Alright. Here I am... sitting in my basement with my new onkyo TX-SR605 (http://www.us.onkyo.com/model.cfm?m=...=Receiver&p=i). Woo hoo! 7.1. Been dieing for this baby.

Alright. So ive hooked up all my speakers to the right places. All is fine - hooked up the wii through stereo sound just to test them all. they worked.

Now, everything is set up perfect, right? K, so lets plug in the PS3 through HDMI shall we?

I plug it in, and reach down to the receiver hoping for an "HDMI 1" button.
Oh, of coarse... that would be too easy, right?

The instructions told me to assign a slot to the HDMI using my remote. so, after about 2 hours of cleaning the basement looking for the remote (Im terrible for losing remotes. this'll prob be gone in a couple days... or... minutes.

)

So there is is. Found my remote behind my TV. Yay! I guess i should read the instructions some more before jumping into everything and screwing it up like i usually do.

Well heres what the directions told me -

"If you've connected your TV to the AV receiver/AV amplifier with an HDMI cable, you can set the AV receiver/AV amplifier so that composite video, S-Video, and componant video sources are upconverted* and output by HDMI OUT. You can set this for each imput selector by selecting the "_ _ _" option."

hmmm. im liking the sound of that. Upscaled NES? Awsome...

So I get my good old HDMI - DVI cable out and plug it into the Receiver, and into the TV.
Woo Hoo. Now to plug the PS3 into the HDMI IN, right? yup! Did it. i got me some nice 7.1 PCM audio. Awsome. except... heres the issue.

No picture! Great! I love me some black screens.

so, here we are... ive got my HDMI - DVI cable plugged into HDMI OUT on the receiver and INPUT 1 on the TV. Ive got the PS3 set to HDMI and plugged into "HDMI 1" on the receiver. Ive got the receiver set for HDMI 1 to show me, and make me hear the PS3.

All im getting is audio. is there some sort of special setup for this thing to output through HDMI or somthing?

Any help would be EXTREMELY useful.

Thanks everyone!
