You have to use Component Video on this unit. HDMI will not "Handshake" and pass thru. This was HDMI's first version "1.1a" and there is no fix. Use your receiver to switch audio via Coaxial or optical then use HDMI directly from BLURAY etc to your TV. The downside to this is how many HDMI inputs your TV has. It's an awesome receiver! Don't blame Yamaha!!! This issue is directly attributable to "HDMI" and their race to shelves before truly field testing the product. The current version of HDMI is 1.3b and soon to be 1.4 which includes ethernet capabilities.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news! If you would like an "in depth" look into the world of HDMI issues, Google HDMI problems or HDMI forums, and you can read for hours. Hope this helps

Sounds like a speaker wire is shorting out, check there are no breaks and/or positive and negative terminals on the amp and speakers are the right way around

If it is plugged in to a working outlet, and the AC cord is not broken, there is a problem in the power supply of the receiver. This provides all of the DC voltages that make all functions work. If it is completely dead, the display, the lights, the audio, (everything) is not working; and it is not likely there are separate problems in all of these areas at the same time.

Must be connected to an audio OUTPUT. There are probably preamp inputs and outputs. Sounds a little strange, but signal (sound) must travel OUT of the Yamaha, IN to the EQ to be processed, OUT of the EQ, IN to the external amp to make it big enough to drive speakers, and OUT of the amp to the speakers.

you need to get a satellite receiver compatible with your stereo to hook up to that connection

Hi, Try replacing the HDMI cable. My Guess is that you have a bad cable connection or connector. If there is excessive heat on cable connectors this could be bad. Cooling fan or other heat source Good luck.

I did a quick search for the specs on that receiver but did not come up with an easy answer. AS with all devices you connect and Apple TV to, it MUST support AT LEAST 720P minimum and have an HDMI port.

I have a Phillips wacs streamline . Screen has frozen on " starting up please wait" any advice to get working welcome :-)
