Hi,
I am the proud owner of a new Onkyo 606 - and all is going very well, apart from one thing. I have my Sky HD box connected using HDMI and an Optical cable. The Sky box has been setup to output Dolby Digital over the Optical cable.
The problem is with the Onkyo . . . when I go into the HDMI configuration screen, I set "CBL/SAT" to use HDMI3. Then in the Optical Input config screen I set "CBL/SAT" to use OPT1. However, the Onkyo seems to be ignoring (or overriding) the Optical setting and is drawing audio from the HDMI cable instead (which means no 5.1).
I can confirm this because if I set "CBL/SAT" to use an empty HDMI slot I get neither picture nor sound - I would expect the sound to still work if it was coming via Optical. Also if I change the HDMI settings to make "CBL/SAT" use HDMI2 it will automatically change "OPT1" to "HDMI2" in the digital audio input section.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
