No Video And Cannot Get Home Screen To Show On Video Screen To Try And Reset.

System has been installed and working fine example for 3 years. Went to turn it on for a ball game and only got audio with Epson video projector indicating: "No Signal" on HDMI 1. Bypassed Sony receiver and video works fine. Tried to bring up Home screen with remote to reset as per instructions for Outputting HDMI signals on page 81 of manual but no video will appear on the screen. Have not reset yet to factory settings so as to not have to fully redo all settings. I did disconnect power and started it up again but still have same problem. Set for HDMI A and B out.

As per my previous post, you now know that you cannot connect your PC directly to your receiver, the reason being is that your receiver cannot output video from a PC directly. However this video shows you two ways in which you can still achieve the same end result.

Method 2 in this video will give best audio results although it will only be in Stereo (not surround) That said, your receiver can still make it sound much better than your PC speakers.

How to Connect laptop to Flat Screen TV and Surround Sound Receiver using VGA

Note!

This video shows how to connect using a VGA but you can use HDMI instead, you can still send the audio to your receiver as shown in the video.

Connect the RCA Audio lead to whatever available inputs you have. You don't have a PC input as shown in the video but that's OK, just use something else

Thanks
