The Official Onkyo TX-NR1009 Thread - Page 6

that's is what I up-graded to on my new 1009 to that FW .. Everything works flawless !

The latest one is dated 3-28, I updated mine to the 3-16 version 2 days after I got it without a problem but it would be nice to know what this new one is supposed to fix.

Maybe it adds 11.2 processing and Audyssey MultiEQ XT32!

How do you get the TX-NR1009 to show Master Audio and True HD on the display? I have a PS3 Slim and its set to bitstream so it must be a setting on the receiver I have to change?

Thanks

This might not be what you want to hear but the new TX-NR818 has XT32...

.

Yes I've seen that. It still doesn't have 9.2 processing and surely not 11.2. So I'm good..... so far.

yeah it does has 11 speaker terminals & 9 pre-outs , does NEO-X
just does not have 9 amps

That's a little better, however 11 speaker terminals does not make 11 channel processing. It doesn't on the 1009 either. Now the 9 pre-outs would appear to allow a 9 channel setup but you would still need to add a stereo amp. So I'm still good, so far, at least until the next 1009 comes out. But I'm sure it will cost a lot more than I paid for my 1009. I hope!

Let me run this one by you guys and see if anyone has experienced something like it. I have a TiVO premier DVR fed hdmi into the 1009. Hdmi from there to a JVC X30 projector. I have the TiVo set to output 720p or 1080i only, so it changes formats depending on the channel tuned. The 1009 was handling the up scaling to 1080p, and looked very good. Issue is sometimes when changing channels and thus changing formats the screen goes to full screen of noise that is pink in color. Sometimes you can see the video behind the noise, and others not. Changing channels again will eventually force it to detect the new format and the problem goes away. I changed the 1009 to hdmi through or direct mode and the issue went away for the last week so no question the processing or handshake between the TiVo And onkyo are to blame. Firmware was on the February version, I just updated over the weekend but haven't enabled the processing again yet. Based on the release notes I don't expect it to be fixed, but you never know.

Anyone seen something like this on their set up?

I though this was funny:

there are hundreds of threads here @ AVS that the link would & could just dove-tail into , of coarse if driven with a Stilleto TB15SS with a right slight over grip style

Afaik 3-16 is still the latest for 1009, update for 1008 was released on 3-28.

The 3-16 update description says "Stabilizes video output when using HDMI/CAT5 Extender on HDMI OUT MAIN terminal" but with my plasma television (Pioneer KRP-500A) it also fixed a problem where 1 or 2 video frames were lost or misaligned from time to time (or atleast that's how the symptoms appeared to me, this happened 3-4 times / hour). Before the newest update the workaround was to use HDMI SUB with all HDMI related stuff disabled but now I can use HDMI OUT MAIN normally.

Can you do a firmware update via USB connection to the net. My 1009 went into error3% in to downloading. Do you need a hard wire in?

yeah,
the manual covers downloading to a USB thumb drive & then using that USB thumb drive to update off the USB inlet/outlet on the back of the 1009.

What about they the wireless adapter for the unit to make it wifi?

there are some reports on other Onkyo threads that some other non-Onkyo wireless dongles work much better . IF I can find that post I'll report back ..

Me I'm a hard wire guy , everything on my Home W7 network is hard wired 2 PC's ,fax/copier/printer,2 AVR's 1009 & a 5008 , 2 LCD's, 2 Bluray players both DirecTV boxes , main HTPC , all wired up with switches ,gaming router(they have better speed), never had a problem0
the only wireless I have is keyboards & mice ...

here's the Dongle I was referring to ....

The device display typically shows input source and listening mode which is actually more useful since it shows the end result of processing, not just the input audio format. You can get it to show (momentarily) the input audio format and number of channels by pressing "Receiver" followed by "Display" on the remote.

The graphical display (on television/projector) shows more detailed information which includes input audio format and number of channels, listening mode and output channels. To get this info you have to press "Reveiver" followed by "Home", "Info" and "Audio".

Yet another option is the enable the "OSD" setting which expands the graphical display to show more operational information (here pressing "Display" will also show info on television/projector) but some might experience this as "cluttering" since stuff like user changing volume will be graphically displayed too.

Thanks for your help guys that clears things up

Considering getting this model and have seen a couple conflicting reports regarding hooking up Ipod via USB and playing through zone2/3.

Is it possible to hook Ipod via USB port and play it through either zone 2 or 3?

Thanks for any help from someone who has this unit to verify my dilemma.

Anyone try dual subwoofers? How do you configure it on the Audyssey setup? I've seen where you adjust the volume to 75db for one sub but what if you have 2 subs?

Thanks.

You set both to 75

Sounds simple enough but...

Do you turn one off then set to 75db and then again for the other sub? Or does the set up instruct you when to tune the 2nd sub ?

If you tune to 75db while both are in sound test mode- wouldn't one affect the other when fine tuning ?

It only powers one at a time I Belive

I turned one on, set it, turned it off. Turned the second one on, set it then turned them both on and went from there. The on screen graphics show 2 hooked up but I think Audessey treats them both as one during tuning.

Yup that's how my 2 SVS PC12-NSD Subs work with a 1009
It's only going to tune that last one that is tested . if you have 2 subs that are the same just make sure the settings are the same . only XT32 will tune both subs differently @ the same testing .

Anyone using front heights in a 9.2 setup? Front wides won't work for me as I don't have enough room on the side.

I plan on adding front heights as ceiling speakers as my back surrounds are also ceiling speakers. The in-ceiling speakers sound awesome for surround duty but I'm wondering how much of an effect of adding the 8th and 9th front height speakers will be?

Will it interfere with the fronts and make it worse?

Will it add more ambience and room filling sound?

Will there be a noticiable difference or nothing at all?

I'm gonna go ahead either way but wondering what 1009 owners have experienced.

thanks

the heights add more depth to movies , rain sounds like it's on your own roof , jets fly over really sound like they just passed over your house
It's Very Noticable
I love them ...

ambiance is really taken up a notch ...
make sure you read the about DSX placement recommendations
Google DTS & there is a page that has a diagram ... I look for mine & post later

I like the height speakers for the extra ambience. You can also move the dialogue vertically upward by moving some of it into the height speakers, I really like this for my projector screen setup, it is surprisingly effective. I have been running a 9.2 system with heights and back surrounds but I will soon be hooking up wides and I will have to choose between the wides and the back surrounds. I suspect I will choose wides for most situations, but will have to try both setups and see what I prefer. Really doubt that I would drop the front height speakers.

My personal preference is Audyssey DSX over the other modes (IIz/DTS:Neo X)
