UPDATE:

So today I was bored and wanted to play a game (about 90min ago) so I go to play and it does this whole thing again as I’m used to. But it takes longer. It still hasn’t showed up on screen.
So I swapped the HDMI w/ another one to see if that could’ve been the issue, and no fix. I swapped the HDMI to another input, like the one my cable box (which still shows up instantly) uses, and no dice. I swapped the cable box cable to the input I had my PS3 using, and it showed up instantly. So could it be that it’s my PS3 AND X-Box 360 that’s the issue? OR could it still be a resistor/capacitor in the receiver that’s causing this?
Keep in midn that it only does this with the video game systems, and not the cable box. I don’t know if the signal is any different, but I’d assume not since it’s all being sent over an HDMI cable.

I know my Toshiba 32" takes longer to turn on/switch inputs (30-45 seconds) than my Vizio 22" or Sharp 42" tvs do(~5sec), but nowhere near that long. I hope this was helpful, because I have no idea.

Well my TV only has a single input right now from the receiver. It goes 3 HDMI into receiver input, and then receiver output to TV. I think it’d rule out the TV as a variable considering the input to the TV is a constant, and not all receiver inputs act the same way. If that makes sense.

Richest fucking guy I know is asking a bunch of people who live at home with their parents about shit.

Go buy some new shit ya cheap fuck. And buy a kitchen table while your at it.

I got me a kitchen table, nogga.

Gotta stay rich = not spending money to diagnose errything.

Hippos.
Go dere.

From what I’ve read, check and see if the outputs of the PS3/Xbox/whatever are set to the native resolution of the TV. Onkyo apparently had some switching issues in 606 series receivers but maybe your 960 has one too.

Just bought a new receiver last night, so I’m prolly gonna do something with this once the new one gets here.

Take receiver out of equation? I breezed through, but didn’t read everything in detail. I don’t even use mine anymore. Everything is right into the TV. Just use the optical out on the TV and you’re good. If you want the surround. My optical out goes to a set of Turtle Beach X41’s now. Watch movies, play games, and not bother anyone else.

So I ordered a new receiver last week (Yamaha RX-V573) and it just arrived and I quickly hooked everything up. I started my PS3, got the receiver to the right channels and the PS3 menu instantly was on the screen. I’m effing happy as hell about that.

Also: I have an Onkyo 7.1 receiver for sale to anyone interested. WORKS PERFECTLY ABNORMAL!
