Integra (Onkyo) DCA 9.4 standby light blinking with no sound for TV, DVR or DIRECTV. This equipment is working with Integra (Onkyo) DTC 9.4. I have turned off power and restarted but this does not help. It was working fine and then one day I turned the system on and had no sound for the TV. It still runs the sound for my home audio that is hooked with a separate Bose amplifier through Zone 2-so no problem in Zone 2 mode.

SOURCE: Onkyo 605 Reciever no sound from zone 2 RCAs

did the AS amp ever work properly from the RCA's?

SOURCE: No surround sound from my PS3 through the Onkyo 5100. Video OK

Unfortunately only the higher end Onkyo Reciever pass audio over HDMI for sound. 605,705,805,905 exc. Your reciever will carry Video over HDMI but you will need a digital optical cable for sound.



thanks.

Go to settings on PS3 and sound settings and set them to HDMI.

If the above did not work, try a auto reset, with unit connected. Hold the PS3 power button down and wait until you hear 2 beeps. The PS3 will automatically search your input/output channels.

SOURCE: No audio sound from HDMI connection from TV to Onkyo 606 amp.

if you go to the setup menu, hardware setup, hdmi, and turn the audio out: on it should work hope this helps

SMCCARTY,
The idea behind bi-wiring speakers is to get the highest quality of sound by getting the sound from two separate sources doing separate jobs. Lower frequencies are harder for an amplifier to produce than higher frequencies. So it is common to give these frequencies to two different amplifiers so each can produce the highest quality of sound. By removing the low end from the top end amplifier, it provides the top end amp more headroom thus reducing the chances of clipping. Clipping can easily be heard from the tweeters destoying not only the sound but your speakers as well. It is common practice in pro and car audio to use separate amps for subbass, low, mid and high; four amps working together to their corresponding drivers (more or less depending on the system and type of audio being produced).

In your case, getting the two different sources from basically the same amp (power supply), would not accomplish the full intent of bi-wiring; it would just make more wiring for the same end result. However still a good thought on your end. Onkyo receivers are great because of their beefy power supplies. Not very many other brands have such strong power supplies. Denon's are close but not equal.
