I have a Yamaha A1000, located in a rack which is across the room from my viewing position. I purchased a small LED TV and put it in my rack, so I could monitor operations (HTPC ripping, audio selections, settings, etc.) without having to turn on my TV. I connected the small TV to the Monitor Out outputs of the receiver (this is a component connection). The receiver puts out a signal to the main TV using HDMI.
So here's my question -- I thought the Monitor Out video signal would mirror anything going out through HDMI to the main TV. This works when I select CD or Net or HTPC as the source. But, when I select Cable or DVD as the source, the small TV only displays the standard music image (the inside of a grand piano), rather than live TV or whatever the DVD player is playing.
Any clues?
Thanks
