STR-DG910 and HDMI v1.3a inputs: Does this reciever have HDMI v1.3a inputs?

I believe the only difference is the ability to transmit 36-bit color(otherwise known as deep color) and at 1440p

This one only supports 1.1 -- you need to consider the TX-SR605 model which supports 1.3

What is the difference between an HDMI 1.3a cable and an HDMI 1.3b cable? I've seen both here on Amazon.

I believe that the v1.4 is designed for 3D Blue Ray devices and this particular model does not support 3D. If your other HDMI cable still works with it then more than likely that would be why. Hopefully this helps.

S. Dvorkin - Check out this link - I don't know much about PS3's but I read in this link that if you switch one of your settings in the PS3 to "Bitstream" you will send digital to the STR-DG920 - once the 920 receives the digital signal it will upscale it in the process. I have a Sony BDP550 connected to my 920 and it does amazing things with 480P DVD's - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archive/index.php/t-1013635.html

My setup is: Raspberry &lt;HDMI&gt; ViewHD ViewHD &lt;HDMI&gt; TV ViewHD &lt;TOSLink/optical&gt; Onkyo TX-SR500 The ViewHD is provided with a switch that you can switch between pass-through/2CH/5.1, in my case 5.1 So when I have AC3 content played on the raspberry it is detected as Dolby D on the Onkyo. No chance to test DTS yet.

Quick answer is I do not know. the manual does not tell us about which HDMI spec is supported by the unit. However 1.3 that supports 3D was introduced in 2006, and these receivers were designed in 2008, so they should (most likely) support 3D. But 3d is going bye bye anyway, so it might be a moot point. Good luck, the unit I have has been reliable and a good sounding unit.

I also have been considering this TV and wondering about the HDMI 1.0 issue. Since so far no knowledgable techie has chirped in I did a little of my own research, and here is what I found out. This all comes from an industry web site hdmi.org ------------------------ The initial HDMI 1.0 specification was released in December 2002. Version 1.1 was released in May 2004. Version 1.2 was released in August of 2005. Version 1.2a was released in December of 2005. Version 1.3 was released in June of 2006. Q. What functionality was added to each specification? The following provides an overview of major functionality added to each version of HDMI HDMI 1.1 Support for DVD Audio ------------------------------- So my guess is that like the poster said it will not take the audio from his dvd player in the hdmi input, but I assume he could bring the audio in through other inputs assuming his dvd player has other outputs. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can elaborte on this, meanwhile I think I'll move on and look for a set that has at least a HDMI 1.1 interface since using a DVD player is one thing I want to do with it.

This one has 1.3 for sure. I think all 2007 models have 1.3. Having HDMI 1.3 is not as big as an issue as you may think it is. But if it concerns you, rest assured this HDTV has it.

I asked Sony's 800 # this same question & they said that games must be played. When the unit is turned on, it checks to see which inputs are turned on. So if you have two SAT receivers, the one you want to watch has to be ON & the other one OFF before you turn the STR-DG910 on. Sounded hokey, but I've only got 4 devices, so I haven't checked to see if they were dishing out the straight skinney yet. For video, the unit has three HDMI inputs (SAT, DVD, & Video 2/BD), 1 HDMI output, 3 componet video inputs (SAT, DVD, & Video 1), 1 componet video output, four composit video inputs, & three composit video outputs. No S-Video. For sound it has the three HDMI inputs, the one HDMI output, 3 reassignable optical inputs, 2 assignable coaxial inputs, 6 pairs of rca inputs, 3 pairs of rca outputs, and 4 identical rca sub-woofer outputs. Yes, the high quality HDMI & Componet inputs duplicate SAT & DVD, so if one has more than 4 high quality devices, games must be played. When the unit is turned on, it checks to see which inputs are turned on. So if you have two SAT receivers, the one you want to watch has to be ON & the other one OFF before you turn the STR-DG910 on. If you are using this unit to drive a dvi device with an HDMI-DVI adapter (a TV, monitor, or projector w/o a HDMI input), the digital rights enforcement police will prevent you from using the HDMI sound channel. Video will come thru ok, but no HDMI sound. This isn't as bad as it sounds because the unit will allow you to route the sound thru the optical inputs, coaxial inputs, or rca (yuck!) inputs. If your HDMI source has optical or coaxial outputs, you still have full home theater sound. Lastly, while it will upconvert composit & componet to HDMI, it won't down-convert HDMI to composit or componet.

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.

Go to MonoCable.com and read the detail on 1.4v. They explain the difference between them well. You'll also find great cable at a very good price. I have this receiver hooked up to a Samsung 7000 60" TV and a bluray player that are both 3D. With the 1.4a it works like a champ!http://www.monoprice.com/

Most, not all, cables that meet the 1.4 standard can/do also meet the newer 2.0 standard. How? See this FANTASTIC article about the newer 2.0 and see if you even need the new wires. I.e. Basically the 1.4 didn't take need all the extra wires built into the cables but the new 2.0 does make use of all of them etc. http://www.mycablemart.com/help/hdmi_which_one.php Hope that helps!

Hello Timmy; the new NR 636 will pass thru the singularly selected input you chose from the 7. HARDWARE SETUP&gt; HDMI&gt; HDMI THRU. It will only pass thru the selected input you indicate in this submenu.

Hi, I am assuming the PS3 plays BD right? I say connect to that HDMI port unless you have the additional BD player. HDMI is audio and video signal combined so it should work wherever you plug it in. Good luck! I love my 920 so far.
