705 question

[richterbon23]

everytime I turn my reciever off the volume goes back to zero (or so quiet you can't hear it... y is this? won't the reciever remember what volume it was left at and stay there?

also i have my ps3 hooked up to it via hdmi. when do i use bitstream? should i put it on bitstream for dvds and dts hd ma blurays? for dolby true hd tracks do i leave it set to linear pcm?

Sounds like it may be in the "store display" mode, call Onkyo to find out how to turn that off

You need to set everything to PCM except regular dolby digital and DTS

Most receivers today have an option that you can set for the default power-on volume level. Check the OSD menu, the option should be there as I know the 805 has it, and I believe you can also turn it off or set it to "last" which is the last volume position that was used. I have mine set to power on at a moderate volume level just in case I had it cranked up the last time I used it - avoids surprises.

Yes, you need to have it on Linear PCM to get the benefit of the lossless audio codecs.

....set it to a level you like when turning it on.

The PS3 does not bitstream any of the HD audio codecs, and on top of that it does not yet internally decode DTS-MA (this is supposed to happen eventually via a firmware update).

The easiest solution is to leave the PS3 on Linear PCM. All the decoding (DD, DTS, DD+, TrueHD, PCM Uncompressed) will simply be done by the PS3 and sent out as PCM to the receiver.
