"The" Onkyo TX-SR875 Thread - Page 150

#1. If I feed an HD cable box into it, will it automatically "switch" it's processing depending on what I am watching within that particular input?
Ex...NFL in HD is 1080i/30, HBO HD is 1080i/24, regular cable is probably 480i, etc....

#2. I know that you can't just pass HDMI straight through for Blu-Ray (one input) AND have it process the video signals from the other inputs, my question is, if I leave the processing on, will it molest the 1080p signal from the Blu-Ray at all?????

Thanks,
Bryan

If you set the output resolution to Through, then all video passes though without scaling. If you also turn Immediate Mode off, the video should pass through unchanged.

My question is what does everyone have for settings on the LFE page? I'm talking about the different standards setup page with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby True HD and the others?

Should any of them be set differently then the 0 db setting?

Thanks.

Depending on your audyssey settings if your speakers are set to Large you may have to change them to small or set the crossover to 80 and set the subwoober to 120. I also boosted my subwoofer up by 5dbs. (personal preference).

quick question for you Onkyo owners. Does the 805 / 875 display the volume and sound mode on screen? My receiver sits in a separate room and when I up the volume I'd like to see it on the TV screen the same with the sound mode (ie. DD or DTS)... I'd like to know if this receiver 805 and 875 will do that.

Now the only other question I have is: is there still an audio delay when for instance video is paused and then played through the 875 or has this been rectified with some of the laster firmware updates? What I mean by audio delay is when you let go of the pause button does the video start a couple of seconds before the audio?

I'm wondering is some people could chime in here and answer this question for me. I have recently connected HDMI as well as component up to my display through my RXV1800 Yamaha receiver (I'm currently testing the Yammy and am thinking of getting the Onkyo 875 instead) and noticed that through HDMI the picture was way darker and with less shadow detail than the same content through component. Any of you 875 owners noticed this with your Onkyo? I'm wondering if the Yamaha HDMI upscaler is causing this and if the Onkyo would be better. Any of you notice that the HDMI is way darker than component?
