Tx-Sr805 and PS3=No audio

[SDBlu]

I just hooked the 805 up to the PS3 via HDMI and no audio at all...what am i doing wrong? Is the HDMI cable the only cable i need for both audio and video? With my old 505 i needed HDMI and Optical for audio...do i still need both of these cables? Maybe it is a setting on the receiver itself...Bitstream or PCM?

You need to have it as Linear PCM and under audio, go to HDMI, manual, and select everything. Make sure you have the 805 HDMI input and output correctly set. Also make sure you're not in any stereo mode until you've got everything set.

pretty sure i did that already...however on the bd/dvd settings the very bottom it still says bd audio output format it still says (digital optical) and to the right of that it is set to Linear PCM...do i need to change that?

You went through the HDMI menu, selected everything, set it to Linear PCM, saved the settings, made sure the receiver isn't doing HDMI pass-through (HDMI Audio OUT= OFF), made sure you didn't have the HDMI cable assigned to the wrong input, and made sure you were using a mode such as THX Cinema? Remove your optical cable if you must. The only reason it would say that is because you don't have the HDMI settings right.

yes, in the receiver 'HDMI Audio Out' should be set to OFF.

Ok...had to go to work last night and still cant get it to work. I get video, but no audio. I already checked all of the things you guys mentioned. The HDMI Audio Out is set to OFF on the receiver, the PS3 is set to Linear PCM and i checked all of the options on the manual screen. I dont have the Digital Optical even plugged in anymore, never did to the 805. I'm running out of things to check...any more suggestions?????

Go into your ps3.......sound settings, audio output settings.. select HDMI.

[CasualKiller]

In the sound menu of your PS3 set audio output to HDMI.

Inside the front flap of your 805 there's a button called "Digital Input" Cycle through until your audio fires up.

Marcos I had to send mine back for almost the same problem youre having....I couldnt get any audio from the front speakers.....If you checked all youre settings and connections and theyre ok trying reseting the receiver back to default and try it again ....Good luck

Just got off the phone with Onkyo Tech Support. It is defective! Now i gotta send mine back too. I tried to do the same...reset it...and nothing. No static on the test tone to any of the speakers. THIS SUCKS!

So now the question is do i have to pay for shipping it back? Hey GRIP? where did you get yours from? How did that return work out for you? I got mine from E-Cost and of course...they are closed today.

I got mine at Shoponkyo.com ......They send me a prepay FeDex return label ..The day after I send it back for an exchange they put the 805 on sale so I cancelled the exchanged and bought it again for $120 cheaper that I had bought it a week before.

BTW Amazon drop the price for the 805 new one.

So the one you have now works properly i assume. I just found an ad at a local store and they are selling it for 599.00 I bought mine for 509 and thought i got a good deal...but now i have to deal with this crap

The only reason I bought it on line is because non of the stores in my area had them any more....I never buy big electronics on line because of this reason.....Sending a bluray back is no biggie compare to sending out a 60 pound receiver....

I havent received the new one yet but if theres any problem with it is going back for good....Ill just keep my 803 until I find one local or wait till the next 807..

I got the first one for $560.00 shipped and the new one for $443.00 shipped...Couldnt resist.

The reason I bought online was because it was 500 dollars cheaper than the local stores. But now they went down in price locally too. Not as cheap as online, but comparable.
