try to clear the error first. Plug the unit in and with the HDMI light flashing, press the power and the advanced surround button simultaneously and hold this combination for 5 seconds to clear the error.


Should this not clear the error, you will have to open up your receiver and see if there is any visual damage. replacing the short little HDMI cable connecting the front input board to the main HDMI board


I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers
