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
