Best connection HDMI for STR-DN850?

The online manual for STR-DN850 gives an overview of "devices with HDMI sockets connection." In this discussion, they use labels to HDMI input on the receiver (i.e., SAT/CATV, GAME, etc.).  But then, they say: "Note: this HDMI connection is an example."  You can connect each HDMI device to any HDMI input, including the HDMI input on the front panel".  It is a standard approach to connect HDMI devices to a receiver.

However, they will then say: "BD/DVD and CD/SACD input has better sound quality.  When you need better sound, connect your device to these jacks and select as input. »

It's really weird. CANY anyone (from Sony or a user) explain what that means?

I just got a new Apple TV and plugged into the HDMI CD/SACD input jack.  I was using a Roku XS system which was connected to the HDMI Video Jack.  The audio and video to the Apple TV are much better than what I got with the Roku - even using the same original material (Netfllix).  Now, the Apple TV can actually provide superior sound and video - but I was surprised by the magnitude of the difference and I wonder if the HDMI port, I used contributed to this difference.

I'm happy with the way in which the receiver treats the Apple TV - but it mystifies me why the HDMI port makes a difference.

If anyone can clarify this?

Hi Redfearn,

Ports BD/DVD and CD/SACD has better sound quality because these prioritized audio and video ports. Other ports such as CATV/SATV, GAME and video (MHL) a priority and used mainly for viewing only.

Thank you

    Its a great solution

  • Connection HDMI Wont

    Hi, I have a Hp Pavilion Dv6 and my OS is Windows Vista Home Premium(32bit). I've been on the web, trying to find an answer for so long and couldn't find a definitive answer. The best result I got he was trying on a different OS (I use Ubuntu). I connected HDMI and it would connect. I would then restart the computer with Windows, then it worked. But no more. It is not the cause of driver, I've just updated. Any help would be amazing. I want just a permanent solution.

    You know, I can't think a reason in the world where it's going to matter in the practical world; I can't say that she would never harm;  I used to write code and as SOON as someone made a statement like that, poof!  There it is.

    Good code never interferes with operations.

    It's filled with 32-bit code running on 64-bit computers - it cost a fortune filled to rewrite it to the 64-bit code and it will be faster on systems that could take advantage of the changes.

    Another oddity:

    When you upgrade, if you are upgrading to Windows 7 and Windows 8, take a look at the resource monitor and watch all the code of 'Vista' still running on the computer.

    Check if a process is running under a different context of the OS through application compatibility shims

    To see the context of the BONE and the ' 32 / 64-bit ' platform in the resource monitor:

    • Open the resource monitor (via the Task Manager) > click CPU so that it opens the list of CPUS >
    • Right click on the Ribbon to the top of the column, say next to 'Image', then the menu opens and you can add columns >
    • Add the columns 'Platform' and 'Operating system context'

    Short answer:

    If the computer is 64-bit,

    Don't worry about this.

    The computer doesn't care and can handle any type of program you throw at it.

    If the computer is 32-bit,

    You might encounter some restrictions,

    The computer will tell you when to worry about this.

    Happy computing!

    Oh, I think that your HDMI fix must 'stick '.  If this isn't the case, then it's a simple matter to start over and just do things in order.  The only way you could get into trouble is if you do not have a good surge protector or if you are not running a UPS where you should.

  • STR DN850 play any video

    I just bought a STR DN850 and connect my PC to TV receiver HDMI everything.

    If his: PC--> HDMI<--Reciever-->HDMI<>

    Stuff involved:

    STR-DN850

    HDMI to pc through Geforce GTX750

    5.1 surround speakers

    Windows 7 64 bit

    (all windows and video card drivers are up to date)

    When I connect the PC to the receiver via HDMI through the source from the outset, I am able to get a sound coming from the TV but no video. It's just a black screen. I know that his work because I can hear the chime of windows loading. I know that is not the HDMI cable because if I connect the PC to the TV directly, I get stereo TV sound and video. My main problem is... I want sound and video to go from my PC to the receiver and the TV so I can use my 5.1 speakers.  If I understand correctly... HDMI is supposed to be able to pass both audio and video through the receiver so Im stumped on a solution... Help, please!

    UPDATE!

    According to the guidelines of my previous post, you know now that you can not connect your PC directly to your receiver, the reason is that your receiver can not video output from a PC directly. However, this video shows you two ways in which you can still get the same end result.

    Method 2 in this video will give better result although it won't in stereo (no dressing) that said, your receiver may still make it sound much better than your speakers in PC.

    Note!

    This video shows how to connect using a VGA, but you can use HDMI instead, you can always send the audio to your receiver, as shown in the video.

  • Connection HDMI Iconia A700 problems

    Inherited an A700 Iconia Tab.

