I called sony, even though the manuel shows that you can use a component wire to hook up the set top box and hdmi for the tv and dvd sony claims that you can not do this. The cable box must also be wired with an hdmi cable going into the video 2 port.sony claims it doesn't work using component and hdmi together because the receiver is unable to up convert. I hope this helps. I have not tried it yet (i'm at work) we'll see what happens when i get home.

I seem to have the same problem, i hooked everything up per the diagrams using hdmi cables. i received a picture from the dvd player but i'm getting nothing from the set top box. unless there is something i am missing i'm leaning towards a faulty unit. When i scrapped the hdmi cables and used component cables i got a picture from the cable box. I'm wondering if the receiver may have a faulty hdmi out to tv port.
