Denon AVR-4806 HDMI problem

I have been unsuccessful to get the HDMI ports on the 4806 to work. I've tried numerous things based on previous posts but no luck. I run a HDMI cable from the DVD player to the 4806 and then an HDMI cable from the 4806 to an epson 8100 projector. I've tested the cable by connecting the DVD player with the cable that runs to the projector and its displays fine. I've set the video single on the DVD player to 480i (along with all the other settings, Auto, 720, 1080, etc) and still nothing. All these signals work directly on the cable up to the projector. I've also tested the input cable (connecting the DVD player to another HD TV). The Video inputs are set to DVD player in HDMI 1 (I've tried the other two inputs and no luck). I"ve turned the HDMI Output convert to on and still nothing. The component video for the DVD player works without issue. Could the HDMI ports be bad having never used them? Denon site says there is no update for my model or serial number.

Check which port you have the HDMI cable connected to, then go into the menu on the TV, look for it on screen and Enable it .

Good luck

SOURCE: Denon AVR 1610 hdmi to component video conversion missing?

hello i believe your problem is that you are trying to downconvert from hdmi to component connections and Denon receivers will not do that.

I have a 4310 and I know it will UPconvert from an analog signal to HDMI but won't do it the other way around.

you may have to use component inputs for all your equipment. You will also have to go into the receivers menu and designate which signal is being used for each component as it won't auto select between analog and digital signals when it comes to video.

hope that helps

I have a Denon AVR 3310CI everything appears to work HDMI inputs recognizes speakers but zero sound ???

If you have verified that the Denon AVR 3310CI is properly configured and connected to the speakers but are still unable to hear anything, you can try the following troubleshooting procedures:
Examine the HDMI cables: Check to see that the HDMI cables are securely connected to the HDMI output port on your source device and the HDMI input ports on the receiver's back. To see if that resolves the issue, try substituting new HDMI cables.
The microprocessor must be reset: The functions of the Denon AVR 3310CI are controlled by a microprocessor. Try powering the receiver back on while simultaneously holding down the "Power" and "Speaker A" buttons to reset the microprocessor.
Check the settings for the sound: Check that the sound settings on the receiver are set up correctly. To ensure that the settings are optimized for your particular setup, check the model's manual.
Aktualize the firmware: Check to see if the Denon AVR 3310CI's firmware can be updated. For additional information on how to update the firmware, you can visit the Denon website or get in touch with their customer support.
Use a different source to test: To determine whether the issue is with the receiver or the original source device, test it with a different source device.

I have a denon avr-1611 and can get sound playback through my connected speakers (not tv speakers) but no video output from hdmi. I have the receiver connected to a samsung tv. Is there any fix for th

You should check your Denon manual to be sure that the receiver has been set up correctly. My 1913 has many set up options including associating a particular HDMI out connection with a particular source like CBL/SAT or DVD. The fact that you hear sound indicates the HDMI cable connecting the cable box or DVD player to the receiver is working ( at least the sound portion of the HDMI in cable.)

Next, is the HDMI connection you are using to the TV the one selected in the source listing on the TV ? The sound and video circuitry on a receiver are separated and you can hear sound but see no video if the TV isn't selecting the correct source. For example if the TV is set to HDMI1 but you are plugged into HDMI 2. If this doesn't solve your problem try this:

At this point you don't know if the problem is the receiver HDMI connections or TV HDMI connections or a bad HDMI cable. The first thing to try is a new HDMI Cable. If that doesn't solve the problem then do the following.

If the TV has more than one HDMI connection try another HDMI port. Be sure to switch the source on the TV to the new HDMI port ie. HDMI1,HDMI2 or whatever.

If this fixes the problem you are done. If not then Try the same thing with the HDMI out ports on the receiver. Try each one not forgetting to set the receiver to use the HDMI port you are testing.
each time.

Since this can get confusing I would write down what you are testing each time so you don't get lost or confused.

If none of this works then you can try hooking up another TV to the HDMI cable, if you have one. If you do this and you still have a problem it points to the receiver as being the culprit.

The most likely problem is you have misconfigured the system so that is where I started. Each test is dependent on the fact that your system is correctly configured to begin with.

I have a denon avr-x2000 all hdmi ports except the cab/sat are fuzzy. it started with the PS3 on the game port

Plug your ps3 and/or blu-ray directly into the TV and see what it looks like. use different HDMI cables to test them. Once you know that all works then setup your avr-x2000. Does the Denon menus look fuzzy?

Denon avr-1909 has sound but no video, tried everything!!

Denon requires that you assign video to specific ports. HDMI, RCA or any other- you have to select which type and which port and you will get video.

I am trying to connect ps3. (bought may 2012 with uncharted 3). To my denon 2313 via hdmi. No video at all or sound? Please help

You need to tell the PS3 to use the HDMI cable output. To test have you tried connecting the PS3 directly to the TV. Once you have that working then add in the AVR.

I understand, it's something I've misunderstood on my denon avr-790 as well when connected to a samsung 8000 series led tv.
The answer isn't in the receiver's settings (you can be on whatever source you want on the receiver end when toggling the menu). You need to toggle through the tv's sources to find the menu (usually found on hdmi 1). I've spent towards an hour recently troubleshooting only to find that it was the tv's source that wasn't set properly and I was trying to change the receiver's settings instead of the tv's source.
Hope that helps!
