Contrary to the instructions included with most AVR's...
You don't need to take video out from the TV to the receiver. Once it gets to the TV it has found its ultimate destination.
And you don't NEEDS to GET audio FROM a TV either, unless it tunes stations from its own antenna.
Otherwise the SAT/Cable box can provide analog audio to the TV for watching lo-fi programming like news with the Onkyo OFF; and you can run digital multichannel directly to the Onkyo for its special treatment.
Running either hi-end audio or high-end video to a device that doesn't absolutely need it wastes expensive cabling and introduces a couple more connections to worry about.

Thanks for the advice,the reciever seems to be working now,not sure exactly what i did apart from changed a few settings on the dvd player and tried again.Played the HD DVD of 300 and the TRUE HD sign came on,lets hope thats that, thanks agen.
I'm having the same problem. I have the PS3, and the Toshiba HD A2. I'm also using a 3 way HDMI hooked into the Game/Tv hdmi slot 1. And my HD Sat in the DVD HDMI slot 2. My Dvd's have True HD and the other advanced logos, rush hour 3 even has 7.1, but I haven't heard any of these advanced sounds yet. It keeps saying pcm 48 hertz. I have the Ps3 set to LPCM, and the HD DVD to PCM as well. In order for me to get the 7 speakers to produce sound I have to set the receiver to the P II movie setting. But I know that not true hd, or true 7.1.
I just posted the previous question, and needed to add that all my source formats are set to Direct. The receiver only seems to respond when I change the first one in the list, the analog one at the top.
I also have the onkyo 605 and using the ps3 and hd d3 and havent seen the true HD signal yet....nor the dts HD. I have tried everything and all i get is direct or mulitchannel. Please someone tell me if its something im missing.
i cant figure out how to play dts hd sound on my tx-sr605 i have a new sony player that decodes all hd audio signals
