Hello,


Has any one replaced their receiver (with a new DTS-HD HDMI 1.4 compatible receiver) lately to make it work with a Panasonic AX100? I tried the Denon 1611 and have no video signal. Even the setup menu doesn't display on my projector screen! I did a lot of research and many people seem to think this is a HDMI handshake issue (since the Denon uses HDMI 1.4 and Panny 1.2). Does any one have any first-hand experience with HDMI 1.4 compatible receivers working with AX100? It doesn't have to be a Denon; I am just looking for a mid-range or economic receiver I can use with my AX100. Focus being ability of the receiver to decode DTS-HD.


Any help / pointers would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks,


Bhushan

Look throught the manual. HDMI is backwards compatible. You may have a setting such as dep color (i.e 10 or 12 bit video) set that the projector does not work with.


Or the cable could be to long for a good signal. If you have a very short say 3ft cable try that and then if that does not work read the manuals for both and make sure settings are set so you both the same.


I do not have your items, but these are basic steps that can make anybodies system not work properly.

Rovingtraveler is correct that the HDMI 1.4 of the Denon is backwards compatible. And it's a very good idea to check the Denon's settings to make sure it isn't using something like deep color that the AX100 doesn't support. However, many early HDMI-equipped displays and sources had issues with repeater devices such as receivers, and that may be the case with your PJ. Have you searched here for a user's thread on the AX100? Any such thread may give you some answers.

Thanks a lot, Rovingtravler. I will check the settings. Cable is about 15-20'; but I am using it for last 3 years without any issues (when I connect DVD player / Blu Ray player to the PJ).

Thanks a lot, Rolls-Royce. I will check the settings. I have already posted the same query on AX100 thread.

Blakhe,


even though it worked priously, you want rule out the cable by trying another preferably 3 ft on. Error checking is basically done by eliminately anything that could be a factor.


good luck.

Hmm. I just searched for AX100 threads, and the largest one has thousands of posts. The most recent post in that thread, on 06/18/11, was from someone having the same issue-with a different Denon receiver. Perhaps Denon's HDMI implementation isn't as robust as it should be.

Well, I went to Radio Shack and got a powered HDMI extender - didn't help much! I get the sound now; but still only flickers of picture :-( I will send this receiver back and probably try a Sony instead.....


Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks a lot for looking! Probably, I put the query in a wrong thread.... although, at this point, I will just send the receiver back and try a Sony!
