Hi
I have the 3300 for abt 3 months, but the sound is not sharp (treble/Bass +10db) FM sounds OK but DVD/Turntable just flat sound, are my inputs not up to the mark? or do I need to do some settings, I find the manual very complicated, any suggestions?

Hope you have connected the speakers correctly to the Receiver. Then Speaker "A" should be selected in the Receiver.

First Reset the receiver to its factory settings.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down VCR/DVR, press ON/ STANDBY. Clear will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.

Then turn off Audyssey. Its ON by default.

On remote press RECEIVER followed by SETUP.
Scroll to "Audio Adjust" and select it.
Then scroll to "Audyssey". Set it to OFF.

I am struggling with getting proper digital output from my Samsung LED TV which has got built in media player. I play DD and DTS encoded mkv's and avi's through it. It's manual says it supports all of the popular formats of video and audio (including AAC and DTS). I use optical out from the TV for digital audio but still not getting the proper surround sound. Could someone please throw some light how to fix this.

TV Model: Samsung LED TV - UA37C5000QM
HTS: Onkyo HT-S3400

Thanks in advance...

It must be under the "Audio" settings on TV. Something which says like "Digital output"
With the absence of an online manual (which I totally fail to understand why) its very difficult to pin point the exact place where the setting would be. Only you who has the hard copy of the manual or people with the same or similar model can tell you.

i am not able to reset my onkyo 3300 to factory defaults by pressing and holding VCR/DVR button and than pressing the on/Stand by, nothing happens.

what should i do?

Change some settings, like turning OFF Audyssey, changing the bass/treble. Then try resetting. Do bass/treble go back to zero, is Audyssey turned ON ?

Audyssey is off,

by the way few days back it got rested by itself when i was attaching my lapy to it.

now there is a minor problem, i have connected
WD player to 3300 via HDMI(BD DVD)
TS HD to 3300 via coax for audio(CBL/SAT)
TS HD to pana TV via HDMI(HDMI 1 Tv input)
3300 to TV vias HDMI(HDMI 2 Tv input)

now whenever i switch from CBL/SAT to BD/DVD i also have to select HDMI 2 in TV this is fine but when i switch back to CBL/SAT and select HDMI 2 , what i get is blue screen and in AVR BD/DVD is automatically selected again. and i have to against select CBL/SAT form AVR to see TS,

now i m getting pissed off by doing that again and again, i tried to sort this out by turning HDMI control off in AVR settings but nothing happpned, this problem was not there before when i have only using AVR for audio inputs and connected TV directly to TS and WD player.

what i need to do?
now i m quite pissed off doing that again again

Audyssey is off,

Hmmm...I think you are doing something wrong.

TS HD to 3300 via coax for audio(CBL/SAT)
TS HD to pana TV via HDMI(HDMI 1 Tv input)
3300 to TV vias HDMI(HDMI 2 Tv input)

I don't understand your rationale for such connections.
I would have done the following:

TS HD(HDMI OUT) --HDMI--> (HDMI IN)HT-S3300
HT-S3300(HDMI OUT) --HDMI--> (HDMI IN)TV

 

[borg]

in TSHD you cannot get dolby 5.1 through hdmi , that is why coax is needed

as already relayed by "Borg" u dont get DD out of TS with HDMI

There must be some HDMI control setting in the TV too which is set to ON. Turn that OFF too.

You could also try this, although doesn't make sense in your problem, never hurts though:
Deselect all other HDMI input, except for WD Player in the HDMI settings of the AVR. Set (---) in all the other HDMI selections except BD/DVD.

have only selected HDMI in BD/DVD in AVR settings, have to check for HDMI control settings in TV too, but i m not sure that their will be these type of settings in TV.

I am using Tata Sky HD+ with 3300 and I get DD sound when I am viewing HD channels.
There is a significant difference between the sound of SD channels and HD channels; since SD is stereo and HD is true 5.1 /7.1 audio.

My connections are as follows:
TSHD+ <----HDMI----> 3300
Sony BluRay Player <-----HDMI----> 3300
3300 (HDMI Out) <----------HDMI------> (HDMI In) Sony Bravia

When I installed the system 2 weeks back; I thought I would need a coax for sound but I tried with single HDMI cable and it worked.

Thats good for you, but until know it was not possible to get DD sound thru HDMI from Tata Sky HD or HD+.

have you done some specific settings or upgraded your software of Tata Sky to get DD sound.

No specific settings for TS as well as AVR. The stock rig works fine.
Have you tried with HDMI cable only?
