Question about Onkyo HT-S780 System

Broken Fiber Cable

Had to disconnect my system in moving and one of my monster cables snapped in optical one. There seems to be a piece of the cable still stuck in there and I cant use optical one. Is there anyway to get this out short of taking the receiver in for repair? I only need 2 optical connections. Im getting great sur. sound from movies from dvd on opt #2 but no surr sound from my HD dvr. Help?

Sometimes when the optical fiber breaks you can remove it by sicking in a small pin on the opisiste (inside of reciver)side of the connector. If no good then its gonna need to be replaced and if your no electronic fi-git then leave this to the pros. Good Luck

Does not recognize optical digital

I know this sounds insulting, but I made this mistake. When you buy an optical cable, it has a protective piece over both ends to keep the cable from getting damaged in transit. I worried for hours that my receiver was broken because the cable wasn't putting through a signal. if it si new cable, it'll have this protective piece, too.

On the column shift lever does not accuate transmission shift when moved.

its probably a gigantic piece of ****, just like my f350, ford used a cable style shifter and a retarted lever system in the steering colum. when i opened my colum, i found about 3 lbs of aluminum dust from what used to be the shifter lever inside the colum housing the slop in the lever caused the shift cable to travel too far and snapped it so i replaced it just to have the cable snap again. i guess im going to have to change the entire colum.

Red, Green and Blue cables together typically denotes a component video signal - an Analog, High Definition transportation for video. This cable does not carry audio, you need another cable to hook up audio between the DVR and receiver. You can use either an RCA stereo cable (red and white), optical-audio, HDMI, or a whole plethora of other audio cables. I would recommend optical or HDMI to get the most out of your system.

JVC TH-C60 DBS stopped working

When you say the "TV side" you really mean the Cable or Satellite Box audio, right? There's no digital optical connection intended for the physical TV.

I hope you're not really looking directly into the cable with your naked eye. A safer way to visually check for the presence of red laser is to hold a thin piece of white paper up against the cable and observe the spot.

With your remaining good eye, look INdirectly or hold a thin piece of white paper in front of the the optical port on the JVC to see if there is a visible red glow. Most likely the cable itself is the problem. Make sure it has large open loops rather than tight bends throughout its routing.

Easy problem. Check your clutch fluid (it is most likely low) master cylinder on the front of the gearbox most likely has failed, causing you to try and put it in gear, but then you broke the shifter cable. Easy fix.

Hdmi connector causes picture freeze

Hello,

The problems with HDMI are plentiful. They are still hashing out the standards for it, and every company seems to be doing their own thing. The compatibility issues are never ending, and you may be a victim.

It sounds like the Blu-Ray and the TV are having compatibility issues. You can try changing resolution settings inside the Blu-Ray to see if it helps. If not, you might be stuck using Component cables. LG televisions are not the most well-constructed or designed tv's in the world, so if the optical output is not working, your Digital Board might have an issue, as well. Any competent TV repair shop should be able to assist you in troubleshooting and repair, if necessary.

I hope this helps you.

Optical Audio

The digital cables should always be used if your whole system allows for it. Generally you have to go through the setup procedure on whatever brand of receiver/ amplifier you own. You didn't mention a brand or model and it doesn't matter. The advice would be the same. Read the owner's manual on how to do this. Digital inputs, such as optical or SPDIF ( the little single RCA plug that also says digital) can usually be set to default ( always on) or may have to be selected manually, each time, depending on the setup procedure. Try both analog and digital. If one sounds better ( it will be very subtle) that generally means the converters in that piece of equipment are better by some degree. Rule of thumb is to use digital between pieces of gear, whenever possible, if only for less noise, caused by RF emission pickup. And please don't buy the overpriced "Gucci" digital or analog cables, like Monster at retail pricing, no matter what **** , the salesman may spout. It's similar to joining Scientology- if you believe unsubstantiated psuedo-science crap people tell you.... you will probably get what you deserve.
