Unable to connect a blu ray dvd player to onkyo tx-sr605 via hdmi

    Let me clarify. I am able to connect the hdmi cables appropriately.
    What I am having problem with is the error message "Incompatible video input received"
    when the blu ray output goes to the receiver and the receiver connects to the TV (all via
    HDMI).
    When I directly connect the blu ray player to the TV everything is fine. This means there
    is some setting or incompatibility between the blu ray player and the receiver, and was looking for advice to help fix.
    Appreciate the responses in advance.

    I could not get to the DVD player Menu to try your suggestion.
    It's a samsung bd-d5700 blu ray player.
    Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

    Thanks for your help. Yes, it was a handshake problem.
    I turned off 24 fps and set the dvd output to 1080i and this worked.
    Appreciate you taking the time to respond and provide useful tips!

Not sure what unable to connect means..but I will assume you have the correct cable.

First make sure you have plugged the from the HDMI cable from the DVD play into the IN 1 HDMI port on the back of your Onkyo

On the Receiver
Enter the Setup mode
Select INPUT OUTPUT ASSIGN
Next make sure the HDMI monitor out is set to YES on the Receiver
Monitor out
HDMI Monitor - YES

Next you need to assign the HDMI INPUT to DVD
Select INPUT OUTPUT ASSIGN
HDMI INPUT
DVD - IN1
CBL/SAT - IN2

This may be your issue.

Next step would be to verify your television input settings.

Nice receiver!

Best of luck!

    Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.. out all day.

    I think your issue probably has more to do with the DVD player than the receiver.

    If you can get to the DVD player menu and it has a output setting..make sure it is set to "through".. so it will pass the signal straight through the Onkyo with no manipulation.
    On your next response.. include make and model of DVD player
    Hang in there!

    You have a handshake problem for sure.. the Onkyo you have is able to pass through any current format signal sent to it.. including 1080P..

    A few things worth trying.
    Turn on the receiver first then the DVD then the TV.. it may resolve minor handshake problems

    Cables. use decent quality and short.. doubt this is the issue

    Reply with you television model number.. and age.

    Some sets are not able to receive 1080P 24FPS.. it may automatically adjust or the DVD may be able to ajdust it's output when connected directly.. but the extra handshake with via the receiver may interfere with that process.. so you would need to turn off the 24fps or set the1080P to 1080i output on the DVD player. You could do this by connecting the DVD player directly to the tv via composite cables.. while leaving the HDMI cables in place.. this way you can see the menu options.

    Hang in there!

I have a Onkyo SR605. When I play a video via the DVD the screen splits and is very unstable. I have swapped DVD's so I am relatively certain that the problem is in the receiver.

I would try a new HDMI cable that has the gold plated ends for higher resolutions. Some of the older non-plated HDMI cables seem to have difficulty with higher res DVD's. This is applicable especially to Blu-rays vs plain DVD's.

Sony Blue Ray dvd player has stopped working when wired through the Onkyo receiver (works if HDMI wire is connected directly to tv). I have had the setup for 2 years and only use the dvd player a handfull...

Either the 1.8v or 3.3v line to the hdmi board main micro are low. it needs a modifcation. best to have it done at a onkyo approved service center. or take it to radio shack they do onkyo repair.

Sound won't play through Onkyo TX-SR605 when using HDMI

The chances are that you have selected an incorrect sound setting or not switched it on, for the HDMI you are using. With Onkyo receivers each connection will have it own settings for video and sound. You just need to look in the manual as to how to select the settings.

Onkyo605 stopped outputting Video after installing HDAV1.3 sound

If you didnt change any of the inputs going to the onkyo. I would check the input setup. I dont know what input you have your pc connected to on the onkyo, i'm guessing that your using a hdmi cable. make sure you have hdmi selected as your input type not component video or any other. That model doesnt upconvert anything to hdmi. Also some dvi-d to hdmi dont play well wih onkyo.
