Using a stereo amp for movies

lucid said:
The manual says that the ARC functions the same way as your Beam i.e. the sound from HDMI sources to your TV gets passed to the TX-L20D. There are a couple of things to check. First, your TV is ARC compatible; which given what you said about the Beam should certainly be the case. Second, that HDMI CEC (HDMI control) is switched on in both the TV and the Onkyo. The default value is OFF with the Onkyo out of the box.

HDMI CEC should also fix the lip sync issue with the Panny. Make sure CEC / VieraLink is enabled in the Panny too.

Did you check - or did someone who made the recommendation say - that the set had Dolby Vision?

Nobody recommended the onkyo I picked it myself. But I primarily hoping to have the same easy setup as discussed via hdmi arc as Sonos. I would only use the Xbox one x in the onkyo at push as all my other devices do DV .

I’ve just tried doing optical from tv to the optical on the onkyo and using The panny as normal ....hdmi from player to tv.. The sound issue is fixed... although this is a slight faff as I’m now using yet another remote for sound.

i’ll retry The hdmi arc with settings you suggested Lucid... Although how do I change my other devices ? Apple TV being one of them.
 
Odd....... I had all the settings suggest on before.. turned it all off and back on and all my devices work. Well tv via by box and 4K do . As do builtin tv apps.

nit tried Apple TV or Xbox yet as I need more plug sockets lol.
 
Well.... It's working..... But it might be a millisecond. But I'm conscious of the sound is front of the tv. Weather its the fact I've got to get used to a new device I'm unsure.

Bass is another matter. I can't crank it up as I have a wood floor and live at home. Can't go to far from the basic low setting without it affecting how I can frank the volume up.

Ah the joys of working out a new system
 
Well... the onkyo is a real pain.. lost lip sync again so it’s going back. Getting the denon pma600.

So I now need a hdmi switch box that does 4k hdr+dv.

Any suggestions?

what sources do you see the loss of sync with ?
all of them internal freeview tuner, and 4k player etc. or, is just the sound delay on one source is always wrong, so can't you adjust that ?


(if you are now buying, again, from Amazon, or even RS, how will you avoid needing another potential future return too)

It was on everything.. It was out when I first installed it... fixed itself ... and then went out again... I’m not faffing about on settings to get it right.. it should either work or not.
 
...... I would have stuck with the sonos lol....

OK picked up a denon rcd m41dab without speakers. For £160

Has a sub preout and 2 optical inputs.

The sub seems to be getting voices out of it ... Now I remember having this back in the very early days of my entire in subs.

Also... It's way to loud when using the sub.. I practically have to turn the sub off.

I like the unit tho so will keep for future projects. Might looked the new Sony Soundbar with dolby atmos... Or still get the marantz av amp.

You live and learn lol.... I hope
 
Bit of an update.... After a lot of umming and ahhing I've decided to go back to a Soundbar.

Ordered the new Sony HT-G700 3.1 . It just about fits the top shelf on my Av rack.
