TV quit picking up over the air channels while watching. TV Jack works on other TV and video cables in or HDMI connection works fine on the problem TV.
While watching over the air television last night the channel went out and the no signal message came up. Changed channels and no signal on all channels. It also seemed to now change channels slowly having to wait for the no signal message before going to the next channel. I hooked up the xbox on HDMI 1 and had a perfect picture and sound. I then hooked the antenna feed on that tv onto a different tv and received all channels just fine. I next hooked up a converter box to the same antenna jack and hooked the converter box up to the sansui via video jack cable and received all channels, just not in HD. Could this be the main board is defective that is attached to the over the air cable connection, part no. CAA6I18092(3IM-01F)

I assume your channels are accessed by using a cable box. If this is the case, you are likely using an HDMI cable, not the TV tuner. Use the TV remote to switch to the correct HDMI input on the TV. If you are using a coax cable from the cable box (the twist on round tipped cable) and it still doesn't pick up channel 3 or 4, then I would contact the provider and tell them your cable line is not active and needs to be connected outside.
If you have a cable box the channels are selected via the cable box remote and the TV is set to an HDMI video input. The specific input is identified where the HDMI cable connects from the box.
Use the video input remote to select the HDMI for the cable box.
Scanning is for identifing the over the air stations that use the coax input noted as antenna (ANT IN) on the back of the set.
If you just have over-the-air signals from local broadcast stations, you need a good VHF/UHF antenna connected to the RF input jack on the TV in order to get reception. If you have access to cable TV or satellite, you need to connect the box or receiver set-top-box to the TV using a HDMI cable. You need to select on the TV using the remote, (press the MENU button) setup for tuning channels. Do a scan after setting to AIR or CABLE so the TV picks up all available channels you can get. Once this is done you can change channels and see TV. If you reply back with specifics, I can help more...
Hi, Yamaha audio-video receivers are equipped with a variety of connecting jacks for hooking up different types of electronic equipment. Component AV cables are typically used for hooking up the receiver to a cable TV box. Component cables can also be used to connect the Yamaha receiver to an HDTV, although a High Definition Media Interface (HDMI) cable offers a simpler connection if the receiver is equipped with HDMI (all HDTV sets are equipped with the distinctive, six-sided HDMI jack). The connections should take less than five minutes.
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
* 2 sets component AV cables * HDMI cable
Check the back of the Yamaha receiver to determine if HDMI is available. The six-sided jack contains 19 holes set in three rows. If the receiver is equipped with an HDMI Out port, use an HDMI cable to connect to the TV by inserting the plug straight into the jack with the wider end turned upward.
Insert the red, green and blue plugs on a set of component AV cables into the Video Out jacks on the cable TV box, matching the plug colors to the jacks.
Connect the plugs on the other end to a set of Video In jacks on the back of the Yamaha receiver. Make a note of which jacks are used for the connection. Each set of jacks is labeled on the receiver.
Insert the audio plugs on the component cables into the Audio Out jacks on the cable box, using the white plug for the left channel and the red plug for the right.
Attach the plugs on the other end to the Audio In jacks on the Yamaha receiver.
Use a second set of component AV cables to connect from the AV Out jacks on the Yamaha to the AV In jacks on the HDTV only if an HDMI cable was not used.
If your remote also controls the Cable Box you might want to look at its audio settings. Maybe you muted it.
BTW: it would be a good idea to also run video and analog audio from the cable box directly to the TV if it has speakers so you can watch and listen independent of the Onkyo.
I have sound on video 2, and when on a static channel but not on the usual channel 3 which is TV. Just stoppen working one day and cant figure it out... Please help!
I guess you are using the cable TV feed looped through the VCR to the TV set.
Make sure you did not confuse the in and out loop of the VCR.
In the VCR menu, or on the remote there is usually a button called TV/VCR (Video). Make sure it is in the TV mode to watch the cable. In the VCR (Video) mode, the TV must be on the VCR's designated channel to watch the VCR, and the VCR tuner is used to watch the cable channels.
I found the fix. Had the same problem. I right clicked on the sound speaker icon in the bottom right of Windows 7. Chose Playback Devices. Once this window opens, then make sure you are on the Playback tab. Scroll down until you see the HDMI Device. (Mine was hidden at the bottom of the list.) Then choose "set as default". The sound will begin playing on the TV with only the HDMI connected......no need for an extra audio cable.
Replace main board (tuner board) CAA6I18092 and now receive channels again.
