Re: Onkyo AV Confusion
As far as I'm aware, Richer Sounds man is right - the HDMI connection on the 506 can't handle audio, so you'd need to use a separate cable (optical for example) to do the sound duties.

If it's HD sound (TrueHD, DTS-MA) you're after via HDMI, then the 605 or 606 would indeed be the way to go.
