I recently installed an LG OLED65C7P and in addition sprung for a new Receiver.
I had a Yamaha RX-471 which served my LG 3D display just fine, but I wanted to move to a receiver that had the 4k and HDR passthrough...as my display is far away from my components - I also need to rely on the HDMI switching within the receiver.
I am running Apple 4K, Dish Hopper 3 (4K), and Sony - UBP-X800 BluRay player.
I decided based on my past experience to purchase another Yamaha and went with the Yamaha RX-V681BL. It was a breeze to setup and it worked flawlessly - for the first 2 days. After the first 2 days, whenever I would switch from Dish to Apple, or between any of the incoming components - I would not get the HDMI indicator on the front display - and nothing was showing up on the display. Occasionally there would be sound but never video...and this was 2 days later! I unhooked all the components and went direct from each component to the display and perfect picture...so I assumed the HDMI board went and I returned it.
I am now onto an Onkyo TX-NR575. I have sound, and picture, however I am noticing when switching between Dish and Apple TV, I have to enable the Apple TV switch on the receiver 2 or 3 times before the HMDI handshake between the receiver and Apple TV is solid. Sometimes it does not even complete the handshake? I have swapped out the HDMI cable between the Apple TV and receiver and it seems to happen on both cables. Cables are Certified High Speed ( the newest is a Certified Premium Ultra Slim High Speed HDMI Cable, HDR, 36AWG from Monoprice and the first was an Ultra Slim 18Gbps Active High Speed HDMI Cable also from Monoprice).
Do I have another situation on my hand where the HDMI switching on the receiver just sucks?
Should I be looking at a new receiver? and If so which one?
Looking currently at the Denon AVRX2400H or the Yamaha Aventage RX-A670BL......
What are my next steps?
