Onkyo 605 Setup help

waywreth · 03-20-2008, 12:11 PM

Appreciate some help with trying to connect my Wii to the system.

I connect the Wii to the back ports marked "Game/TV" with the Red/White/Yellow cables.

I then select "game/tv" as the device on the remote, but I can only hear the Wii, and don't get a picture. I tried to set "game/tv" to IN1, IN2, and IN3, but none of them make a difference. Any ideas?

Current setup:
DVD > HDMI > Onkyo 605
Cable box/DVR > HDMI > Onkyo 605
Onkyo 605 > HDMI > TV

Wii > Component cables (red/white, yellow) > Onkyo 605

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HDMI Monitor is "on" (otherwise I get no picture).

You have to connect a yellow (composite) connector from the Onkyo to the TV.

Actually, all you need is the the HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV.

I did figure out the issue though, and if anyone else runs into it - make sure the digital connections aren't using the same ports. I disabled all the digital inputs that weren't in use, and that fixed the problem. One of them was set on the same as the Wii.
