PC In [Analog] input help in Onkyo TX-NR808

[rosahas]

Hi,

I have my Onkyo 808 hooked up to an old CRT TV (Sony KV-36FS16).

I currently have Component Video as well as S-Video connected. I can see my DVD player as well as my Cable box via both these connections. The receiver is also powering my Polk Audio system (5.1).

If I hookup one of my laptops via S-Video in via GAME input, it shows up just fine. But, I have had no luck trying to get my PC IN to show up properly on my TV.

I read through the manual and found some information around "Monitor Out" settings. I changed it from HDMI to Analog. That doesn't seem to do the trick. The resolution is set to "Through" and I have tried changing that to 480p etc. But, no luck. I can see a totally distorted image on my TV screen. I have a Window 7 box, that I wanted to hookup but have had no luck.

I was wondering if anyone could provide me some pointers on what I could try?

Thanks...

The PC input is only directed to one video output on the receiver, which is HDMI.

Because your TV has no HDMI, nor does it support any resolution beyond 480i, you cannot use the VGA connection with your television.

Nor will you have on-screen disply, but you probably realized that already. Everything is scaled up to HDMI so unfortunately there will be no output from the PC input other than the HDMI out connection.

?comprende?

Thanks. I figured.. but, there was one picture in the documentation that made me think that I might have a chance. It seems to show that if I change my Monitor Out to Analog, that might work.

It obviously doesn't!

Thanks.. again.
