I think this one is for the Onkyo wizards:

However I did find this 2 page hookup manual with nice notes at link listed below that may help you solve the mystery:
(seems you may have to assign the digital input)
http://filedepot.onkyousa.com/Files/QuickHookup/TX-SR606_QSS_En_A.pdf?CFID=918117&CFTOKEN=40624545&jsessionid=f0306ea8a0d68bb60a49102e3e5510576756
Assigning the Digital Input
If there’s no sound, you’ll need to assign the digital inputs as
necessary using the setup menus on the TX-SR606’s display.
If you connect your DVD player to the AV receiver’s COAXIAL 1
DIGITAL IN, and your cable/satellite receiver to the COAXIAL 2
DIGITAL IN, as shown, it’s not necessary to assign the digital input.
The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is
connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the composite video or S-Video MONITOR OUT, or the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the TX-SR606’s display when changing settings.
Thanks for using FixYa!

I read your second comment before I responded and then sent you what I had found about assigning the digital input.... i.e part of the hand shake process. I did not get any feedback on your digital assignment attempt. On hold for now....

3rd post asking if you assigned the digital input? Still no response and your question has gone back to the main menu multple times. You need to communicate with someone so we can hopefully solve your problem.

After digging it seems video processing this is a known problem with the 606. Take a look at what CNET had to say about it.

I don't think there is anything you can do about it other than a direct connection from component to your tv and then take the sound from TV to the 606.

Thanks to the suggestions here, I got mine working again.
I updated the firmware and after that, I'd get apx 2 sec of display and then nothing. I hooked up a standard video cable and voila, I could get the picture. I then went in and saw that the new firmware set the output back to 1080p. Since I have an old 1080i plasma display, this obviously didn't work. Corected the 1590 settings and it's good again.
Thanks!
For what its worth, I too had the same problem with the same setup (Samsung 1590 Blu-Ray - Onkyo TR606 - Samsung 52"A650). It got to the point where I ended up returning the Blu-Ray player to the store since the purpose of getting the Blue Ray was to route it through the Home theater system. A few weeks later I bought the same Blu-ray from another retailer because the price was too good to pass up and my old DVD player was starting to die on me. This time it works just fine. The only change I made was to run it through a different HDMI input port on the Onkyo and run the Firmware update that Samsung sent with the Blu-Ray player. I don't necessarily think it was all the 606's issue since I've also read about issues with the Samsung 1590 / 1600 handshaking.
Hi,
My cousin also have the same setup as you have (samsung P1590 + Onkyo TX-SR606 + samsung 52" LCD LN52A650) we tried different HDMI cables and still cannot display using onkyo on a higher resolution of 1080i. The only resolution capable using Onkyo is on 480p. We tried to research and found a forum saying "the bad side" of Onkyo TX-SR606 is it Downconverts 1080i component video signals to 720p when outputting over HDMI. 720p to 480p.. but were thinking why 1080i downconverts it to 480p.
Looks like a very highly discussed problem on the support forums on the internet. Looks like people have had problems connecting blue ray player via HDMI through the Onkyo 606.

I do have the Onkyo 606 and have had no problems with it, but so far have not used any Blue ray player.
An interesting comments in one of the posts on the above forum mentions
"I have the 606 setup to pass HDMI video "Through", and I have the P1500 setup to output 1080p at 24fps"
Looks like this setup works for the person who posted it.,
Worth a try - otherwise you might try calling Onkyo. They may have issued a firmware upgrade for the 606.

Both the AV Receiver and the Blue Ray player appear to both be working fine because I have tested each independently, it is just when I try to get them to work together. They are not making a proper "handshake". Is there a way on the Onkyo 606 to adjust the HDMI video from the Blue Ray player. It appears to do ok with 480p, however anything greater seems to be the issue.
Thanks for your comments. How can I change the pass through settings on the Onkyo 606? The only settings that I have been able to find are those where you assign the type of video input, ie HDMI, Component, or Digital. How can I change the resolution of the video that it is passing to the TV?
I finally figured out the problem. The video signal from the Samsung BD-P1590 was trying to pass to the Onkyo 606 at 1080p. I connected the Samsung directly to the TV and it worked fine. Went through set up menu on Samsung and changed video to 1080i and hooked back up to Onkyo and worked awesome. Onkyo must not be able to pass direct 1080p, the highest must be 1080i. Thank you to all who offered suggestions!
