What are the settings settings affected by power off? Settings should not loose on power off. If the problem continues to show, call the service center.
Onkyo 3500 ; Set up for beginners
- Thread starter virtueso
- Start date
sir i want to know what settings should i put in crossover , surround right, suur left , front right , front left, plz tell whatever you use is best gives effect
sir how to choose dts neo i cannot find it plz tell step by step pleasethe only problem the 3500 is that when the mains are turned off it looses all settings. So whenever i switch it on i have to tweak settings every time. This could be an issue with first time users so one should get used to it asap
@ amd20 choose dts neo for best surround effects. It won't work if "speaker b" is turned on.
On the remote, press 'receiver' , then press sp a/b untill only 'A' is selected (see display on the AVR) . Then press movie/tv on the remote untill it cycles through the various presets and u will find Neo 6.
DD will be switched automatically by the avr when you are playing content that is encoded in DD. Normal SD content won't.

Did you see if the settings stay same after powering it down? I'm buying "high Speed HDMI OSSI (Onkyo) cables. These are Rs. 600 and not 1.4 but i don't need 1.4. Well to my surprise when i play FLAC files the dts OR dolby is displayed on the AV. SOme other things i've noticed which are bit odd or maybe i have to know more about this stuff.
Settings are the same, they did not get reset. You should call the guy, maybe he will just troubleshoot it on the phone.
What else are you finding odd?
Edit ; I did not know what flac was until comment ^^.. now i wonder how i ever lived without it! So much difference ! its really excellent.
P.s: how do you get dd while playing flac audio? i put the song on a usb and the avr read it directly. 47hz and 1090kbps. Sound was definitely better than mp3(obviously) but i couldn't see dd in the presets or anywhere else. Also, dts comes only when i select the neo6 preset. Is that what you meant in the comment? Unlike dd, which comes on automatically when i play hd video content/ps3/x360.

Yup, the settings reset in case of a power failure not if i "shutdown" AV properly 
I played it through ASUS O Play mini off a 1TB USB HDD, yet to try the USB on the AV. Will try more stuff and update, just got internal wiring done for rear speakers so will try different stuff.
The Onkyo cables are 1.4, the Onkyo guy said the cable doesnot say it is 1.4 just says high speed lol he was not aware.

Or maybe we are missing some settings 'coz DVD Rips are compressed too but they sound fine. BDrips have DTS and shiz and should ideally sound better. Some of them sound stunning some sound real dud.:sad:

I have connected ASUS player to the AV through HDMI. The ASUS also has an optical out. If i connect the player directly to the TV (HDMI for video) and for use optical or analogue for audio to the AV make a difference to the overall quality? Just wondering...
I have tried playing video directly on my tv via usb, and also through my laptop via hdmi from laptop to avr. Sound is below sub-standard
For the same content, the difference might be barely noticable. But if you have an optical out from tv,and an hdmi through your player, the avr automatically prefers and selects hdmi.
The difference should only be distinguishable when content is 7.1 or 5.1 true HD as i guess optical cant carry thee signals

I guess if you play video from a usb drive directly connected to your TV you are not sending audio signal to the AVR so the sound will be sub-standard? However it should not be the case when a laptop is connected using HDMI to the AVR

When usb directly plays on tv, the sound is sent via optical to avr.
When i play hd content on the tv also via usb, the avr receives and plays dd
Tv's usb player is pretty good, it plays mkv mp4 all formats ..

So your TV an an optical out? Which model is it? Either ways we're not getting satisfactory audio in BDRips and i guess BD rips have much more high quality audio just like video so we should experience better video (which we are) along with frigging better audio.
