When I connect my laptop using an hdmi cord-the tv doesn't receive a signal - why ? I can do it with any other tv with an hdmi input - how can I remedy this??

If your Denon AVR-888 is not passing HDMI signal from your Asus UX431F laptop to your Vizio TV, but is passing signal from your Apple TV, there may be a compatibility issue between the laptop and the receiver or between the receiver and the TV. Here are a few things you can try:

1. Check HDMI cables: Make sure all HDMI cables are properly connected and working. Try using different HDMI cables to see if that resolves the issue.
2. Update firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for the receiver and the laptop. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve compatibility issues.
3. Check laptop settings: Make sure the laptop is set to output video through its HDMI port. On some laptops, you may need to manually select the HDMI output in the display settings.
4. Try a different input: If your receiver has multiple HDMI inputs, try plugging your laptop into a different input to see if that resolves the issue.
5. Contact the manufacturer: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact the manufacturer of the laptop, receiver, or TV for further assistance.

It's also worth noting that some older HDMI receivers may not be compatible with newer HDMI devices. If your receiver is several years old, it may not be able to pass the HDMI signal from your laptop. In that case, you may need to upgrade to a newer receiver that supports HDMI 2.0 or higher.

Hi Caleb,
To resolve this, please perform the following steps:

If the TV does not work, please follow these steps:

If your TV has no HDMI input to connect with your laptop's HDMI output, surely you need a converter. If the laptop have A/V output, and the TV too have an A/V input, you can connect in between, using an AV cord. google.com/+GopakumarGopalan

Sounds like either the laptop's hdmi output, or the tv's hdmi input is the problem. You can findout wich one by connecting the laptop to another set and see if it still happens. If it goes away then it is your tv input, if it is still there it is the computer.

Plug the HDMI into laptop and T.V first then turn the laptop on, I have the same problem sometimes just doesnt read it properly if the laptop is already turned on when plugging in to HDMI. Hope this helps

If you are using a cable box, then run your HDMI cord into your receiver HDMI input. Then another HDMI cord from thr Reciever HDMI out to your Samsung Hdmi input.

Connect the HDMI cord to both. Switch to the HDMI input on the TV. Boot the laptop. If you're using Windows and the TV doesn't show the laptop's screen, right click anywhere on the desktop that doesn't have an icon, then select properties. In the tab to the right of the resulting window, you should be able to enable screen mirroring, expansion, or switching.

Some laptops also have a function key set that you press to switch monitor outputs. Look for keys with secondary, alternate color commands on them. It will normally take a set of key presses.

make sure you are using a highspeed HDMI cable to connect the laptop to the TV, then set your TV input to HDMI/digital. Then set your default playback device on the laptop to HDMI to make sure signal goes from the laptop video controller to the TV. hope this helps, feel free to rate how useful the info is to you

Why do you use VGA-HDMI cable? This TV works fine with VGA cable - it has VGA plug.
Or if your notebook has DVI output, then you can use DVI/HDMI cable and connect it to the TV to plug named DVI/HDMI (only one HDMI input is marked as DVI on TV).
I suppose that over HDMI the TV supports only some standard resolutions, but over VGA it supports almost every resolution laptops use. You can find supported resolutions for each input in the TV manual. Try setting the same resolution on the laptop.

If you tv has a hdmi input, connect it to the Yahama receiver hdmi output (out). If you are using a satellite receiver, digital converter, or a cable box with hdmi output(s), connect them to the Yahama hdmi input (in) for video and audio signals. If the above box(es) do not have hdmi capabilities, then connect the box(es) to the Yahama with either component (preferred), svideo, or yellow RCA compsite video jack (least preferred) for the video signal. For audio, connect the box(es) with optical or coax (preferred) or left-right-center-front-rear patch cords.

It really all depends on what outputs are available on the boxes and/or signal source(s).

Hope this helps,
