Hi, sorry about the repost. Maybe I posted at the wrong forum (newbie here). Let me try again under "Receiver" chat site.



Here are the equipments I have: Sony S360 Blu-ray player, Sony Grand Wega TV (5 yrs old with DVI connection), and Onkyo HT-S9100 HTIB.


Direct connection from HDMI to DVI (S360 Blu-ray to TV) -> no problem there.


S360 Blu-ray (HDMI) to Onkyo receiver (HDMI) to TV (DVI) -> audio ok, but no picture.


The Onkyo receiver has on-screen menu control which can be displayed on TV. This works ok. I can see all the Onkyo receiver menus on TV thru HDMI to DVI connection. However, there is no image coming from the Blu-ray player when there is this Onkyo receiver sits in between.


How likely that the Onkyo receiver has a bad HDMI output port? If this output is bad, I shouldn't be able to see any on-screen menu. The HDMI to DVI cable should be ok, cuz it works fine when I connect S360 to the TV directly without Onkyo receiver in between.


Many thanks in advance.

question: has it ever worked with an hdmi input to the avr and a dvi output to the tv?


sounds like the avr doesn't want to complete a hdcp handshake with the tv...

Not all equipment plays nice when connecting HDMI to DVI.

Sounds like your Onkyo receiver has the same problem as most Sony receivers, e.g. don't like DVI TV at all. In the case of Sony receivers, it is clearly spelled out in the manual (don't support DVI TVs).

Maybe it's a resolution setting? Check and see if your AVR is set to pass-through the Blu-Ray image at 1080p, when your tv is only capable of displaying up to 1080i. Change it to output at a lower resolution if it is (or just set the Blu-Ray player to output at a lower resolution.)

Are you certain the AVR is setup correctly to output the video of the BD player???


Changing the output to 1080i is another idea but if the picture works connected directly I doubt that is the problem...Worth checking out regardless...
