Question: Question for Sony 920 and PS3 owners I'm considering purchasing both of these units in the near future and I've read that the PS3 wont upconvert regular DVDs to 1080i/p. So my question is for people that own both of these, since the 920 receiver upconverts everything to 1080p will it then upconvert regular DVDs that I play on the PS3?
Document: I needed a relatively inexpensive AV receiver with at least 3 HDMI inputs and able to send *all* inputs through the HDMI output to the TV. Onkyo TX-SR606 was the only other receiver I was able to find that met these specs, and since I have an Onkyo, I wanted to stay with that brand. The catch was that the Onkyo would upconvert non-HDMI inputs to 1080i. This Sony upconverts to 1080p. That was pretty much the only thing that swayed me.
HDMI is not up-converted but composite is. I REALLY liked using the microphone to set up the sound. Some people say the manual is hard to read but its not that bad in my opinion. There is a lot in there though so a couple of readings does help.Bottom line- I like it a lot.UPDATE - 9/11/2009I now have aLG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Playerin place of the old Sony DVD. I'm using HDMI and letting the LG upconvert.
I have been shopping for a receiver for quite some time, ordered Onkyo 606 but then canceled it due to back-order. Sony DG920 is the closest one compares to Onkyo 606 within my budget range. Hook up was fairly easy and I did not read the manual at all since everything is on screen UI mode.
I have the Sony KP-65XBR10W Projection TV which is a 1080i capable CRT widescreen. The biggest fault with this TV is that it only has one HD Component input. After recently purchasing a PS3 for Blu Ray viewing I was in need of either a component switcher or a new AV receiver. I opted for a new receiver so that I could simply run one component cable to my HD component input and all other components are hooked up to this receiver.
The Onkyo was about the same price, though it only upsamples to 1080i instead of 1080p, but the IR receiver is placed normally, so actually works. Plus the volume starts at 0 and goes up from there. =)The Onkyo has some of the same setup issues as the Sony, though it seemed like I had a lot less trouble setting it up. Perhaps because I practiced on the Sony. So far I'm liking the Onkyo.
My 1080i tv is a bit older (56") and only has DVI in. So my plan was to get the 920, bring all components into it with HDMI (DirecTV, PS3, Sony DVD changer for non-bluray) and then go to the TV with the HDMI to DVI adapter. Nice and clean, no mess of cables behind the rack.
There's some problem with converting from 1080i to 1080p (not sure if it's even supported but I just gave it a try anyway), screen would show lines and flashes randomly, while converting from 480p or 720p worked as expected.For those who wants this receiver for video up-conversion, I'd say try PS3 or maybe looking into receivers with Reon chip if your budget allows.
It was so easy I don't know what most of the knobs do since I never had to mess with them. The auto-calibrate mic roughed in my system 85% and within minutes I had the remanng 15% tweaked. Movies in standard Dolby Digital and Dolby-HD play flawlessly.Not sure I understand the negative number concept on the master volume. Maybe I'm old school but Volume = 0 should be total silence, not rocking loud.
I hate cable clutter. so i had to then run optical audio from the PS3 and directv box to the 920 and coax audio from the dvd changer to the ps3 and go associate everything in the 920 config. The one support person told me I'd have to use component video cables too, which was not true.So I have cable clutter again after spending ALL this money for a new system! I was (still am) very upset.
I have HDMI output to my Samsung 52" LCD TV, and I've used all 4 HDMI inputs for my PS3, Xbox360, Digital Cable PVR, and a 4th connection that goes in-wall all the way to my computer desk (a total of 35 feet worth of HDMI cabling for this one). No signal problems whatsoever from any of the inputs, including a 1080p PS3 test on my 35 feet connection. Absolutely no degradation in image quality.
Answer: If you only have DVI on your cable box forget using a DVI/HDMI cable to hook up your system. Use a Component Video cable directly from your cable box to your TV and an Optical Audio cable from your cable box to your 920. You will have less problems with video and get just as good if not better picture quality than with DVI.There are handshake problems with DVI. You also have to hook DVI to a specific HDMI port on most HDTV's. You shouldn't hook DVI to HDMI cables through an HDMI equipped AV-Receiver/AMP.You should hook your DVD, Blu-ray, HD-DVD, PS3 and other similar players by HDMI cable to your AV-Receiver/AMP. If you have a PS3 or other Blu-ray disk player hook this to the AV-Receiver/AMP HDMI port marked BD or Blu-ray disk player. Sony has optimized this AMP port for Blu-ray disk.You will have a single HDMI cable from the AV-Receiver/AMP to your HDTV.I have HD cable boxes, that only have DVI versus HDMI, hooked to a 61 inch DLP HDTV and a 40 inch LCD HDTV and I have Component Video cables from the Cable Box to the HDTV's on both. The picture on both HDTV's is excellent.I also tried using DVI to HDMI cables between the Cable Box and HDTV. Sometimes the picture would not look right on the screen when first turned on among other problems.I would prefer a cable box with HDMI. However, there isn't really a need for HDMI from the Cable Box because you only get 1080i from Cable.Some cable boxes do have HDMI ports but you still only get 1080i from the Cable Company.The AT&T; U-Verse HDTV system supplies a box that has an HDMI port but it doesn't work! AT&T; is connecting their U-Verse boxes to HDTV's with Component Video cables.
