Receivers Not Passing Audio over HDMI?

Der skal bruges separat lydkabel.

Sony STR-DG 820 er lige blevet rakket ned i T3, men det er måske heller ikke det mest seriøse blad, men de havde trods alt den rigtige vinder (Onkyo) .

Der findes forskellige modeller, som ikke har lyd med via hdmi, f.eks. den mindste fra Onkyo (TX-SR 506) har heller ikke.


Hvorfor de laver disse halve løsninger er nok pga. prisbillig alternativ. De kan jo i princippet tage en gammel model og forholdsvis nemt smække en HDMI videoswitch i, voila en SR med hdmi til billig penge.

Yes... I might have to get used to the look of the Onkyo series. Aesthetics
are a bit of a concern for me as well unfortunately.

I can't believe the NAD which is up around 6.000 Danish couldn't manage
this. Pretty disappointing. I will check out the Onkyo's again.

Any other suggestions?

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder :-), Although I am really in
favor of silver as a general rule, the black is - you're right - in this case
better. It hides the black stripe which otherwise makes the silver model
look a bit dated.

In other news, the STR-DG-820 does pass audio. But one thing I did
notice is that it is extremely slow to switch between sources. Maybe it was
the TV, but it seemed to take 5 or 10 seconds to detect the audio and
video and begin passing the signal from the Apple TV to which it was
connected.

Is THIS normal? Sorry, but I am a HiFI noob. I would have expected that
when I changed the source on the receiver from say, DVD to VIDEO 1,
that it would be almost instant.

We are living in 2008, right?

Kampus, er det din trojan virus der får dig til at skrive engelsk trods trådstarter skriver han forstår at læse dansk

Anywhooo. Hvad med en denon 2308?

Præcis hvad menes her?

At man IKKE skal tænde receiver, når man vil se signal fra sin PS3? f.eks? eller? for med 4 indgange og kun 1 udgang ved jeg ikke hvordan video/audio passthrough skal fungere, med 3 signaler? (i mit tilfælde STR-DG720)

@ Kampus "It isn't an issue for me to wait 10 sek for the Onkyo to shift between sources."

Do you mean it doesn't take 10 seconds for the Onkyo, or that you don't mind that it does? :-)

I think it's absurd, frankly. These are small computers, they should be able to handle it. It's probably the
HDMI spec which is to blame, maybe doing all kinds of hand-shakes and making sure the source and
destination are authorized. (SUK)

The thing that really troubled me about the 820 though was that it seemed like if you were watching a
source, say your Apple TV, and then you turned off the unit - when you turned the unit on again it didn't
seem to feed out a signal to the TV again until you select another source and then go back. To sort of
wake it up. What a drag!

I guess my expectations are pretty high. And I agree things are getting more complicated but....but 10+
seconds???

The only good news is that the 820 did take sound and video together from the single HDMI connection.
That was nice. But the overall build quality of this receiver is a definite minus. It is also almost half the
price of the NAD or the Onkyo 606,...so I guess they saved money making it in plastic. And I could live
with that as well if it were maybe a little better to switch sources.

@furious jt - I am going to check it out. Don't know much about Denon frankly but the more I learn the
more impressed I am.

@pendec, ...the original post was about the lack of ability in some receivers to pass audio with the video
over HDMI. I would like to have 3 HDMI sources (Apple TV, Xbox, and an HV20) connected and be able to
switch between them and to hear them without also attaching an optical line or analog cables.

Since then things have devolved into my complaining about waiting for source switching (10 seconds!?),
and also taking recommendations on other alternatives.
