ONKYO TX-NR905

Hi all!

Got a question for 905 owners. I was going through the setup menu when I came across the PICTURE QUALITY options. Here is how to get in the setup menu that I am talking about:

- INPUT/OUTPUT ASSIGN

- 6. PICTURE QUALITY

Once you get to the PICTURE QUALITY sub menu, there are 5 options to make changes. Below are the 5 options:

- PICTURE MODE: AUTO, VIDEO, FILM

- EDGE ENHANCEMENT: OFF / HIGH

- MOSQUITO NR: OFF / HIGH

- RANDOM NR: OFF / HIGH

- BLOCK NR: ON / OFF

I would like to know what is the best setting because I got my blu-ray player hooked up to this receiver via HDMI. Right now, I have the PICTURE MODE to AUTO selection. Everything else below that is all on OFF selection. I am not sure if I want to mess around with those options. I figured I should let the blu-ray player do all the work and leave the settings on the 905 alone. Too much settings on the receiver and the blu-ray player can make the picture quality worse.

But I would like to know your opinion on these settings. I just wanted to get the best picture quality when watching blu-ray movies and regular DVD movies. Right now, watching regular DVD movies looks terrible! It's all grainy and fuzzy.

Thanks for any advice!!!!!

On my Onkyo Pro PR-SC885P (which uses the same Reon processor as the 905 I believe), I bypass the video processing entirely when watching blu-ray or HD DVD. I think the picture is better that way, but it may depend on the quality of the processing in your BD player and your TV.

For regular DVD and cable, I engage the video processing
with the following settings:

Picture mode: Auto
Edge Enhancement: Off
Mosquito NR: Medium
Random NR: Medium
Block NR: Off

These are the settings recommended on the Integra 9.8 forum on AudioAsylum. You should check that thread out for further info.

As always, you should try different settings and see what you like best.
