The Onkyo TX-SR508 is 3D ready and needs HDMI 1.4 cabels, maby that is the problem

@DanielLauge That doesn't help. Onkyo has said that a hardware reset can sometimes solve the problem.

Turn of the unit, press and hold VCR while turning back on. The receiver should say Clear in the display.

I have solved mine with a hdmi splitter.

I have a "fix" that removed it for me and that is placing an active hdmi splitter (maybe a hdmi switch can also be used) between the receiver and PS3.

I don't think Onkyo can or will fix it in any way. They would have to take back alot of receivers then.

set deepcolor ps3 off.

i have exactly the same problem with my new toshiba and ps3. its really annnoying. but its only when my ps3's settings are 1080p/i. when its 720p everything's alright. any ideas? ii tried it with other hdmi cables and other ports and other settings etc.

I'm having the same problem with the same receiver and an Xbox 360. Took it in for service and after 3 weeks all they did was update the firmware. This actually helped for a while. But recently the problem has resurfaced. For now, I'm sending the HDMI directly into the TV and using the optical audio going into the receiver. Tried calling Onkyo again and they told me that nearest "authorized" repair center was 3 hours away. What a crock!
