I am having problems connecting my cable-box (any other device) --> recieiver --> tv via hdmi out cables. just for the record, i used the following method cable-box --> reciever --> tv via component wires and it worked fine picture and sound. however when i make the connection via HDMI, i get no picture out on the TV, just sound through the recieiver. after doing some reading, the reciever i have can take any input wire (component, composite, hdmi) and still output it through HDMI to the TV. the problem i have is, when i make the HDMI connection from my recieiver OUT, and IN to the TV, the TV doesnt "automatically" detects a connection, as it usually does when i connect any input into the tv. my first suspicion is that the TV is not picking up the feed from the recieiver via HDMI. thanks in advance for any help and assistancE! |

Then turn on the other devices. But Casey may be right here --- the Onkyo may not automatically upconvert sources without some setup before hand. |

It was a little confusing but with some trial and error you will get there. Here is the link to the manual if anyone wants to help. http://onkyousa.com/searchResults.cfm |
