I have a brighthouse cable box plugged directly into my Onkyo receiver. The HDMI output from recever to HDMI 1 port on TV. How do I get the apps to play sound through my receiver?

To get the apps to play out the receiver you need to run an audio signal from the tv to the receiver. The cable plays through the reciever because thats where the audio signal is generated. Since the tv apps sound is generated through the television it self you need too run an audio ouput from the tv to the reciever. I have mine hooked up this way. As far as the 3d goes I have no clue I only use the 3d with my ps3 and Iit automatically picks it up.

There aren't many Tvs out three capable of turning 2D content to 3d. I didn't get a chance to put it in the original review but try this out for 3Dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtpjKednC7g&feature;=youtube_gdata_player. As for the sound, hdmi into port 1 only bring audio and video into the tv, you still need to run audio cables out to the receiver (red and white audio out located on the side of the tv. You've got to then go into the sound settings and turn off the internal speaker and switch the analog out setting to fixed. You're cable provider may offer free Ed content but short of a 3d bluray player, YouTube is the best place to find video. There aren't many Tvs out three capable of turning 2D content to 3d.

The instruction manual, which I viewed as a pdf on the Onkyo website is a little ambiguous when it comes to a pass-through signal, I know this unit is a repeater so direct pass-through is unlikely; there is an option to have the amp pass the sound to the TV and simply turn down the A/V amp volume; but the unit has to be on; I didn't see any mention of it working with the unit turned off. I can't tell you any more at this point as I haven't received the unit yet; should arrive tomorrow!

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 .

Hello, I have this soundbar and have docked an ipod and iphone to it. The basic song selection screen does display through the soundbar's HDMI input. However, when I try to display the actual screen of the ipod/iphone, I can't get the video to come through the TV even when I choose the right input on the TV. I have verified that the video cable is hooked up properly from dock to TV. Any advice out there?

I have my computer connected to my TV, via a HDMI cable; with my TV set as the default playback sound device. This allows me use the sound from my TV for Pandora, YouTube and Windows Media Player (to listen to music). For movies I have the audio output settings on the Daum potplayer and VLC player set to S/PDIF. This allows me to bypass the TV default setting and use the Syba sound adapter connected to my ONKYO receiver via an optical SPDIF to listen to movies in DTS and AC3 sound.

the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver. The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide shows that. The optical cables are really cheap anyhow on Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem.

Hard to say from not seeing your connections but your problem seems to be an override of HDMI setup on your computer. If your cabling is correct, and you want to see you PC on your TV through your Onkyo, then you have to switch source everytime you want to use PC or TV. Probably change on your remote for you TV source or the Onkyo. Play with your sources on PC, TV, Onyko, or software. All assumes you have things correctly connected and configured on TV, PC, and Onyko. Good luck.

I have a sub par sound system so I'm not interested in 7.1 or anything like that. The way I have my 360 and AppleTV hooked up is everything goes to the TV thru HDMI and then I have a Optical out from the TV to receiver so whatever input is selected on the TV is automatically fed to the receiver. Will that work with the BD35? My receiver doesn't have multiple optical inputs. So will the audio go out thru the HDMI?

It is possible to connect the cable box to the receiver HDMI port, connect the receiver to the TV and listen to the sound through the TV speakers. It WILL pass through the audio provided there is power to the receiver. The receiver does not have to be on as it would then play through the surround speakers rather than the TV speaker. Within the menus there is a pass-through option. Receiver, Setup, HDMI Setup, HDMI Through (I select CBL/SAT here which corresponds with the HDMI input port for the cable box).

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

I have 3 components connected to my receiver - An Amazon TV, a Blu-Ray disk player and the Directv receiver - all using HDMI cables. You do need to have the receiver on, but how else would you get that beautiful sound! If your DirecTV receiver doesn't have an HDMI output, you can connect the DirecTV box to the composite video inputs on the front of the receiver and select the V-Aux input on the remote control. You may be able to connect it to one of the composite video inputs on the back, but I didn't try that. I hope that helps. TopCatOnyx

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.

All I did was, run the whole 'operation' by utilizing a BlueRigger High Speed HDMI 6.6 ft cable with ethernet which supported the 3D and audio return. I just connected them to the appropriate slots/openings both on the Vizio 3D 65' HDTV and the Sony surround sound product. Other than that, simply nothing! And it is functioning like a dream with robust, quality sound. Hope this helps. OFK.

hi Jeffrey -short answer: I want my receiver to receive input from my cable (for cable tv) and transmit it to the TV via hdmi cable; that rear-end view of the model showed that there was a "cable receptacle", but that turned out to be only for FM radio. long answer: I'm running all my connections through the wall, and wanted this to be covered as well. The only "long" connection would be the lengthy HDMI cable connection between Onkyo receiver and my Sharp HDTV. Everything else (connections from cable company, nintendo wii, Blu Ray player, Alpha Gamma player, PS1/2/3/4/5/6, etc should all be going through the receiver -- all of which will sit in one corner of the room).

My blu-ray won't play through my rx565 via hdmi. The connections are good. I put the blu-ray directly to the tv and it was fine. My cable tv signal goes through it fine. I tried different ports to no avail. Is there a programming issue with the yamaha?

I tried connecting my Chromecast (hdmi output) to the cable using a female/female hdmi adapter. The picture came through great. I could not get the sound portion of the hdmi signal to play through my TV. In the past I have connected my Kindle Fire HD to the cable and most of the time the picture and sound played through the TV. When the sound didn't, I plugged the 3.5 plug into the Kindle 's earphone jack. The combination of the TV with DIV input and the cable with a hdmi connector worked. You might have to try external speakers (e.g. computer external speakers.)

Audiophile "Rich" - I don't have a cable/satellite box. I only have the cable coming in to my house, going in to the basement first - in to the splitter - and from the splitter, the various rooms get cable tv. In this setup, are there any suggestions?Also, is the cable box something I can get outside (and not via the cable company)? If that cable box has an audio optical cable input and also the RCA jack out AND input, I'll give it a shot.PS: Doesn't the audio optical cable only take care of the audio input?
