Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I am unable to get my receiver to register my digital audio input. I go to the setup and assign the digital audio inputs, but when I check the info using the "home" button, it shows the audio input is from the HDMI. I can't figure what I'm missing...

I am coming from a Onkyo TX-SR608 that crapped out on me just a few months out of warranty. It was adequate for my living room at the time. Now I have a dedicated space and wanted to get something with more power and features. My minimum requirements are the following. - less than...

I have a Panasonic Viera 50px75u 720p plasma, hooked up to an Onkyo TX-SR608. On the Onkyo, I set the resolution setting in the Input/Output menu to "Through", which should just pass through without any conversion. Then, when I run through the setup on some connected devices (PS3, AppleTV)...

I am thinking of buying Polk Audio Surroundbar IHT 3000 Instant Home Theater (IHT) but not sure if i can connect it with my receiver. This speaker system has an optical input (meaning optical output from tv can be connected to this speaker system) and my receiver has an optical input too. Is...

Hi, Few years back I bought a new Onkyo tx-sr608 and hooked it up with POLK AUDIO RM6750 speaker system. I love it. Now, I am planning to move into a new house and have a larger area and want to add 2 more speakers and a subwoofer. I am confused as what I should buy ? I know there are lot of...

I apologize in advance if this is not the proper forum. If it is not, I would appreciate it if a mod could move it. That being said... I currently have an Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver. According to the specs it has HDMI 1.4 which capable of audio return. I was hoping someone could give me a bit...

Hi All, I have a mid range Onkyo TX-SR608 and I want to do a specific thing... while I'm playing games via one of my 5 HDMI ports, I'd like to use the front AUX port (RCA or minijack analog) as the audio for music (overriding the HDMI audio). So far, I've gotten close by doing the...

Hello Forum members, it's been awhile since i last joined the forums as I don't have an opportunity to purchase new AV equipment that often. Knowing the wealth of experience within this forum I thought I would ask for your opinions and expertise once again. I'm looking for a new set of tower...

Shopping for a new TV and want to keep using my Onkyo TX-SR608. Are there any limitations or concerns I should have? I am looking at getting the Panasonic TC-P60ST60 and the Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers.

Hopefully i posted this in the right place. Forgive me if I didn't. I just replaced a 30w center channel speaker from a crappy 20 year old HTiB (no known specs) with a new Polk TSx150C. I'm having difficulty configuring it. Many TV shows on cable, some blu-rays and dads sound 'hollow'. Not...

 My old Nintendo GameCube has seen a resurgence in popularity in my household recently and, tired of fuzzy composite video, I bought a YPbPr component cable so we could play in 480p. I've tried the cable on two 1080p plasma televisions where it was connected straight to the TV and looked...

He owns everything else in this house, figured better make it his Cinema too: This will be a slow build so don't expect it done in a month like some of BIG's builds!! Two jobs, a puppy and a 5 year old are enough to keep me pretty busy! Details of build: Framing/Drywall/Sound Isloation...

I bought some HD 600's along with a Schiit Asgard 2 external headphone amp without realizing I don't have the necessary pre outs to hook them up together. So, it's either get a TX-NR717 (or similar) or hope my TX-SR608 will drive these 300 ohm headphones at least adequately.

Hey guys, Its been a while since I've looked into home theater receiver offerings, and I'm having a really tough time finding a used box that can handle what I need. I've got a good location for my players/equipment connected to my TV via a ~8-10ft duct in the wall, through which I have...

Hey Audiophiles... I have a puzzler for you. I am running an Onkyo for my main home theater 5.1 in Zone 1. The zone 2 controls the outdoor and kitchen speakers. I am streaming Spotify from my Mac Pro, through apple TV which is connected to the Onkyo. This setup has been working great, until...

Never had any issues till recently. Only thing I changes was went from my Panasonic plasma to my projector optima 750 (I belive ) but I've had my projector for a year and it just started happening. I wish it was consistent but sometimes it happens 4-5 times in a hour and other times it won't...

Hello, I am on my second Onkyo receiver in 5 years. The first one had hdmi issues and the board fried. Had the SR608 as replacement for about 2 years now I think and it recently started making noise. The fan is rattling. Is this a part that can be bought somewhere? I assume it is a standard...

Greetings from a fellow AV newbie! I've recently bought a sound system which includes Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver, - and has been having all sorts of troubles with setting it up correctly. Other relevant hardware is ATI 7970 card and Dell 2007fp display. Basically what I want to accomplish is...
