I have installed it and it is working great. However I am not getting the bass from the subwoofer. I have it connected to the DVD player, set top box, WD Live. All connected to Samsung 42" LCD T.V. Except for the WD player others do not have HDMI connection. I am not also able to get the onscreen menu from the Amp. Am I missing something? Do I need to have HDMI cable from the amp to the T.V to get the onscreen menu. I am not sure how to tweak the performance from the remote to get the desired result. Where do I look for the audyssey audio processing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably your Subwoofer is set to "OFF"
Yes
Everything is there in the manual. Read it.....all your queries will be answered.
Thank you for the update. I had it connected through HDMI cable and through onscreen menu tweaked the subwoofer performance. Yes, as you said it was set to `OFF' position. Well when I connected it through the WD Live the sub was rocking and started to move around. I have kept a mat underneath the sub to stop it from moving. This is simply a superb HTIB for an entry level system.

You don't need to connect it to TV to see any extra menu item. Everything can be seen on the AVR display itself. The menu just looks good on TV, that's all.
Audyssey makes the bass boomy. Its ON by default. Turn it OFF. May be you will like it.

Need help with DVD player. I earlier had Philips HTS 3107 HTIB. since I bought Onkyo 3300 I tried to play the dvd through the philips dvd player connected with onkyo 3300 AVR. This dvd player also has an amp inside and has very basic connections (No HDMI or Optical connections). I was able to get the video but there was problem connecting audio through the audio cables as the output sound did not come through. I tried connecting it through another DVD player but the output audio was not good and the auto detection of Dolby or DTS did not happen in the AVR.
I would be buying a BD player sometime later. However, if I need to buy a cheap DVD player in the range of 4k can someone please suggest which DVD player would best suit the 3300.
Thanks,

purchased 3300 for 23K today. Thanks to madhan for his assistance.. got it connected and was just playing with it.. sounds awesome.. however I have a small problem.. Initially I belive it showed "Dolby" symbol when I played a Blu ray disc... but later( I assume, after changing some settings,) I donot see that Dolby symbol for BD player.. it shows only PCM.. I am not sure whether the receiver receives the Dolby sound via the HDMI cable.. can anybody help?

Yes the receiver receives all types of signal upto HD audio through HDMI.
Most probably you have changed some setting in the BD player where its processing the audio (like downscaling it).

You will get the signal if hdmi passthru feature is there in 3300.. if you have that feature then you will get both audio and video in stand by mode.
Purchase a 1kva for complete HT in reality it gives only 640 or some Watts.. Incase you add more components it is good.
Read about stabilizer related threads in this forum before you purchase.
Friends please help, which would be a cheap dvd player for 4k that I could buy. Do I need to look anything spefic in the dvd player before I buy it. I am concerned because couple of DVD players I tried did not auto detect DTS or Dolby in the 3300 avr. It would be helpful if I knew which one to buy rather than bying something and regretting later if there is any compatability issue.
Go for sony or samsung with HDMI out ,one coaxial,componentout, one usb port,u will get free HDMI calbe with Sony .I bought one last year for around 5k
3300, Mine was 40 days old , was working fine untill today just tried to open today( with coaxial in from digi cable reciver ) and as soon as switched on, heard big krrrrrrrr along sound, tried to lower the volume but fail, from receiver as well as remote, but numbers do changes . tried everything else possible like changing speakers cable, switchinh on off, from setup tried other stuff too 
. at the end gave a call to service centre, they gave me local number 2 contact (srinivas) being sunday he picked the phone but told to file the complain 2morro morning 11 am n later he will send some techinician, so so far CC is fine, will update 2morro rest of the stuff. i suspect something might have got short circuit inside sadly 
update:i called them this morning after talking on phone the guy told our technician will not able to do much after coming to your home. he told me to bring receiver to their place n if its minor problem i can have that in 24hr or else they have to call engg from Chennai n it will take days,fingers cross

So its been a while since I got my 3300 and I am loving every bit of it!!!
I have seen Expendables, Toy Story, Inception, The Dark Knight, How To train Your Dragon so far on my system and all of these looked(and sounded) great!!
But I have one quibble. All of these movies were blu-ray rips(mkv) but I only got a pcm feed in my avr. No dolby digital 5.1. Only DTS. Has anyone out here tried BD rips and got DD 5.1 or a superior audio feed on their systems?

I use my dell studio 15 laptop to play these rips. I connect it to my avr by hdmi and the avr is connected to my lcd via hdmi too.
Just start one of your rips on any player(vlc, gom etc) and the avr would then automatically identify the source and output audio.Any other setup u did to get the voice ? coz I only see pictureno voice
