[Cross-posting on the Egreat NMTs thread]
I recently bought a brand new ONKYO HTIB (HT-S4505) and hooked up my Egreat R1-ii media player as video and audio source using HDMI cable. So ganito sya:
Egreat > HDMI OUT => HDMI cable => HDMI IN > Onkyo AVR
Onkyo AVR > HDMI OUT => HDMI cable => HDMI IN > LG plasma TV
I notice during playback of a movie file, the video and audio suddenly goes out for 1 second (minsan 2 or 3 seconds) tapos babalik uli. Sometimes, audio lang nawawala pero madalas video & audio. At first, I thought the problem was from the movie file kasi yung sudden blackout is from the same time (hh:mm:ss) which I confirm kapag nagre-rewind ako. Kaso, when I connect the Egreat directly to my TV via HDMI and then connect to Onkyo via optical... bale ganito:
Egreat > HDMI OUT => HDMI cable => HDMI IN > LG plasma TV
Egreat > OPTICAL OUT => optical cable => OPTICAL IN > Onkyo AVR
...wala naman problem yung playback. No sudden blackouts even in the same time (hh:mm:ss) in the same movie file.
I want to use the first connection setup sana (using HDMI all the way at wala nang optical cable) coz the Onkyo onscreen menus are only visible on the TV through HDMI... kaso the sudden blackouts are really annoying & parang nahihirapan pa yung AVR.
Is there some configuration that I need to set on the Onkyo AVR, Egreat, or maybe even the TV para maayos ito??
Hope you guys can help.... especially yung mga meron similar setup (i.e., Egreat NMT connected on Onkyo AVR)
Thanks in advance.
p.s. The Onkyo HTIB AVR model pala is HT-R558.
