LG reciever to LG LCD via HDMI, no signal??

avavshi

HI All,
I am new to this forum. Please help me. I have already wasted two days but couldnt rectify the problem. I am really frustrated.

I have LG AR702TS home theatre system (6.1channel) and 42 inch LCD (42LB9DF). The simplest thing I am trying to do is to connect HDMI out of receiver to HDMI in of LCD so that I can enjoy TV on surround sound. I am aware that I can use optical cable but I want to use HDMI. I have three HDMI inputs on LCD. I have 1 HDMI out and 2 HDMI input on reciever. When I choose HDMI input on TV, it says connecting briefly and then says "no signal". I have done factory reset on TV but it didnt work. I have checked all three HDMI inputs on TV and they work fine as I tested it with my Macbook. I have also set HDMI out on "TV" on the receiever setup. I have tried disconnecting everything and reconnecting it but didnt work. Also, I have checked that my TV and receiever's HDMI in/outs are HDCP compliant.

The only thing I havent treid is try using another HDMI to HDMi cable but I still think its not the issue because the one I am using is brand new.

In short, I CANNOT CONNECT MY RECEIEVR AND TV USING HDMI TO HDMI CABLE. IT SAYS "NO SIGNAL".

Please help please. I will greatly appreciate it.

thanks

Hi and welcome to HDF

I believe I know what your problem is. Though you have 2 HDMI Inputs and 1 HDMI output . . . they bypass the receiver. The HDMI part of your HT is a switcher only.

Here are the specs for your unit:

Just use the Optical.

I also have 6.1, but I do not go through my Yammy. I go from TV to HD box, and the two rca's from the cable go into my Yammy.

Don't worry it comes in as a digital signal. Comcast only has one HDMI on the box I have. My cable music stations sound amazing.

Hope this helps

hi guys..that was very quick reply..sorry but what does it mean by "switcher only"?? both the manuals say that it should work through HDMI to HDMI cable!!!

so there is no way out except using optical??

thanks

I have a Sony 7.1 SX700 receiver. It also has 2/1 HDMI ports - but they do not go throught the receivers surround sound processing.

Here are the supported SS formats from the specs on your HT:

If your HT was a "true" HDMI "receiver" then you would see formats like DD+, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD and or DTS-MA.

Optical it is.
