, the HDMI issue has not been resolved by SONY. My recommendation is to look elsewhere for a receiver. I understand from research that ONKYO had a similar problem very early in 2013. However, the difference appears to be that ONKYO has resolved the problem. I returned my SONY 1040 and purchased ONKYO 626. A bit less power, however, I can watch TV without unplugging the receiver every few days just to get it to work.

Have you called Onkyo to see if they have any suggestions? Or maybe go to one of the AVS forums, they may just have an answer for you. somewhere like digital home forums . com or avsforums dot com. they are pretty brilliant there and most are either dealers or beta testers for a lot of the gear. good luck

My last reciever,10yr old sony str825 w 5.1 dolby ,I think,, had more power , but did not have the surround effect as the onkyo .We just love it for movies.. No issues yet with functions.

I had the same issue, and the problem was the HD board failed. After doing some research , I called Onkyo and they paid for the out of warranty fix because it's a known issue.Don't know whether or not your problem & solution is the same, but hope this helps.

I got Monster Cable Clear Jacket - for about $30 a pair sold through Crutchfield on the Amazon site. Are they the best - best can run into a $1000. So no, they are not the best, but spending more than I did would be overkill IMHO Are they better than what came with the set? Yes. And they were in my view at the right price point for the Onkyo&gt;

Hello Paul, I purchased the Onkyo TX - 8050 as a gift for another. I do not know the answer to this question but, this is the website for owner manuals for Onkyo products: http://www.onkyousa.com/Downloads/manuals.php?source=globalnav Go down the webpage until you reach this model and click to open the manual. The answer may be in there for you. The model is about half way down the page. Or, go to the Onkyo website: http://www.onkyousa.com/?m=TX-8050&class=Receiver&p=i and click on SUPPORT. They have a Support Forum, How to videos, and Frequently Asked Questions that are answered. Best of luck.

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

I am curious about this system. I have a very small room with only the ability to set up the the front (L+R), center, sub, and rear (L+R). The room does not allow for the set up of what Onkyo refers to as "surround L + R" which are supposed to be set up on the sides of the listening position. Will the receiver provide a decent decoding if I am using the speakers in a straight 5.1 type setup? I am guessing this is what the first post was asking but I just wanted to clarify that rear speakers will still be used and only the side "surround" speakers omitted.

thanks so much, for your response.Do you know the difference Onkyo 708 and av 891?? Been readingthe reviews and going crazy, this one, get too hot, and problems with certain ones.I had a Denon for 39 yrs, but there was not all this extra stuff to worry about.

Does this mean that the speakers on teh TV will still be able to play audio?And that the audio from the DVD needs to get to the Onkyo via optical?So you can use the TV for center speaker, and the rest of the speakers for the soundstage? Sounds good! And also allows the system to remain simple to use (for the wife) without the Onkyo, but can easily become a ciname system at the press of a power button? Wow!

Good question...I have mines up top too, it does not sound bad. What receiver or amplifier are you using or how many watts per channel?I have an Onkyo 80 watts per channel and it sounds pretty good but I am in the process of getting the Onkyo 828.Check your settings, db

Hello and thanx for your reply. Yes, Zone 2 is active. I just need to know what kind of connections for audio from DirecTV receiver to Onkyo receiver. What I have tried hasn't worked. I know it is analog sound only out of Zone 2. Going to contact Onkyo and see if I have any luck.

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.

Denon does not have plII dsp modes. It runs quite less hotter. It has assignable triggers rather than only a second zone trigger. In my case, I wanted a dc trigger for my main zone sub to turn it off and on remotely, otherwise it won't turn off for 15 minutes. Onkyo didn't have a main zone trigger. Onkyo runs EXTREMELY HOT, but is perfectly safe. Onkyo has easier networking setup (for noobies). Onkyo's customer service is quite easier to deal with when calling in. Denon's denonlink has some flaws many will encounter. Onkyo's power supply is bigger, allowing for more headroom and depth, but most people not very audiophile will notice at all. SO far, these are the only real comparisons that are worth thinking about, the rest are most likely things you won't use. If you're an audio guy and will be running most everything straight to your hd tv for video and let the receiver handle the audio via optical out of the tv, then I highly recommend onkyo for the big $$$ savings and still the same if not better audio performance, isnt that what you are buying it for?!?!? LOL. If you are foolishly looking for a non flagship receiver to have the best of both, you will not be able to beat a good tv video chip in deinterlacing or video performance with a non flagship reciever. Only flagship recivers costing plenty more include top of the line video processing, such as a yamaha z7 (running a couple grand of curse). That receiver had a perfect video test score with all benchmark tests and ridiculous audio performance close to denon's flagship combo (about $10,000 with the processor and amp).

So after further investigation. The Onkyo 5300 looks even more superior then the Samsung HW-C700 AV Receiver. The remote customizations alone are worth it. It has all the different modes. Paired with a right universal remote (I love my Harmony One) That thing can do some wonders. The Onkyo 5300 looks like a perfect match. Check out the zoomed close up's and see that it has different buttons for modes. Move game. This in essence allows you to setup "Activities" accordingly.Also whats with the weird Sub-In plug on the Samsung is it two?
