Typically a/v recievers have on/off settings for each sound mode. This is likely the cause.

I have revisted this question and I *think* you are talking about a "speaker selector". A speaker selector is a unit that prevents an amp or receiver from going into safe mode or shutting down.

When you say "Traditional Cables", are you referring to the red, white, and yellow cables?

Once you connected those from Cd/DVD to the receiver, did you then connect another yellow cable from the "monitor out" on the receiver, to an input on your television?

This is generally the step that people forget about.

The back of your receiver should have a "monitor" or "tv" output on it. You need to connect another yellow cable from *it* to an input on your TV, then turn your TV to that specific input.

That should do the trick.

It is a lose connection symptom when you wiggling the chord it will be fine it is a cold solder its needs to resolder the connection base so it become firm and works normal again.

Hope it may helps you;

It's the other way around.

Hook up the Cable box to the Amp; and the blu-ray to the amp, then connect amp to LCD.

you want to use the best available options for audio:
HDMI > Digital Optical > Digital Coax > standard RCA

And the similar for video:
HDMI > Component > SVideo > RCA cables

I would connect Blu-Ray via HDMI to Amp, and Cable box via HDMI to Amp. If your cable box does NOT support HDMI, but you have an HD package, ask your cable company for an upgraded box.

If you're getting audio out of one speaker, it's likely not an issue with how the TV's connected to the receiver, but an issue with how your speaker's are connected.

If you run a "speaker test", do you get audio out of all your speakers? If not, it's likely you mixed up your positive and negative connections when connecting your speakers.

The HDMI on the RX-v363 does not pass the audio.  You need to either connect an optical or digital cable from your audio source.  If it is a cable box or DVD player there should be audio outputs in addition to HDMI

Each HDMI port has its own source, such as DVD, Radio, etc. When you switch sources on the receiver, it sends the appropriate signal to the television. If I'm not mistaken, the 463 is only a pass through unit not a converting one so it you hooked up your DVD player through the S Video or Component it may not send the signal to your television through the HDMI, since it takes a converter to change the source from Analog to Digital. May be wrong on the unit though.

Component is better than S-Video. Also, use a fiber optic cable for sound from your DVD player if it has one. This setup will be the closest to HDMI, some argue better.

Buy the Zune A/V kit and hook it up to a non used rca port on the back. Look for the older ones for the 30 gb units, they are much cheaper than the new ones and it takes 10 seconds to modify them to use on the newer units. The A/V kit has 3 rca plugs, one for sound and 2 for video. If you pick a source that can play video and sound on your receiver, then the screen on the zune will display on your television. The A/V kit has a remote with it also so you can control the zune from the room. I have not tried it, but since the Zune remote is IR then if you have a good all in one remote, such as a harmony, you may be able to program the codes from the Zune remote into it and even be able to control your stereo and Zune from one remote. Hope this helps.

I solve this problem by using an optical cable.
The only OUT socket from the TV was this one so i connected the optical cable to the optical input in my amp and it's ok now.
If your TV has another type of Out socket (HDMI OUT e.g) i think you can use it as well

You need to press the AMP button before you press the ENTER button. Always press AMP first when selecting menu, enter, any surround mode, or one of the amp functions in ORANGE above the green numeric buttons.

Got this from Yamaha.

What you will need is a phono pre-amp, then you can run into the receiver with a line level input to an empty audio input on the receiver, you can try Radio Shack to obtain one.

check your speakers cables, connections. check for possible cable short. If seem ok, remove all speakers, turn the unit on and see if still turning off. if it does then you have a trouble in your power amplifier, defective output sectiuon. could be your power and driver transistors. possible dirty or corroded system control board. try cleaning.

yes it is only either a or b because the unit is designed to handle min impedance of 8ohms speaker. you can not use both at the same time

Sounds like an internal software issue dealing with this device.you may have to return it to the manufacture for this repair.

Hi,

on page 15 of user manual there's info about it. Unfortunately, there is no OSD on HDMI connection.

Look:

Best regards!

After further research, I learned that I need to plug the turntable into a preamp before plugging it into my newer receiver. As with cassettes, record players are fading away. I ordered a preamp, but won't be able to experience success until it arrives.

Connectiosn are right but you may be selected Dolby Pro Logic in receiver. Try out with simple surround mode to get sound in all speakers.

This receiver does not have video conversion capabilities. In the owners manual it mentions this. So HD in = HD out. Analog in = analog out on the video portion

I believe changing stations is triggering the protection on receiver. When you go to another input and back you give time for the protection circuitry to release speakers again. Try muting your receiver before changing channels. Good luck!
