    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...

    AV Sync issue with Sony BDP-S3700

    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...

    AV Sync issue with Sony BDP-S3700

    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...

    AV Sync issue with Sony BDP-S3700

    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...

    3D Has Disney basically abandoned 3D Blu-rays?

    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.

    3D Has Disney basically abandoned 3D Blu-rays?

    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...

    3D Has Disney basically abandoned 3D Blu-rays?

    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...

    multichannel inputs on Onkyo TX-NR905B

    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

    Advice on a new amp
