Hi all,

Just wondered if i had my onkyo 606 connected and setup right.

I have skyhd going into my onkyo via hdmi and optical ( so i can get dd 5.1). My ps3 just going via hdmi into the onkyo and finally all fed out to my pz85. I have my hdmi set to throught and my skyhd to 1080i. Am i getting the best out of my sky and onkyo?

Also id like my amp to automatically switch from sky to ps3 when i power them on but that doesnt seem to happen i have to change it manually. The tv is just defaulted to turn onto av which gives me my amp.

Try having your HD box to auto and then the Onk will upscale it to 1080p (I think).

Edit. The 606 only upscales to 1080i so you could see which is the better scaler, the HD box or the Onk.
 
Am i not right in thinking that the ps3 will the be upscaled as well?
 
should i have it on zoom as full or normal? is normal 720 and full 1080? also should by tv then see the signal as being 1080i?
 
Sorry, not too sure what you mean here? Do you mean the PS3's DVD upscaling? I have this set to Normal, but this just ensures it keeps the correct aspect ratio (as described here). Whether it's 720p / 1080i or 1080p is set under Display Settings and then Video Output Settings.
 
im not getting any upscaling from onkyo at all. anyone know what im doing wrong?
