I've run into a strange problem. We got my sister a new LG 49" 4K TV for Christmas. We connected it to her Onkyo HT-R2295 receiver via HDMI and lost all audio. As long as the HDMI cable is not connected to the TV everything on the Onkyo works, two DVD players both play audio, the AM and FM radio works, everything is fine. As soon as the HDMI cable is connected to the TV however all audio stops, the DVD players, the AM and FM, everything. Pull the HDMI cable out of the TV and the audio comes back. Connect it back to the TV and silence. Is there some kind of compatibility issue between the Onkyo's older HDMI and the HDMI in the new 4K TV? I don't even know what version of HDMI the Onkyo has, the manual doesn't mention it, it just says "HDMI", not HDMI and then some version following it which leads me to believe it may be first generation. Btw, video is not a problem, both DVD players are connected to the Onkyo via HDMI and that video does get to the TV no problem. The audio also gets to the TV, the TV speakers play, we just don't get any audio to the speakers connected to the Onkyo. Apparently everything worked fine when the Onkyo was connected to the old TV by HDMI.
Any ideas?
