Stupid Question - Onkyo TX-NR727

[Edh63]

Ok, I've had a brain fart and I cannot remember how to set my display on my 727 to read the mode I'm listening to, i.e THX Cinema, Stereo, All Channel Stereo, PLII Movie blah blah blah. I had my 705 set-up to read these modes out on the face but I can't for my life remember how I set it to do that.

Any help would be appreciated.

listening mode button for either movies or music.

I probably wasn't clear about this. My 705 would readout the audio codec on the face plate whenever I'd change a channel or watch a BR. It would retain that readout on the face plate once I made the change of either channel or watching a BR. Right now on my 727 it reads cab/sat watching TV. If I'm watching a BR it reads DVD. It's simply giving me the input readout. How do I get the receiver to read the audio codec instead of cab/sat? I can get the readout to scroll the codec for a couple of seconds, but once it finishes that, it goes back to the input. I know it can be done because I did it on my 705. If I was watching a show in Dolby Digital, it would read that on the face plate. If I was watching a BR in DTS-HD Master it would retain that codec on the face plate. I know this is a simple solution, but I just can't remember what I did to get the audio codecs to read instead of the inputs.

i have a 525 in my bedroom and i just push display and it shows the codec. i think if i push display several times it will stay showing the codec on the receiver's screen.

you may have to push the "receiver" button on the left sometimes then push display.

hope that's what your talking about, cause if not...........

if this doesn't help, i'll check it out when i get home.

Yes, I think you're right! Pushing both buttons at the same time is, I believe, the answer. I will let you know when I check it out.

Thanks for your response, solarrdadd.

not at the same time, push receiver, then push display. sometimes, the only thing i need to do is push display like 2 or three times. again, i'll let you know for sure later.

keep us posted buddy. we're gonna get you through this one....
