HK receiver settings

HuskerTRex

I am running a HK635 with Polk's all the way around. I have my HD/DVR cable box running to my receiver with optical cable. When I watch TV, I can never use "stereo" settings on receiver - does this have to do with using the optical cable? When I am on various digital or HD channels, my receiver changes to different dolby digital settings, but the other channels it "defaults" to some PL setting, and sometimes sounds funny - so I basically switch to logic7, since I can't use stereo modes. Just curious about my I can't select stereo mode? Sorry for the yada-yada-yada....

I don't know if you can lock onto just 1 type of output. I think that when a channel doesn't have a Dolby Digital signal to provide, the receiver is picking up the Dolby Pro logic II. I do know that you can choose default processing for the signals in your onscreen setup. I would start with the setup in the receiver. No need to change out the optical cable since you are getting sound, just try different settings in the setup.

I will give that a whirl.
Thanks!

Have you tried a direct setting? Not quite the same as stereo but similar.

I'm not familiar with HK but my onkyo has a direct setting. I would agree in checking out settings to see if it auto locks into best signal feed. So good luck

Try pushing the "Surround On/Off" on the remote and or the face of the receiver.

The problem MIGHT be because you are using the digital optical, instead of the L/R analog.

Logic 7 is a gift from the gods of Lexicon.