    4.1.1 Android

    Kernel + 3.1.10

    I have unsuccessfully to connect the tablet to a TV.

    Two different TVs that have no problem with my laptop do not recognize the tablet.

    Have tried 2 HDMI cables different, $4 and $30 Rocketfish cheapy.

    Have tried every combination I can think as the unit that is lit first, when cable plugged in fact etc..

    No joy.

    Downloaded manual waste, time user.

    Is there something I'm missing, tweaks I have not found or...

    Love to get this working before the new season of Game of Thrones!

    TIA

    Fix! If you do not see an indication of the "connected HDMI" in the bottom corner, or anywhere on the screen, this would indicate that the HDMI port is not working. This would require service and you can contact technical support in your region for the service.

  • AirPlay has stopped working after several months of STR DN850

    My Sony STR DN850 has worked perfectly with AirPlay for 8 months. When you use iTunes on my iMac or my Mackbook pro, I just need to play a song, and my receiver turns on and play the song. Now the small speaker selection box at the top of the window of my iTunes isn't even - probably because iTunes is not picking up an Airplay compatible device. I use Mac OS on Mac 10.9.5.

    Here is what I tried:

    1. check if I need a firmware update for my DN850 STR (I have not).

    2. repair permissions on Mac played.

    3. disconnect and restart the cable modem, router, Macs and DN850 STR. I have them all at the same time, reboot in order the cable modem, router, DN850 STR, and Macs.

    I don't see how something that worked perfectly for 8 months can suddenly stop working. I can't help thinking that there is a simple solution here, and I'm going to go for not realizing it. However, for now, I'm stuck and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's official: I'm a fool. I went through all the steps above again and this time it worked! I suspect that restarting the network was the culprit.

  • Connected HDMI but no active video

    I have a Dell desktop running Windows 8 and a flat screen tv.  I use a cable vga w / audio for watching tv via the computer, but want to use a HDMI cable instead.

    When I connect the HDMI cable, all I get is a black screen with a bar of icons at the bottom of the screen.  If I indicate an icon, the mini screen will show what it is, but I can't get the full version of the screen to show on the HDMI input #, but when I go back to the vga input #, it got there.

    The Control Panel does not recognize the second connection (HDMI), just the vga.

  • How to the best Setup project for export to many formats

    I'm about to start editing a wedding video but just realized I intend for the video to be viewed on many different media and display types. I wonder what the best way is to configure my project to be able to export all the different formats and to get the best possible quality for each of the formats? The video source is AVCHD 1080i (1920 x 1080 60 frames per second interlaced) I wish that my final project in all of the following formats (all 16:9):

    Blu - ray 1080i60

    Blu - ray 720 p 60

    1080 p 30 (for playback on projector connected to the computer)

    DVD NTSC (I think to 480 p or should I use 480i?)

    DVD PAL (576i or 576 p?)

    Should what format I configure my project? How then would export to other formats? How to deal with interlaced to progressive conversion? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Use the format that fits your video... so the formats of all your AVCHD export full which is 1920 x 1080, are the same resolution or less... they can be exported from your project. You can deal with the export formats progressive in deinterlacing the video on the timeline and using the Progressive 'None,' option accessed from the advanced options in the export field window.

  • Best settings (channel) for AE Gen3, for Time Warner cable?

    Best settings (channel) for AE Gen3, for Time Warner cable?

    Sorry, but it is impossible to tell without having information about all the other networks wireless around you and the channels they use.

    But even if you have had this information, all other wireless routers are changing the channels they use all the time... so even if you come with a 'better' channel to use this morning, this channel could be overcrowded this afternoon.

    When you start your AirPort Extreme, it will automatically scan to find the best channel to use both.  If you are in an area with many other networks wireless around you, it may be necessary to restart the AirPort Extreme almost every day.

    If you have $15 or so to invest for a good WiFi utility... and you are willing to spend a lot of time all the time in looking at other wireless network around you... it is possible to do things the really hard way.  Post back if you might be interested by this.

  • The best energy savings for the Satellite Pro 6100 for me?

    My method of cooling is always set to maximum performance in power savings settings and my Intel SpeedStep Technology is set to Perfomance. I read on the net that the cooling method should be set to SP and SS Intel technology must be set to auto, but I'm not sure about this. I guess I'd like some clarification on this.

    I leave my laptop on for quite long periods. What do you think is the best energy savings for me to use?

    Thank you

    Hi Rachel,

    Options to save energy of your choice will depend largely using mains or battery power.

    To use AC I should leave things as you have now, which is a maximum cooling Performance and graphics.

    For use of the battery I set the Intel on automatic and lower cooling affecting something which you give an adequate return, but this will depend very much the type of applications that you are running.

    Kind regards
