Onkyo 605 questions

[gadgtfreek]

Ok, got it in today and got it hooked up.

*) When bitstreaming all the audio formats from my BD30 I get PCM and no MasterHD from I Robot, so Im guessing both cables I own are NOT 1.3a(luckily I ordered one thats 1.3a, should be here tomorrow)

*) What are listening mode are you guys generally using for sat/dvd/bluray?

Thanks

Hi Liteway,Ducky here, I use Dolby+PLIIx .movie for most of Sat stuff.For HD DVD I use Multich with both pcm through HDMI and same for Analog , I don't think I have a choice when using pcm. I'm not sure about your I Robot problem.

Hehe, thanks.

You can get a ton of info over at AVS forum, ever been there?

 

[gadgtfreek]

Oh yeah, I always try little stuff like that here first. Ill prob try giving the 605 thread a read next week over there.

Im pretty sure my issue is neither of my cables are 1.3a.

 

[Dirtydan]

There are only 8600+ posts in the 605 thread, I have a TX-SR674 model, so not nearly as many posts to read.

Holy crap. I may not be reading that then.

I'm assuming you bought a re-furb unit, what was the info given for the re-furb? Mine was cosmetic damage, and I think they just replaced the front face plate, because I could find no damage at all.

[gadgtfreek]

Mine did not state any info as to what. Yeah, I took your advice, not bad for $230 + S&H

Did you go into the BD30 menu and make sure that secondary audio is turned off?

S~

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yes, it is "OFF". All 4 formats are set to bitstream.

Just found out, I had HDMI Audio Out - ON. Once I turned it off, it worked perfectly.

That was my next suggestion. Cables shouldn't matter. Glad you got it going.

Thanks. I Robot sounds great.

The 605 seems to get warmer than my sony, do you see any issues with it being inside a closed case. The side its on is actually meant for two units, but Ive pulled the center shelf out so it has plenty of room. Just wondering if I need a fan.

Also, do you have a recommendation on a certain sub level setting before start the speaker distance/level calibration?

Thanks

So I went to update my FW and it appears it has the newest version

Heres another pic

I have a 605 and a ps3 set at pcm and the 605 does not light up anything on the front panel other than pcm multichannel hdmi, - but when I press select on my ps3 controller it tells me that dts hd master audio is in fact on and also what my bitstream readings are.

I had a fan on my old Sony, a 110v plugged into the switched power outlet on the Sony. Now with my Onkyo on top of my Entertainment Center, I don't use a fan.
