help with Onkyo amplifier

hi guys, looking for some guidence.

 

this is for all you technically minded out there.

my missus bought me, to my surprise an AV amplifier for my christmas.

its an Onkyo TX-SR505E(s) heres a link http://www.richersounds.co.uk/showprodu ... XSR505-SIL

 

now i dont know the first thing about these , all i know is that she called up a few stores and they all reccomended this one for the set up i have, which is

46" samsung 1080p lcd

sky hd

xbox 360 (older version without the true hdmi connection)

DLO homedock for ipod

crappy dvd player at the moment

 

anyway when i connect them all up the sound is working fine but i cant get a picture on anything apart from the sky

in my mind you should only need a hdmi cable going to the tv but this dosnt seen to work (apart form the sky)

if you take all the video imputs and put them straight into the tv you can get it to work but this means switching the tv to get thepicture depending where you have inserted into the tv (av1/component/s-video ect) and then switching the amp to get the sound for which ever you have selected.

no this does my bollocks in cause surely the amp sould be capable of processing the picture from the back of its imputs up the hdmi cable and into the tv ?

 

i would really like some feedback for this if possible as i asked if i could take i back to get a PS3 and she was so frosty it snowed the next day :headhurt:

 

cheers Paul

It is possible the amp has an 'order' that it takes the signals and it may be that the HDMI is the one it will always use if it detects something. What do the wiring diagrams look like in the destructions?

How exactly are you cabling each of these up? There could be a number of things wrong, need to know what connections you have going from each bit of equipment to the amp :thumbs:

Could be your Sky box is getting priority even though it may not be on. Unplug it and see what happens
