A great feeling, ain't it? :handgestures-thumbup:bscene-drinkingcheers:
I feel like I have a pretty big learning curve with calibration and setting choices with this AV Receiver. First one, so I guess it is to be expected.
Made some progress last night.... :angry-banghead:

The settings are really easy and the Onkyo OSD menu is is as easy to navigate as I have seen.
The OSD is great, however the challenging thing here is....................
When the receiver detects a Dolby Digital 5.1 Input, what mode should be chosen. THX Cinema; THX Music; Dolby Digital............etc????
I also notice that when a new signal is received it shows a brief dialog as Norm with a dB Setting? I did not see reference to what the receiver is doing at this point.
All in all very happy with the Onkyo, not really sure if I understand the basic and advance settings.
I have turn off all of the video processing and will not use the Internet Capabilities at all in the near future, was just looking for a good Pre/Pro.
One other annoyance.......I have a Onkyo Stereo Receiver in the same area that must be on the same remote frequency. So when I turn one on, the other comes on also, do any of you here know of a solution for this???

Each of the THX modes does slightly different things to the output. The Cinema mode is supposed to simulate a big theater space. The Music mode is supposed to simulate a concert hall. Try each and see if you prefer one or the other in different situations. Personally, I prefer to leave a DD signal alone and use the DD output mode.

I find it easiest to leave the processor in DD (Dolby Digital) mode and it takes care of everything else. If it receives a stereo signal, it automatically uses Dolby Pro logic to simulate 5.1, etc. That is how my Pioneer Elite works.
Lookin' Good Heeman! :bow-blue:

I had a similar problem when I had Dish network. My neighbor had Dish installed and his UHF remote was changing my receiver too! :angry-cussingblack:
I called Dish and we changed my settings on my receiver and solved the problem. Maybe call Onkyo and see if something like this is possible?
