Sony NX713 and Onkyo receiver - hdmi connection problem

I have a Sony NX713 46" Tv and an Onkyo receiver. The Sony will not recognise the Hdmi connection to my Panasonic Blu ray player. I have added optical which is fine, but is it true hd sound?

Hi

I'm slightly confused by your submission. You say the Sony TV doesn't recognise the HDMI connection from the Blu-ray player, and then talk about the sound. The sound connection should be going to your Onkyo receiver, not to the TV.

Let's assume you are using 3D on the TV, and that your Onkyo receiver supports 3D signals. If so, then you would connect HDMI from the Blu-ray into the Onkyo receiver, and then from the Onkyo receiver to the TV. Something like this:



This will send sound and picture to the Onkyo.

If the Onkyo doesn't support 3D signals, then from the Blu-ray player you can send one HDMI to the TV for 3D pictures, and another HDMI to the Onkyo for sound (assuming you have a new Panasonic 3D Blu-ray player which has two HDMI outputs).

If you have to use the optical connection into the Onkyo for sound, then you will get 5.1 surround sound but it won't be HD audio.

All the best.
