3. connect HD-A30 directly to your Pioneer TV HDMI 5 and use the optical audio cable to connect your HD-A30 to Onkyo's digital optical audio IN.
what am i doing wrong that nothing is showing up... please help thanks |
Do you mean nothing at all or just XBox and Direct TV???? ... Remember that there has to be a HDMI cable going from your receiver to your TV to see was goes thru the Onkyo ...
... I don't think there is a problem with the HDA30 because is connected directly to the TV (you just have to choose the source on the TV).
I always connect the video signal and audio directly to my TV (you can use HDMI) and the audio signal (Coax or Optical) directly to the receiver for two reasons:
1. There will be no conversion of the video (from DVD, SAT, etc to receiver and then from receiver to TV) ... the signal will go directly to TV.
2. If I want to watch something without using the receiver I CAN ... in your case if you connect something thru the receiver you have to turn it on to watch anything.
