It won't help.

Having a couple of issues with my new NR-609. First, every time I turn it off it then back on it somehow resets the video output settings on my cable box? I will set it to output 1080i and to stretch 4:3 but I turn the receiver off then on again and it goes back to 720p and preserve 4:3 any idea how it is doing this?

Second, one of the reasons i upgraded my receiver was for DTS Master Audio & Dolby True HD audio formats. But I can't seem to get either one. I have a PS3 as my blu-ray player, does it even output those formats? I thought it did? I tried both Inception (DTS-MA) and the Dark Knight(Dolby THD) but neither format played through the receiver.

I have a brand new Onkyo TX-NR509. Its primary use is to connect my HTPC via HDMI cable - the video goes to a projector, the audio is supposed to come out over the 5.1 system. The HTPC is running Windows 7 and is putting out signals through a Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB Dirt 3 Edition.

Video is working perfectly - no problem there.

However, I can't get any audio through HDMI.

That is, on the HTPC, I DO see "AMD DP Output" under "Playback Devices" and I have it set as my "Default Device." As music plays the volume level indicator moves just fine. (The PC is unmuted, too!) Also, I didn't have any trouble sending a signal from the HTPC to the Onkyo via Toslink or stereo cable. Everythign is fine there.

As for settings on the Onkyo, I have HDMI1 associated with BD/DVD and the HDMI cable plugged in there. I've also messed with the settings under Setup - HDMI Setup, and nothing has made any difference.

Nor does it make any difference whether the projector is off or on.

Is it possible that something is defective here?? As far as I can tell either I have (a) a software problem in Windows 7, (b) a hardware problem with my Radeon 6950, (c) a problem with the cable (brand new, rated HDMI 1.3 - but not expensive), (d) a hardware problem with the Onkyo or (e) a settings problem with the Onkyo.

Unfortunately, I also don't have another HDMI device to test with ...

I honestly don't know where to start here - nor whom to contact for help. Do Onkyo people provide good support in a situation like this? Or is there something obvious I'm doing wrong here?

This is exactly one of the issues I am having that I posted a few posts back. I did try turning on devices in different order. It came on the way it should be. But, after being turned off for a while, it would come back on set to 480i. I have found that if I turn everything on, I will get audio almost immediately, and no video for about 60-120 seconds, then video comes on and it is set to 1080 the way it should be. So, I guess there is just a delay in replaying the video? Is there a setting that I am missing? Or maybe I have some video setting configured on the 609 that is keeping it from rendering video right away?

I am intending to hook these up to a TX-NR609, however, the following verbiage in the manual makes be nervous:

"You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated."

Is this something I should be worried about?

Thank you in advance for any insight.

How to store and recall all settings.
All operations are done from the front panel, not the remote.
To store:
1.Push and hold setup on the avr.
2.Then push enter.
3.unit displays setup store.
4.Still holding setup, push enter again.
5.Unit displays setup storing.
6.Unit then displays complete.
All audessy,tuner presets,input names,intelli volume and power on level are stored.
To recall:
1. push and hold setup on avr.
2.Then push return.
3.Unit displays setup recall ?
4. Still holding setup, push return again.
5.Unit displays setup recalling.
6.Unit then displays complete.
avr will go into standby mode.
I had to use this feature once and it works!
Remember if you change any settings rerun store program.
This sure beats having to reenter everything again.

3. Changing the inputs sometimes causes clicking in the receiver. Switching the audio mode to "direct" also clicks. Is this normal?
