The receiver is not detecting DTS, DOLBY DIGITAL or any different sound that LFE, this from my PS3, what can I do

Make sure that your PS3 settings - sound settings- set up to play automatic. And that the only way you'll get DTS or Dolby digital is if it is recorded that way (super bit etc.). Hope this helps!

Have you reset the audio/video signal from your ps3? Are you using a newer style hdmi cord or using the optical video cable on ps3?

All I can tell you is to call Sony and explain the situation. In my case I was getting no sound except from fm unless I did a reset. They walked me through a procedure where I shut off or disabled various hdmi functions and that solved the problem and said there was probably some conflict with some of the devices connected to the receiver.

I had a similar problem on my Xbox 360 through HDMI. The trick that worked for me was to set the AUDIO OUT under the HDMI settings in the receiver menu to AMP. It was set to AMP/TV and for some reason that doesn't allow for DTS or Dolby Digital. Good luck!

First, ensure that your external audio system is set up to receive a digital audio signal. Then, you may want to try to adjust the SPDIF output type on the TV. You can toggle between Dolby Digital and PCM audio by navigating to MENU/SOUND/SPDIF TYPE.

I'm also having problems with the sub. It worked initially but now it doesn't. Nothing comes out. I've tried a different cable and different sub so I know its the receiver. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours?

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3. Thing is, for some reason I can't seem to get the PS3 to output dolby surround or dts. I'm running an HDMI cable from the PS3 into the HDMI 2 port on the tv. Then I'm running a fiber optic digital cable from the tv into my little mini receiver -- I have a set of Logitech THX 5.1 speakers. I can get the PCM Stereo on DVDs and BluRay discs, but not surround. I know it's not an issue from the TV to the receiver, because I still get dolby surround on TV shows that have it. I've also tried adjusting setting on the PS3. Any advice? Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3.

Hi Derran, use the Speaker Calibration settings of the Sony STRDH750 Stereo Receiver. This will let you check if the speakers are working and to change the db settings. -Vincent

I have last years model (605) and wondered the same thing. if you're looking for your TrueHD to light up on your receiver - it wont. Your PS3 won't send TrueHD via bitstream (to be converted by your receiver), so you won't see the light. The PS3 offers only internal decoding of this and DTS-HD, which means you'll need to send an already decoded signal (via PCM, NOT bitstream) to your receiver and run your receiver on "Direct" to play it. You'll get TrueHD sound/signal, but your receiver won't ever light up "TrueHD". You can run the "display" setting on your PS3 though which will show your outputing the TrueHD signal to your receiver. The light won't "light" up though. Info on this can be found on the net, or in your PS3 manual. Hope it helps.

Try digging into the PS3 menus and try altering your video output in the "audio/video settings" menu...I have a PS3 connected to an HDMI receiver and I think you may have to let the PS3 know what output you are using because the HDMI is separate from the other video output plug.

You could try to update the firmware on your receiver, it worked for me. Very easy to do, but it ties up the receiver for an hour. See page 122 of the manual on how to do it. (https://docs.sony.com/release/STRDA5800ES_EN_FR.pdf)

Each mode (blu ray, cable, console games etc.) remembers the last configuration for that mode. Its possible the audio mode is not in the correct setting. Go to your blu ray and when a deisc is playing make sure its set to "standard" and not something like stero. Also, while in standard the receiver will playback the sound in the format it receives and sometimes like movie previews the will be record in stero and may not have a sub channel. Once the movie starts you should see the channel light back up.

Look for audio Left and Right channel outputs (red and white) on the back of the TV, if it has them. Some TVs only have inputs like this (not outputs - out will be clearly labelled if you have them), which won't help. If your TV has these outputs, you can connect them to any input on the back of your Sony receiver. However, even then it may not provide sound for sources connected to the TV (Sat, Cable, Disc) which are connected to your TV using HDMI cables. You could try using a headphone output on the TV plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack on the back of the Sony, which would work with all sources connected to the TV. To try this just order a stereo connection cable with male 3.5mm plugs on each end. You'd have to turn the volume up some on both the TV and Sony receiver until you find the volume setting that gives you enough range to then control with the Sony remote. Another way would be to use RCA out jacks from the Source device itself, whether that is a cable/sat box or disc player. Then you have to switch audio separately from video on the TV, which can be confusing for some. The underlying issue here is that stereo receivers lack HDMI connections, which combine sound and picture with one cable.

I have a very similar problem with my PS3 connecting to my Sony 46" LCD (Z Series). I have been testing the conditions and doing a complete system reset on the PS3 always takes care of the issue, but takes some time to redo all settings. I have been looking for answers on the various forums without luck. Also, turning on and off both the TV and PS3 takes care of the issue without doing the reset. I have found out that having everything working fine if I turn off the TV only and back on, the sound is gone. I believe is a decoding issue the TV has, for some reason if the TV starts after the PS3 it does not recognize the HDMI audio source. I know this does not cover your ONKYO issue but gives you a start. (I have downloaded the latest 3.10 update for PS3 and have not seen any problems just yet (for 3 days) but I am not very confident since I have been updating both the TV and PS3 constantly. I am considering upgrading my old 5.1 Kenwood A/V Receiver just to take care of this issue.

connect the toshlink from your tv to the Sony receiver. change audio output setting to "external" or "surround" speakers in your setting section of tv menu. it should work fine. good luck!

Dear B. Ben,The DT soundbar will not pass a 4K signal. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I had the same thing happen to my unit just over a year after purchase. It won't recognize any discs. I highly recommend buying the sound system separate instead of a combo unit. If you want to find just the receiver, I'd try eBay. I have seen the entire unit go for $125.

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.
