apparently there is something with this receiver that the hdmi cables only carry video over through this receiver. they don't do both audio and video like others. i have researched and found this. so what would you suggest now that i have post the above.thanks
You'll be fine connecting the video and audio source directly to TV (DVD, SAT, etc.) and just the audio to the Onkyo ... It takes a couple of seconds more because you have to change the source on the TV and receiver to watch a movie (eg.: choose DVD input on TV and DVD input on receiver) but it works better because there is no signal conversion anywhere ... that's the way I have everything on my HT
