onkyo hts 3300

Yeah, when i physically turn it to one direction and hold it there.....it works.
I had turned it off yesterday night and disconnected the power.

About to power it on and see if it is working normally or not.
 
Nah, no luck. The problem is still there :(

Called up the dealer and asked him to send a technician to come and check what is going on with the receiver......

Has anyone else faced a similar problem? I tried googling but that didn't turn up with any answers.

What a bummer :(
 
It can all be but a faulty cable at work. Try and see if you can get another HDMI cable. Assuming that when you turn the AVR to right the cable and HDMI socket somehow get a better contact point and your connection starts working. Also try using any of the other 2 HDMI ports on AVR instead of the one that you are using now.

I had a problem with a loose HDMI connection between my WDTV Live and Onkyo and a new wire did the trick.
 
Thanks for the tip, actually i did that.....borrowed a cable from friend and now it is working just fine.

For now i have replaced the faulty cable with another one, so far so good.

Any ideas as to where i can get a cheap HDMi cable that can support Deep Colour? 1 to 1.5m length would do just fine for my current setup.

Cheers :)
 
when i try to test (with tone) 5.1 setup with my pc the left and right rear surrounds appear reversed, although in the onkyo level cal setup menu it appears fine

anybody else experience this?

Edit: i saw a post regarding firmware update for this issue in this thread , anybody done that?

Adding to the comment above....
Part of the review by an amazon user :
"Some have inquired about the subwoofer which is passive (not self powered) and also about active subwoofers. The passive subwoofer supplied with the 3300 is, in my opinion, plenty strong. I did a bit more research into this and there appears to be a 50/50 split. I reviewed opinions etc., and weeding out the comments that try to be expert but only provide one line responses it appears that there are pluses and minuses for each. Again, it is subjective and boils down to your personal preference. I also called Onkyo tech support to inquire about future upgrades for the 3300 and the pleasant gentleman responded that if I wanted to upgrade the subwoofer I would probably need to purchase a new system. I am ok with that because he also reminded me this an entry level system. Entry level or not, the 3300 is plenty powerful for my needs but please share your comments to help others decide on possibly the 3300, 5300 or other type system. Try not to get too caught up in the ongoing, neverending debate. Go with what you like...not matter what your ears will love you for it. ":clapping:

Heres the link for his entire take:
Amazon.com: Sketch "Supremesketch"'s review of Onkyo HT-S3300 5.1-Channel Home Theater Re...

And morover i have even heard some people on this forum pointing out that the 3300's passive sub outperforms some yamaha active sub :cool:. As you have mentioned a 12 ft viewing distance the passive sub will be more than enough, that is unless ur a bass freak and you dont have unfriendly neighbours. TC Cheers!!

Very Good precise conclusion. Reading this whole post for informed comments / comparisons like these. Otherwise more reading = More confusion.
Thanks a Lot:clapping:
 
Any one else interested in the Delhi/ NCR Group Buy? I think the best Price I would be able to get is 22.5K. The only glitch is, since billing will be in Delhi, it won't be transported to Gurgaon, Noida. However, the sales guy has agreed to send a Onkyo Engineer to help in the installation and Demo.

PM me your details and we can discuss more in picking up the item.
 
Good news for you guys. Dude do you really need an installation? I think installing the set-up is fun and i always do it myself!:)

Snorkel4u,

One alert, an earlier group buy for Onkyo 3300 was busted when Nikhil tried to wrestle a better price with group buy. Reason they were mentioning a bit too much detail on where, how and the amount in which they were getting the deal. While I wish you and others all the best for a group buy, still would suggest you get every one to PM these details rather than putting it up on the forum.

Some points:
1. Do not mention the dealer name or source online in the forum only use PMs.
2. Try avoid even mentioning the city and exact price.

Dealers are also on the forum and they are earlier known to take actions against anyone who tries to bring the prices down. I do not blame them, they are in this trade to make decent money - so lets not confront them, but play smart.

Again Best Wishes! Hope to hear of your setup pretty soon :clapping:
 
Just saved in nick of time. Thanks jsanand. I've resorted to PMs. No more discussion about the price/ dealer location on the forum.
 
Also interested in the Group buy. I am in Noida. Can pick up the system myself. Kindly PM me the details.

I am not able to spot 3300 on any store in Noida or Indrapuram.
 
Need some advice from 3300 owners here.

is any one aware of a 3300 or 5300 purchased from USA and brought to India?
Does it have any issues? in the Sub or the receiver (of course no damage during shipping)?

The only difference I could think of the is the need of a step down transformer needed in India to support the high voltage range.

Any other issues than that?

Please advice!
 
I need some help with my HTS 3300 from the team.

The clutter of wires look very ugly in front of the beautiful Panasonic 42V20D TV, HT and furnished place to hold the former.

1. How do I manage these wires?
2. Is there any device with which I can make the rear speakers wireless? (Pointers with approx prices would be much appreciated.)
3. The Sub sometimes dances a bit due to which sound gets distorted. Should I place it on a mat or place some weight on top of it?

I tried playing around with the settings on my HT, I must admit I am a minority here who find the audessey settings pretty useful. It takes the sound field to a different level IMO. A big :thumbsup:for 3300 over 3305.
 
Answer to the third question - Yes..place a mat beneath the sub. It helps stop the sub from dancing and you dont get the jarring effect. Turn ex bass off. Did u get a demo from Onkyo ? In my case after they set up the audio settings on the amp..the sound was much more acceptable...
