Welcome to High Def Forum. It does not seem to me that you should be messing with the HDMI color settings. You have no choice in this matter. I checked mine, the Color Space said YCC 4:4:4. This is as it was when I plugged it in. It is okay to choose 720p, 1080i, 4:3 override off, or on. Modern TV will take any of these. You say RGB shows YPbPr and 4:4:4. That does not sound like what I see on my box. YPbPr comes up for 1080i. I do not see it anywhere else. I would be tempted to say that is what your TV wants. Unfortunately, it does not explain why your SD channels do not work. You might try connecting the HDMI directly to the TV and compare that. Some people have difficulty passing the HDMI through a stereo. The best reason to do it is for switching. That is, if you have more equipment than you have inputs on the TV. You could use coaxial or fiber optic SPDIF to get digital audio to your stereo. I like coaxial, cause I just had a fiber optic cable die. I would rather that did not happen again. You might even have an extra RCA cord lying around you could use. Though I think the FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO is go to HDMI settings, and try to restore the defaults. That alone could solve your problem. Good luck.
