I have read through countless number of pages of this thread and have seen my question asked, but not completely answered. I really need your help.

I have a PS3 hooked up to the 805 via HDMI and HDMI from the 805 to my TV. Everything is working like a champ from a video perspective, but I cannot get more than 2 channel digital audio. The front display of the 805 only shows that the left (FL) and right channels (FR) are active. I cannot get Dolby Digital. I have validated that HDMI Audio on the 805 is set to OFF. I also read a post to set the PS3 up for bitstream rather than PCM. Did that too and still only two channels and no Dolby Digital - and this is for both games and DVDs/Blu Rays.

When I click display on the PS3 is shows Dolby Digital 5.1 48kHz. And again, on the 805, only the two front channels and no Dolby Digital.

I am sure that there is an easy fix for this that I am completely overlooking.

Please help!

Thanks very much in advance!

Jeremy

Will the 805 upconvert signals over the component output. (Example 480p component input or 480i s-video input = _____ component output). I know that the 805 will not convert HDMI digital signals to an analog output. I know the 805 upconverts analog signals to 720p over HDMI. I want to know if the 805 upconverts analog to analog. If the 805 does upconvert over analog then what are the available resolutions. The TV still has a good picture and do not intend to replace it at this time. Thanks.

I have an Integra DVD changer hooked component in, monitor out is HDMI....resetting the receiver clears it...

Thought it was a DVD the other night as I had the problem....sent it back to Netflix saying it was bad....watched another after it with no issues.....watched another today and it seems clean, no scratches...

Any ideas...?

In the last few months I have upgraded my system with all new speakers (JBL Studio L) an Onkyo 805, and am currently waiting for my Epik Castle sub (woo-hoo-- Canadian dollar at par or above). Because of all the above upgrades I have had to re-think some adjustments on associated hardware that is part of my system--as in my Clark transducers in my couch. I have them set up so that the left and right couch seats get their signals from the left and right main speakers respectively. The center seat gets the LFE signal. Unfortunately my center seat Clark recently passed away but I figure the new Epik Castle will more than make up for it. However, for the L and R Clarks to be effective they need a full-range signal from the mains. Although my JBL L890's are considered full-range (down to 28hz) test results show they are most efficient above 40 or 50 hz (like many,many "full-range" speakers). There-in lies the problem I had to solve. How could I cross-over my mains at 40 or 50 and yet still supply my Clarks with a full-range signal to play with? What I have done necessitates having a DVD player that also has multi-channel analog outputs (for SACD OR DVD AUDIO) My main DVD player is the OPPO 981HD which has those outputs but numerous other players have this capability as well. For Zone 2 or 3 on the Onkyo 805 to operate there needs to be an ANALOG signal. I ran analog RCA cables from the multi-channel left/right outputs from the OPPO to the analog "in" left/right inputs on the DVD inputs on the 805. Ensure that your DVD player set-up is such that all player speaker settings are set to LARGE. My Clark transducers each have their own amplifier but only need one cable attached for operation--left OR right. I connected these RCA cables to left/right on zone 3. As per the 805 manual you set-up zone 3 to get it's signal from the DVD player. PRESTO! I now have my mains cross-overed for optimal SOUND and my Clarks are getting a full-range signal for optimal EFFECT. Audio synchronization seems to be fine. There are two downsides. One is that my Clarks will only work when I'm using the OPPO. Not a big deal for me really as that's really the only source I care about the Clarks being operational. The other downside is matching level-control of the Clarks with various sound volumes through the speakers. I'll probably set a "happy medium". I know this is kind of a user-specific type post but I thought someone else may be interested in this "work-around".

Good question... i know it upcoinverts those lower inputs to component out (if you have HDMI Monitor Out OFF, otherwise it would be uspcaled to HDMI instead) but as for what res these come out via component, Im not sure although i suspect it would just be the original res...

I just got a PS3 and I don't remember having to do much of anything to get it to send multichannel. In my case, everthing seems to come over as Multichannel 7.1 PCM 48khz. I went into the audio setup on the PS3, selected HDMI, then answered yes when it asked if I wanted it configured automatically. When I switched it to manual, pretty much every sound option was checked.

The only setting on the 805 that can affect this is HDMI Audio Out, and you say you've already made sure it's off, so I would concentrate on your PS3 settings.

Also, I have tried both the bit stream and the linear PCM option on the PS3 and still no multichannel. The PS3 displays that it is decoding DD 5.1, but the 805 shows on the display left and right channel only. Guess I will go through all of my settings again on the PS3...this is becoming very frustrating!

I welcome any other suggestions - thanks!

So is that why I am displaying only right and left channel on the 805? It sounds really good, just don't know if it should sound even better.

For those of you who seem to be having no problems, when you play a regular DVD or Blu Ray, what specifically does your 805 display? Does it display all 5 or 7 channels? Does the "Dolby Digital" display on the 805?

Blu-ray players

1. Panasonic DMP-BD30 (most widely recommended)
2. Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD
3. Samsung BD-P1400

You will not see Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, or DTS-HD MA on your receiver with any other players.

This is a similar issue to what a guy in the 705 thread was seeing with his original xbox input over component and upscaling to HDMI, the picture would shake etc, then "split" with the wrong half of the picture on each side of the screen. Cant remember but i think he had 720P forced on. If you can change the output res of your DVD player you might try 480i, 480P etc and see if you can find a setting where the onkyo doesnt mess up the signal. Also if you are forcing 720P does it work OK without?

Six channel icons are lit on the front panel: FL, C, FR, SL, LFE, and SR

I get the same thing whether I select a DD 5.1 track or an uncompressed PCM track.
