I have tried wireless HDMI but they weren't powerful enough as of this past winter. Trying to avoid the several hundred $$ it would cost to punch holes in the wall to run the cable then repair the holes and paint. The WAF on that plan is zero.

Hi rad-50", try different HDMI cable, try the other receiver HDMI inputs or try swapping with cable box input.

Thanks JChin, Already tried cable swapping. But didnt try swapping ports so I did that, no change. That drove me to go one step further and plug bluray right into tv.
Ran the setup and found out the only way i could get the bluray to show video when going thru onkyo is to set it for 480p.
Which totally baffled me. So after seeing how the video looked by playing a dvd I decided to give it one more try and see if it would connect at higher resoulution and all of a sudden it would connect all the way to 1080i ( which is my sony xbrs top res) So I have no clue why it just started working but I did turn both of them of then on and it still works, go figure.

Hmm, you try earlier and it didn't work . Does the "Front Spearkers" terminals feel loose to you?

Or maybe the receiver got scared and started to work because its going in for surgery (repair) .

that would be a negative.... which is why i think the speakers are pooched

So i just got this receiver and a 55" LG lw5600 a couple days ago.

I have a ps3, xbox 360, and wii hooked up to a Onkyo tx-sr608 receiver which in turn is hooked up to the TV with a single HDMI cable. I have no cable hooked up to the TV, its just a gaming and movie tv for now.

I have two questions that hopefully one of you experts can help me with. Im not very good when it comes to setting electronics up.

1) How do I get sound to my receiver when playing the LG TV apps like Netflix? Do I need to hook up the TV to the receiver via the optical output?

2) When playing movies on the PS3, the sound is off. It's very noticeable. The sound happens before the action. I'd say maybe 1/4 of a sec off. Really weird to say the least. I've messed around with some of the options, but I havent tried too many things. (scared to screw it up worse lol) If I delay the speakers via the receiver options, it would affect more than just movie playback correct? Playing netflix thru my ps3 works fine, no delay whatsoever.
Do you think it's something wrong with the PS3, TV, or receiver? Or did I just miss a setting somewhere?

I just purchased the receiver and tv. Havent had the receiver hooked up to any other tv's.

Any help would be appreciated!
