onkyo 606 1080/ 24p question

[roco]

Does the onkyo 606 accept 1080/24p signal video via HDMI?????

[MacDaddyOJack]

Yes, it then repeats the signal to your tv. The older model onkyo's (X05)will do the same thing.

May be it was a silly question ,but since the 606 doesn't state nothing about 1080/24 pass trough but it does state about 1080 , i had to make the question.

Does the onkyo 576 do the same thing? I.e. Does it accept 1080/24p video signal via hdmi?

Quick question also about the Onkyo 606. I noticed on the front display panel that the "TruHD" doesn't light up but when I look on the movie audio info via the PS3 controller that it is putting out "TrueHD". Does that light on the front panel ever light up? It always say "PCM Multi-Channel"

[Nick4Blu_81]

From what I understand, the ps3 decodes the TrueHD ans passes it along to the reciever. Since the reciever does not do the decoding the TrueHD light does not come on. I wondered the same thing. Make sure the ps3 is set to Linear PCM out, and you shouldnt have a problem.

That's what I thought. Is there a way to have the 606 decode, just as a test, to see if the "TrueHD" light turns on?

[Nick4Blu_81]

Nope, the ps3 will not bitstream TrueHd. There is actually plenty of threads about this.

This has been a place of confusion for me in deciding on a new receiver; my needs are few but one of them would be HDMI repeating and the ability for the receiver to decode TruHD / DTS-MA via HDMI. Our old Yamaha is fine for now but I'm reliant on optical / digital coax because it doesn't have HDMI (or even component - yes it's a few years old). Anyway, it looks like the 605 / 606 both do this, any reason not to go for a 605 if I can get a deal on it? Or a different model? Or Yamaha?

You should be fine. From my understanding, the receiver doesn't touch the HDMI video at all. It sends it straight to the TV without any loss of quality.

Anytime you pass video through a switch, especially in an entry level receiver, there will be some loss of signal. If you can tell or not depends on how good your display is and how good your eyes are, but it will be there.
