Cinema Receiver
Connecting up an HDMI Home Cinema?
I have just bought an Onkyo TX-SR505E AV Receiver, Sony KDL40D3500 and a Sony RCD-HXD970 all with HDMI compatibility. The HXD970 is linked by HDMI to the input HDMI socket on the Onkyo with an HDMI out from the Onkyo to the TV. There is also a digital lead between the AV and the DVD recorder. I have connected the system as recommended in the various manuals but am having difficulty sorting out the sound from the TV to run thro' the AV. In order to do this it seems I must have the DVD on which then seems to take control so that I end up with sound from one TV program with a picture from another! I have spend ages working through the setup configuration on all 3 units but without success. Can anyone help?
If every component has HDMI outs. I would run only HDMI from all your source(s) to your Onkyo AV Receiver. Then connect the HDMI output from your Onkyo to the 3 HDMI inputs on your Sony LCD. There no real point in using optic cables since HDMI is suppose to be lossless sound quality. Extra cables will just make a bigger mess. They come in assorted colors too.
Too bad you didn't have a sony AV system. It would allow smart link to switch your components to the same HDMI channel with only 1 remote. Since the audio is with the video in the HDMI cable you shouldn't have that sound with the wrong video problem anymore.

The concept of free dish network services is a much debated terms among customers and potential customers as well. Consumers want to know what satellite TV providers mean when they say the dish TV services are free. The debate is borne of the simple logic that giving away something free in the commercial times that we live in is not only impossible for the providers but foolish of the customers of direct satellite TV to expect such a favor. Then why is it that we have the 'free' used freely on dish network portals? Are some services really free? Let's hunt out the answers!
Let us first find out what about dish network is actually free. You can get your satellite TV receiver installed for free. You can have your DVR upgraded to a better one when you buy dish TV services. This is free as well. If you move anywhere during the first 30 days of the installation of your satellite TV services, the providers will have it installed at your new home for free.
Other than these, there are certain free dish TV channels that come as bonus in the packages that you buy. The idea here is to allow you have a teaser of what's in store for you should you buy these dish network channels. These satellite TV channels are made available to you on a period basis and then taken off your screen when the time is over. You can resume the services of these direct satellite TV channels by paying for them.
In addition to these, there are other freebies attached to dish network services. There are gifts to be won and you can avail the assured gifts for free. Satellite TV portals ask you to fill up a form to claim your free gifts. Add discounts on dish TV deals and you have a long list of freebies on your direct satellite TV. These are all tangible free items that you can have from the providers. As for the other ones, you cannot measure them in units.
Dish network ensures your TV never gets a blackout. Satellite TV makes sure that you have the best sporting action from all the remote corners of the world, including certain games which have not been shown on the TV screen in the history of television. Dish TV movies get you the best of world cinema, something that you cannot get in the theater near you, unless you buy expensive DVDs. Even then you would not be able to cover so much ground as your direct satellite TV movie channels do for you. These are reasons enough why dish network portals can claim to offer you free services.
