Problem with Yamaha HTR6090 and Sony BDP-S300 - Blu-ray Forum

drumbeater · 08-26-2007, 10:11 PM

I am having a problem with my Yamaha recognizing the HDMI connection to my BDP. It worked fine last night, but today it will not. If I run the cable to the TV from the BDP it works fine. But through the receiver it does not.
I eliminated possible bad cables, bad plugs, etc. It has to be something in the setup of my receiver, but I can't figure it out. All of the DTS/PCM/Dolby stuff is new to me and I don't know where to start.

Some more info.

S-video sends signal to TV fine. Optical Audio passes through fine. Yamaha says its because I'm using a Gefen HDMI booster with CAT5 cables. But that setup works find with my cable box, and it works fine if I bypass the receiver and plug the Blue-ray hdmi cable directly into the Gefen booster.

Yamaha tech said I may be losing bandwidth through the Yamaha HDMI switch. Not the kind of thing I would tell a customer.

I tried every format 480, 720, 1080, auto, and no HDMI connection recognized by reciever. The HDMI light on the blue-ray does light up, just not on the Yamaha.

Still working for a solution. I can't figure out why it worked in the first hour, then quit the next day.

stupid, but have you tried unhooking the power and replugging?

maybe somehow the hdmi was turned off. try running the setup over another connectiong (s-video?) and seeing if you can do that.

maybe the hdmi is mapped to the wrong input?

cant think of anything else at the moment.

Maybe, the STB is working fine because it's not passing HDCP where your BD player is. That might be the issue. If the HDCP is weakened by the Cat5 (not a great way to pass a HD signal anyway), then the Yamaha might be blocking it. Another idea is that the HDMI connection has been yanked or tugged or even pushed in too hard with the cable and it breaks the HDMI connection on the circuit board. That's actually fairly common.
