Problem With Blu-ray player through receiver

[MR.MAGOO]

Suddenly my blu-ray player will not work when connected via HDMI through any HDMI port on my Yamaha RX-A1020 AVR. I see a 'no signal' error on the TV screen. When I plug the blu-ray player directly into any of the TV HDMI port no problem! (just can't get sound thru the AVR, have to use TV speakers)

Everything else connected via HDMI on the AVR (DVD player, VHS player, Cable TV box) works fine.

I have not changed anything, it was working fine Tuesday morning, came home that same night and bingo, stopped working.

Would a system reset on the RX-A1020 help, or is it time for a new AVR?

Thanks for any ideas!

The problem would appear to be with your blu-ray player and not you AVR. It looks as if the repeater architecture has failed on the player. I would try and reset the player.

This comes up all the time. Just because a device works connected to a TV and not an AVR does nor mean the device is OK. A TV is an and device and only requires one initial HDCP code hand shake. An AVR on the other hand receives and sends HDMI. In this case the peripheral device connected to any device that sends HDMI must pass continuous repeated handshakes between the two.

My suspicion is that the repeater part of the HDMI board in the player has failed. The other possibility is that an update was done to your player that is not HDCP code compliant. Is your BD player connected to the Internet, where a firmware update could have been performed? We had a case recently that was similar to yours, and was almost certainly caused by a non compliant firmware update.

I Reset the AVR, it works now.

The Blu Ray player does not have any HDMI repeater circuitry...
The only HDMI functions it has are handled by an on-board HDMI Tx chip. When the Blu Ray player(source) is connected to a display(sync) it handshakes and sends its audio & video capabilities to the display so they can connect properly. Whereas when the Blu Ray player is connected with an AVR via HDMI/HDCP , the Blu Ray player handshakes with AVR but inside the AVR the digital stream is extracted and decoded. Next the digital stream is re-encoded & encryption key is matched up and sent back out to the display with the same SW timing as the input stream had.

Just my $0.02...
