Wii | Onkyo TX-SR706 | Panasonic TH 46 PZ800U Plazma
Originally, I connected the wii using the out-of-box composite cables to the Onkyo's GAME/TV input like this:
Wii > Composite > Onkyo > HDMI > Panasonic
This set-up works flawlessly [but I am only able to send a 480i signal through the ONKYO to the TV]
I then purchased the Wii COMPONENT cables and attempted the following connections:
Wii > COMPONENT > Onkyo > HDMI > Pansonic
This set up creates "signal loss" in the form of the screen going blank, the TV losing the signal, and eventually the screen turns blue. Interestingly enough, sometimes the signal is picked up again by the TV and I can play the Wii.
Some other things to note:
The signal loss occurs when navigating back and forth from the wii menu to either game discs AND/OR WiiWare.
The Onkyo does not have any COMPONENT Inputs for the Game/TV input setting -- therefore I must use COMPONENT INPUT 1 [DVD] and then use the onkyo SET UP menu to assign COMPONENT INPUT 1 [DVD] as the GAME/TV selection.
I have NOT tried to run COMPONENT cables from the Onkyo to the TV [I am trying to minimize the total number of cables running to the TV]
After messing with many settings on both the wii and the onkyo I have returned to the original configuration and the wii is working properly again.
Anyone else having this problem? Could it just be that I bought bad Wii COMPONENT cables? Is the onkyo at fault?
Let me know your thoughts! Thank you!
