Sounds like you have an intermittant problem? Couyld be as simple as cold solder connections, as this is very common on older recivers and electronics. if your not a tech\, this is not a repair for you to play with as it can cause more damage to the unit. if you dont care with the unit open and if you know how to solder , tap around with an insulated tool or a wooden tool and see if you can get the probl;em to happen , If you see the problem connection REMEMBER you must know how to solder as well as desolder. If you dont know how to solder , take the unit into a shop to be repaiered. good Luck

Are you saying that this happens only when you are using the RF input? Is it not happening when you use the video input from the satellite receiver? Try a DVD player on the input of the video where you now have the Satellite receiver connected. Let me know exactly what you mean as i need a little more information so I can assist you.

Hmm.. I doubt you will be able to help me, and if you can, it won't be free, but here's my question anyway: any idea why when I try to connect an s-video cable from my harman kardon avr 130's Video 1...

Well, use the "Monitor Out" jack on the receiver, as that is what it's designed for.
Is there a jack labeled "Video 1 Input" or only "Video 1 Output"? It could be that the Harmon Kardon folks have a weird way of labelling so that "Video 1 Output" is actually an "input" to the amp that is then fed thru the "Monitor Out" jack. It will take some experimenting on your behalf. Some units will also NOT take an input or output thru the S-Video IF you have a composite cable connected to the (yellow) composite video jack for that same point, so make sure that is disconnected if you want to use the SVideo. Also, sometimes there is a menu setup in your monitor where you have to decide between Composite video or SVideo or Component Video, so check that in some cases as well.
Let me know what you find out.

When I am connecting my Wii with the receive, sound is coming okay but no video with I put in Yellow

in your menu ther is a place to assign video inputs. i suspect that the video input you are using for your game is not set to composite (you say that you are using the yellow, that would only work for composite). Search through your video menu til you come upon the part that says assign video inputs. then pick the correct (number 1, 2, front panel, etc) input and change it so it reads analog or composite. that should allow you to pass the video portion. if all else fail you can always connect the video portion to the tv directly.

Im trying to hook up my wii to my surround sound and i have a denon avr-789 and im hooking it up to the aux outlet and im only getting sound no video

Connect all of your cables to your display and then connect another set of cables to your audio variable out from the television to the input you wish to get sound from on the receiver. Then make sure your tv is selected to the input you plugged the wii into, for example, Front video or Video 1 etc etc.

Yamaha RX-V530 no OSD

There is no OSD on this unit. The Monitor Outputs are there in case you run video inputs to the receiver, which you don't.

Remap digital audio on Yamaha HTR-6130

Actually I found in the sound menu on the receiver that there is an input source setting changer for the 3 digital audio inputs. Also you can change the names of the other inputs to match your components needs.

Good work Yamaha.

No sound from optical or coax digital inputs

You have to use the system setting using the remote and turn on the inputs you want to use. Hope this helps.

Onkyo TX DS797 no sound from cable TV

Have you made sure the receiver's INPUT SELECTOR is set to "Video 2"? I know it seems like a stupid question, but worth mentioning as many folks would set the receiver on TV, which would not work unless the signal was also plugged into a "TV input" in back of the receiver. If your setting is correct, try running the TV cable sound temporarily into the receiver's DVD input, which we know does work. If you still don't get cable TV sound when the receiver is set to "DVD", then you have a problem with the TV cable audio portion. Most receivers would fail completely, rather than have only one input fail, so my guess is that there is a hookup or switching error somewhere.
