Hi folks, need some help. I just connected my Sharp Aquos LED TV to my Onkyo TX-NR5010. I use a satellite receiver (Bell) for TV. Everything is setup I have A/V for the Bell but I cannot get any HD channels playing in 5.1 surround, not one. However, when I put on any channel other than HD programming I get my 5.1 audio. I have gone through the Onkyo menu options and looked at every menu and every option and nothing is standing out to me as a setting that I can change to correct the issue although there must be. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sorry, missed your response as to connection method. I am not sure as to the audio set-up config on the Sat recvr., however, is it set to digital/bitstream(AVR in same manner)and in HD, what is it showing on the front panel display of your AVR?

Everything connected via HDMI. When I put the Bell receiver on a non HD channel on the front of the AVR it shows the speakers including SBR/SBL surround back left/right. When I change it to an HD channel the SBL and SBR speakers disappear from the display on the AVR. It also switches from (non HD) ALL Ch Stereo to Dolby Digital when it switches to HD channels.

Once a digital connection is made, barring the odd exception, ALL audio from the Sat recvr., regardless of the channel and type, "should" be automatically coming forth in Dolby Digital 5.1 with those speakers showing lit up on the panel which would be normal and not the back surrounds, that is assuming you have both LRS and back LRS speakers. The addition of DPL11X would add in the back surrounds(7.1) in all programming. I do wonder at the change in audio especially when related to "all channel stereo" on non-hd channels since this surround option is usually only manually selected and not automatic, that is, unless, it is a quirk of your AVR, which even then, I have my doubts.

Any ideas? Thanks. Just to clarify, you have your Bell DVR hooked to the AVR and then from the AVR to the TV with hdmi. Have you looked in the setting for your Bell device to see if you can change the audio output settings. Also make sure you are indeed watching a program that is 5.1 .

Yes, HDMI from Bell to AVR, then HDMI from AVR to TV. I have 2 front, 1 center, and 2 rear surrounds and sub.
I have once again gone through all settings in the AVR and just cannot see what could be stopping it. On non HD channels I have SBR/SBL icons but as soon as I change to any HD content the disappear and a little red icon appears that is so small I cannot make out but seems like its an icon that shows something not working. If I put it on TMN (movie network) none of the movies play in surround in HD, so for example the latest Spiderman will not play in 5.1

have you tried what Socketman has suggested about the Bell device: "see if you can change the audio output settings"? that could be your answer.
