Pioneer vsx-5231 not pairing with Phillips bdp-2175 smart bluray player

I have the system completely installed and all cables and plugs are secured and plugged in. I have a smart Blu-ray player(Phillips bdp-2175) and a Motorola DVR for Comcast cable. I also have a Belkin Song Stream Bluetooth receiver plugged into my Pioneer receiver. Both, the Blu-ray player and the Comcast DVR are going through the Pioneer Receiver via HDMI cables and one HDMI cable going from the Pioneer receiver to the TV(Vizio E601i-A3) My Comcast cable Motorola DVR is working perfectly going through the Pioneer Receiver, but I cannot get the Phillips Blu-ray player to pair with the Pioneer Receiver, as I get "no signal" message on TV and HDMI is blinking on the front panel of the Pioneer Receiver. I have tried everything I can think of including unplugging and resetting all components, hard resetting all components, trying different settings in the Pioneer and Phillips setup menus. I know the Blu-ray player is working fine with the TV, because I can bypass the Pioneer receiver and run the HDMI directly to the TV and it works fine. The handshake between the Blu-ray player and the Pioneer receiver is my problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I would love to watch a great Blu-ray movie using my new Bose Acoustimass 6 series III Surround sound system. Thank You!

    Almost forgot! when I switch the Pioneer Receiver to BD(Where Phillips player is connected) and power on the Blu-ray player, the Pioneer receiver front panel has a red light come on labeled HDMI and the HDMI displayed stops blinking. At the same time, the TV screen brings up the Phillips start screen, but a few seconds later, it goes black again saying "no signal", the red HDMI light goes off of the front of the Pioneer receiver and the HDMI on the display starts blinking again.

Have you tried to connect the Philips direct to the TV's hdmi?

Could be the resolution on the bluray is set to 1080p which may be out of range for the receiver or even the TV for that matter. If you can reset the output resolution of the bluray to 480p first, just to establish a picture then try 720P which all HD tv's and receivers can handle.

I did a quick search and could not find the resolution reset procedure for this unit. Other units will reset if you press and hold 2 or more buttons together.

SOURCE: Problems with Sharp Blu Ray Player "copy protected signal"

Possible solution: You set up your remote to run your amp from the TV control, using the AQUOS Link. Even though your amp is out of the loop, it's still recognized by the TV. You might have to reset the TV back to default and run the AQUOS Link again.

My remote for my Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD died. Is it possible to get a universal one as a replacement?

You most likely can use a universal remote to control this device, you will just have to search for Pioneer bluray player radio codes that you can configure on the universal remote.

No picture through Pioneer VSX 818V. Hi I have connected a blueray th the hdmi input and the tv to the hdmi, I have sound but no picture or on screen display?

Your receiver has 2 HDMI in with one HDMI out, 3 Component in and one out, and two difital optical in. If the bluray player has HDMI out this woukd be your best bet because HDMI carries the audio and video. If it has Component out, you would have to provde sound through the digital optical. Not knowing what blueray player or kind of tv you have, it's hard to advise so I may be over explaining. Anyway, we've touched on the bluray player to receiver. Out of your three HDMI slots on your receiver only one is HDMI out so make sure you're in the right one. Idaelly you have a DVD/blueray in on your receiver so on your receiver you would select "DVD" when playing. If your hook up is correct you may have to try another HDMI cable to test.
