Please Help-No Video from HDMI

[Rossww]

I hope it's an easy answer, but I just hooked my new Pioneer Pro-1130HD Plasma to my new Pioneer VSX-74TXVi Receiver. I have an HDMI cable from my HD Cable box into the Receiver. Then I hooked up an HDMI cable from the receiver into the HDMI input (input #1) of the Plasma. I activated the HDMI input from the TV and I still don't have Video. However, the wierd thing is that I can see the receivers menu on the set up screen display from the receiver on the plasma, but just no video from the cable box. (I have audio) I've tried everything I can think of..any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Assuming the cable box is configured correctly to output over HDMI, I would bet that you have to assign the HDMI input on the receiver to one of the source selection buttons - just like you have to do for digital audio or component video.

Thanks for the response..but do you know how to do that? I'm a little slow..thanks again

I would download the manual and find the appropriate section for you, but I can't because you have to register on the Pioneer site to download manuals.

The manual should describe how to assign all inputs. It's going to be a setting somewhere in the setup menus for the receiver.

Thanks..I actually already did that and it says it's right. I was thinking I need to somehow assign the output? I just can't find how to do that anywhere.

out of order

The cable box i had supplied from my local cable provider had HDMI but it was not configured for use. Component was the only way. Even though it was there plane as day it would not work.

Congrats on your 1130 purchase!

Have you tried connecting directly to the display to make sure that works first? Do you have other HDMI devices to switch also? It would seem that you are getting OSD from the receiver, so maybe it's the cable box?

I think this came up in the AVS forum it has a extensive post on this AV unit. If your display does not support 480i you will not get osd since it is output only in that format.
You might want to check this out FYI.

This is frustrating...I hooked the cable directly to the Plasma and it worked fine. That means that it must be a receiver issue. I guess I need to keep pluggin away. thanks and any suggestions on how to turn on the HDMI output on the receiver is appreciated.

Sorry Ross I should have read your post more closely I thought you were getting pic but no OSD Menu. If you are getting the menu but no pic you might want to read through that link I gave you there are a lot of similar issues. I currently have the same Rec still in the box waiting on some speakers to hook it up to. Hope you get it worked out.

It may be an HDMI compliance issue with your cable box. Check this thread, Gene gives an explanation: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13423
