onkyo 805 setup (im a nub)

[jabawonky]

Alright here we go..

I have my ps3 setup via HDMI to receiver and the receiver to the tv, after messing around a bit i got it to work beautifully.

Now my problem lies with setting up other components to the receiver and having them display video/sound.

I have my 360 hooked up via component 3 and red/white audio into game/tv and the receiver still going into tv via hdmi. I set component 3 as game/tv and yet nothing displays.

what am i doing wrong here? I am following the manual which i have found a nightmare. I guess getting my ps3 to display was all luck.

Keep in mind that the 805 only upconverts component to 720P so if your XBOX has HDMI use that. I don't have my manual on me but in the onscreen menu for the 805 under component I believe set component 3 to in3 and thats all you have to do. I hooked up my Wii to Component 1 and I think i set it up to in1 to Aux1 to make it work. Let me see if I can view the manual from Onkyo site....

Hmm the manual also doesn't state to check to make sure all the cords are plugged into the back of the xbox. holy shit I am dumb.

Haha, sometimes its the simplest things we overlook. Glad it wasn't something else.

It happens to the best of us, I know I've done stuff like that before!

Welcome to the club... I have done it. Even worse though, I was helping a friend try and figure it out with his new setup and it took 3 days of troubleshooting before we figured it out!!! Of course, those three days involded a lot of alcohol, which could have affected our efficiency in determining the problem.

Alcohol? Effecting efficiency?! What crooked propaganda have you been reading?!?!
