HDMI OUT for ALL?

[Blu Haze]

On the 605 is the HDMI output everything to my Tv?

[Heart&Soul]

Yes.

[crackinhedz]

depends on what the source is and weather or not you want HDMI as the only output connection to the TV...if thats what you're asking?

[obiwopkenobi62]

I Hooked up my 605 as follows:
PS3 and Dish network DVR to the 2 HDMI inputs.
Up convert DVD player(used as CD player) to CD input
HD-DVD player to component input.
Then HDMI output to TV.
No matter what I'm using, everything gets routed through the HDMI to the TV. Works great.

[crackinhedz]

keep in mind, it will be scaled to 720p when converting analog to hdmi output. So your HD-DVD player may not be outputting correct...unless your TV is 720p anyway, then it doesnt matter.

[crackinhedz]

if anything, run the DishNetwork directly to the TV and use an optical cable for audio. Dolby Digital is best you will get, so optical works fine.

Sorry to jump in your thread haze, but I have the 605 coming in tomorrow and have pretty much the same question.

Would this be the proper setup?

PS3 to TV by component
PS3 to Onkyo by HDMI
Optical cable from Comcast HD box to Onkyo

What is the purpose of the HDMI out going to the TV?

Sorry, still an audio newbie.

To keep the signal digital and avoid deinterlacing and scaling errors for one thing. That's especially going to be a problem on a Phillips. Make sure BLu-ray output is set to 720p

PS3 HDMI to Reciever, Reciever HDMI to TV, make sure you set your delays, since your set probably has some processing lag

you should use HDMI.

PS3--> HDMI--> Receiver--> HDMI--> TV

Yes.

Also, does your Comcast HD box have HDMI? If so, you should also simply have:

Comcast HD > HDMI > Onkyo 605

That way, you have both PS3 and Comcast HD box going to the Onkyo via HDMI, with one HDMI out from the Onkyo to the TV.

WHat will the setting be? For all 7.1 sound and HDMI out only?

not sure what you're asking here?

You should set the PS3 to Linear PCM.

My related question is...

If I'm using a single HDMI input from my Onkyo 805 to Samsung LN-T4661F, is there a way to configure different calibration settings on the TV depending on the source (e.g. Directv, PS3, 360, etc.)?

As Blu Haze has pointed out, the TV sees all sources as one input.

Thanks!

no, you pretty much have to share. (which is why I like the Marantz SR7002/8002 so much, has two hdmi outputs.)

What I would do is connect the PS3 and 360 to the Receiver, and share the settings...calibrated for bluray of course.

Then connect the DirecTV directly to the TV, run an optical cable for audio.

Actually, to be more specific for you, HDMI from the PS3 to the Onkyo and then HDMI from Onkyo to TV will get your PS3 picture to your TV AND YOUR HD AUDIO TO YOUR RECEIVER ALL THROUGH ONE CABLE... but I'm sure you already knew that.
