confused blu ray player not showing up

[Steven11788]

Ok. have not really needed to mess with my setup in about a year. my tv is the 85 inch sony 4k x950d. my receiver is not dobly vision, sofor my 4k I have to run my audio to the receiver and my video to the tv with 2x hdmi cords. ok all is well and I am happy. I finally moved my region free player to my movie room with the above setup. I did like I did with all my old setups, Plug hdmi into the receiver under hdmi 2. turn tv on and line up everything up. Nothing, my tv says no signal check receiver. I am thinking since I had to run my 4k dolby player like that, will I have to do for blu ray since thats how it goes. I have been setting up and movie receivers for years and never had a problem. always plug and play with hdmi. any help. I feel I am some what knowledgeable but this has me for a loop

If you haven't done so already, check the hdmi connection between your receiver and TV. Perhaps it came loose when you were hooking up your player.

Are you splitting the 4K player's video? or are you using the player's audio only (if it has one) output to go to the receiver?
Are you sending any video to the TV from the AVR? if you are there wouldn't be any need to split the signal (as it doesn't output Dolby Vision), just plug the AVR's output into your TV and plug the region free player into the AVR.

Post your AVR model no.

Ok connections are tight.
thats what I am saying I know I dont need to split the bluray player since no need for vision. so yea it should be essentially plug and play. I have yet to check and see if hdmi cord is faulty. that just arose in my mind. I will check that but yes. I should be able to just put the hdmi into the avr and it run threw that and show picture and sound

You're receiving video from the AVR's menu?
You may have to check the input options on the AVR, to see that that output (perhaps you're using DVD shortcut on the remote?), hasn't defaulted to component video or something similar.

Can you write down what's plugged into what inputs and your AVR model no?

[Steven11788]

AVR--STRdn1050
hdmi 1 from tv to hdmi 1 on receiver
audio hdmi on 4k player to bluray hdmi on receiver
picture hdmi from player to tv under hdmi3. its says hdmi3/arc on tv when i go to input
I am pretty sure thats how I always had it but I started fiddling with them when I was trying to add the region free player in to hdmi 2 to game in recover( I dont own game consol. so the only thing plugged into receiver is 2x players and tv

Turn everything on, if "No Signal detected" pops up, leave the tv and Blu Ray player on, but turn off the receiver. Turn the receiver back on. See if that helps. My older Onkyo sometimes has handshake issues when switching between various components. Turning the receiver off and then on with everything else on will help re-sync the connection and determine if that is the issue.

If that doesn't help, try running the picture HDMI port of your player to input port 2 on your tv instead. The fact that you're trying to pass HDMI audio from your player to your receiver while also hooking up the picture HDMI cord from your player to the ARC port on the tv may be causing both the tv and player to be sending mixed signals to the receiver resulting in signal confusion as to which source to use.

Your 4K players audio output should go to the the AVR's HDMI IN BD/DVD.
Your 4K player's HDMI video output should go to HDMI 1 on the TV.
Your region free player should go to HDMI IN Video 1 (although it can go in GAME if you want) of the AVR.
Your AVR's HDMI OUT OUT A ARC into your TV's HDMI 3 ARC (if that's the ARC input).

thank you to both. I unhooked all cords. hooked them back up exactly they way Chip said. it worked. so in my distress, I think I made a dumb mistake. also hooked the region free up. and there is a 3 second delay switching, but everything works now.
thank you so much for all the help guys

Glad you got it sorted, mate.
