HDMI out jack physically broken on my rx-v1900. Fixable?

No. You'll have to connect the video to your TV and then pass the audio to the receiver. 3-D pass-thru was only added to some audio receivers with HDMI outputs in about 2010. The Yamaha RX-V1300 was released at least 7 years earlier. Video monitors/TVs with 3D display were virtually unknown when this model was released. You can find the specifications for this receiver here: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hifi-components/stereo-receivers/rx-v1300_black__u/ (click on the Specs tab).

I wish that I had better news for you.

Yes your amplifier has assignable multi zone capability .You have to go into the initial setup of the amplifier and select if you want to assign any one of the amplifiers ( eg: rear back amp ) as zone 2.

If you mean the where the aerial goes in, it will be much cheaper to replace that, then buy any board, even if they are still made.
Have a look in Maplins (uk) or Radio Shack (USA) to see if you spot something like it. It will just need soldering on!

On most modern receivers you must select which signal type you want it to process.

for example on my Denon, I have to go into the on screen menu and select the input I want ie: video 1.Then tell it which signal I want it to use ie: s-video, component or HDMI input for video and then which input corresponds to the audio signal for that component ie: analog, digital, optical or hdmi.

Its complicated and a pain in the ****

Hopefully that helps call Yamaha they will usually walk you through the process while on the phone.

OK. So did it come with instructions? If not, it is a rip-off. I suggest you contact your retailer in that case.

"I know what I know because I know what to do!"

I would start at the www.yamaha.com web site's support page. Find a Support page, and then look for Downloads. Be prepared to enter specific info about your device, like model number, serial number, etc.
If that fails, enter something like: yamaha rx-v1900 user manual in Google and you should see many different references to it. Spend a few minutes browsing the most likely places by reading the headings.
Good luck!

What do you hear? Do all other modes work ok?

If Audio Select (Page 44 and 98) is set to HDMI you will hear silence if no HDMI signal is present. I think AUTO is the best choice here.

-------

On Page 98 of the manual it says a bunch of things concerning automatic signal detection and input selection.

Initial configuration D) INIT. CONFIG
Use this feature to select the settings of the audio input jack select, active decoders and extended surround when you tum on this unit.
....

Audio select AUDIO SELECT
Use this feature to designate the default audio input jack select setting (see page 44) for the input sources connected to the DIGITAL INPUT jacks when you tum on the power of this unit.


HDMI set E)HDMI SET
Use this feature to select the component to play back HDMI audio signals.

Support audio S. Audio
Use this feature to select whether to play back HDMI audio signals on this unit or on another HDMI component connected to the HDMI OUT jack on the rear panel of this unit.
...

CHOICE = RX-V663

FUNCTION
Plays back HDMI audio signals on this unit. The HDMI audio signals input at the HDMI input jacks of this unit are not output to the HDMI component connected to the HDMI OUT jack on the rear panel of this unit.

CHOICE = OTHER
HDMI component connected to the HDMI OUT jack.

NOTES
This unit transmits audio and video signals input at the HDMI input jacks to the HDMI out jack only when this unit is turned on even if "S.AUDIO" is set to "OTHER".

I'd look in these areas for specific guidance.

Solution on page 111 of the owner's manual:

"Connect the source component to the analog audio input jacks of this unit to play back the source in Zone 2 or Zone 3.
This unit does not output the audio signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT and HDMI jacks to the ZONE OUT jacks."

Basically you cannot use an HDMI input if you want to play in Zone 2 or 3. A simple solution is to add an extra audio cable from your PS3 audio output jack to an analog audio input jack on the receiver.

do you have the ventilation holes covered so air cant get in to let heat out? it sounds like a thermal related problem.

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
