Well the red and white RCA cables are only used for 2 channels (left and right), this is why only two of them were working. Is there a setting on a menu on how the audio is transmitted (RCA, HDMI, optical)?

You are going to want to look into getting either an OPTICAL CABLE or COAX DIGITAL CABLE. Make sure to find out which of these two cables will work with BOTH the playback unit and the receiver!

the PS3 doesnt have a COAX Digital Output...so you will have to get an Optical cable if you want surround sound.

ah, then by all means, use coaxial digital...

alkalinesi · 12-27-2007, 04:41 PM

ok guys, hooked up my digital coaxil and theres only sound coming out of the dront 2 speakers none of the surround speakers or center. anybody with this setup? do i have to fix the blu ray change it somehow, i dunno. its hooked up cuz the radio works. on the phone with onkyo but there just running me in circles. thanks

Check your players audio settings!...

mr.hidef · 12-27-2007, 04:47 PM

Also, check your speaker set up under audio settings. Just run a optical cable from your player to the input on the back of the onkyo, and make sure your receiver is assigned to that digital input.

On a different but similar note: I'm about to buy the Onkyo 605. This model allows HMDI audio passthrough right?

gearyt · 12-27-2007, 04:54 PM

Don't know your receiver, but should be close to mine...

three ways to get 5.1
optical ( TosLink fiber )
or
Coax
RCA to RCA
or
5 seperate feeds from player to AMP

Need to set AMP to select which input to use and what for
IE: Optical 1 = DVD
Need to set Source to output to either Optical or Coax
some have really small switches on back by connectors, others software
you should see light coming out of fiber if used

are you trying to set up the panny or the PS3 ??

and yes the 605, 705, etc are plug and play thru HDMI

alkalinesi · 12-27-2007, 05:29 PM
