Do I Have This All Set Up Right: Panasonic '10A to Onkyo '605...?

[musicman1999]

Video and audio should be thought of as a chain and every chain has a weak link, in your case it is your receiver. You have a decent television and an decent bluray player but you want to pass the video through a chip, in a $400 receiver, that is likely worth 99 cents. Anytime you pass an electrical signal through a switch the signal will degrade slightly, if you can see it or not depends on how good your eyes and your display are. My set is ISF calibrated and i can detect a slight degradation of the signal when i pass it through my Anthem pre-pro and it cost 10 times what your Onkyo did and has a great reputation for video transparency. I think you should try hooking your player up directly to the tv just to see if it makes a difference, i bet it will.
