home theater not upconverting?


I have a 26" 720p Dynex HDTV (BestBuy.com) and a SC-PT600 Home Theater. It has automatic upconverting DVD player in it. It is connected to my TV via HDMI. The upconverting DVD player upconverts to up to 1080p. Well on my TV ever time i change the input on the tv it shows how many pixels its broadcasting.

Example: when i turn my xbox on and in the top right hand corner it has a little box that displays: Xbox 360
720p
So how do i change my home theater to broadcast in 720p?

when i turn it to the input on my tv for my home theater it displays in the top right hand corner: Home Theater
480p

how do i make it say 720p?

sorry for the long detail thing but im just trying to get everything straight.

questions?

Does your Home Theatre actually output video in High Definition or does it only support standard definition?

Can't find the specs for your Home Theatre system on the internet!

The Xbox 360 can be connected to the TV with HDMI and then using the official audio adapter that came with the official HDMI cable, you can connect optical audio to your home theatre and let that deal with the 5.1 surround sound (rather than use the stereo sound that is fed through HDMI - your TV volume should be switched off so sound runs through the speakers of your home theatre).

Description

If you’re looking for a future-ready receiver-and-speaker package that won’t break the bank, your search may be over. Meet Onkyo’s 5.1-channel HT-S3300—a system packed with so much advanced technology that it redefines entry-level home theater. As with every A/V receiver in Onkyo’s 2010 line-up, you get the latest iteration of HDMI—version 1.4. Three HDMI inputs let you hook up, say, your Blu-ray player, game console, and cable/satellite box—all of which can be output via a single cable to your connected high-res display. Not only is HDMI 1.4 compatible with next-generation 3D video, it also enables a convenient Audio Return Channel. On top of this, the HT-S3300 supports lossless HD audio formats from Dolby and DTS—previously the domain of mid-range to high-end receivers only. But that’s not all. The HT-S3300 also provides an overlaid On-Screen Display function for easy adjustment of settings; a Universal Port for one-cable connection of peripherals; Audyssey equalization; four gaming audio modes; and a fully immersive, beautifully balanced 5.1-channel speaker set.

**Note from Klipsch: We are aware of and have addressed the trouble with the DVD player portion of our Klipsch CS-500 2.1 Home Theater system. We recently (MAR-10) upgraded the DVD portion of the CS-500 to a much more robust and reliable mechanism (this includes units currently in-stock at Amazon). After recognizing the failure rate of the CS-500's DVD section was not up to Klipsch standards, we implemented this upgrade at the factory-level.** Sleek, simple, and small the Klipsch CS-500 2.1 home theater system puts the ultimate cinema experience right into your living room with fewer wires and less components. By way of Dolby Virtual Speaker technology, this amazing compact setup delivers the effect of a large, 5.1 home theater system with just two satellites, a subwoofer, and an A/V center. Each magnetically shielded CS-500 satellite speaker employs dual 2.5" high-output woofers and a 0.75" horn-loaded tweeter. Our exclusive Tractrix(R) Horn technology is what allows this home theater system to deliver genuine lifelike sound as well as produce more output using less energy. The down-firing subwoofer utilizes a powerful 6.5" woofer. The A/V center features a built-in Class D amplifier that distributes 35 watts of power to each satellite speaker and 100 watts of power to the subwoofer. It also includes Dolby Virtual Speaker technology along with a progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner, and three auxiliary inputs. The CS-500 home theater system even has the ability to pass high-definition signals through a component output and can simplify all of the auxiliary input connections into a single convenient output to the TV. An easy-to-use universal IR remote control directs all system functions as well as those of the TV and other entertainment devices.
