So I turned on my system and the audio comes through fine, but the video is varying degrees of scrambled depending on the device I'm using. I am fairly sure after checking the inputs and the cables it is a problem with the receiver so I don't expect someone to solve the problem for me (but I'd...

Hey Scott, So i finally found an Ethernet cable long enough to connect to my TV (Had to dig through alot of boxes) unfortunately the TV did not have any updates available. I think you are correct that there is some kind of handshake issue, because it appears that everytime i use a new input...

Hey Scott, I did think of that idea as well. Unfortunately more testing has determined that itbis not the input. Right now it seems like this is the biggest coincidence yet or I am missing something very basic. We are now getting the audio lag on both inputs, with both our cable box and the...

Ok So i know this is going to be a weird one. I bought my wife a Sony BDP-S3700 as a little add on gift, it was intended to replace the aging DVD player on our secondary TV. It is connected via HDMI directly to our Samsung TV, and we use the TV speakers. The first unit i had displayed a very...

Hey, thanks, I bit the bullet and ordered it form Amazon.co.uk and im just crossing my fingers it will indeed be region free :)

Yeah it looks to me like he used the term "paper" specs just to differentiate from things like picture quality etc. ie they only report on the measurable things not the subjective things.

Thanks, I pulled the trigger and ordered it, and yeah I always get great advice on this site. Thanks again everyone :)

Thanks for the awesome information David, and yeah i found the same thing looking at ebay the prices were insane. Do you know of any resource where i could confirm that guardians vol 2 is actually region free?

Hey David thanks for the reply, i headed straight over to Amazon.co.uk but unfortunately theirs is region 2 so it wont work for me here in Canada. I did want to ask though, where are you looking that you are finding just the 3d disc people are stripping out? I really dont mind paying a small...

I did a search and could not see this topic addressed recently, but this year with both Star Wars Rogue One, and with Guardians of the Galaxy, there was only one way to get a 3D copy in Canada. For Rogue one it was a limited edition steelbook exclusive to Best Buy, and from what I can tell they...

Well I know my system could really use this upgrade, the sub is the worst part of the whole thing :)

Its pretty simple, 3D tv, Denon X5200W powering all 9 Paradigm speakers, and every single component i have all hooked into one Amplifier at long last :)

Yeah...... should have read more of my manual years ago i guess, on my old Yamaha amp that was not the case, the multi-channel inputs were their own input, but on the Onkyo where they are assignable this was necessary

So Ed, i dont know if you check the forum anymore, but i never got it working..... just could not figure out the problem, and now today after having to hook p my system again, i tried a few more things, and it turns out that i needed to press the audio selector button on the Onkyo remote to have...

For my part i dont have a problem with mistakes that a company owns up to and fixes, much better than the companies that claim no mistake was made at all after the fact.
