Hi, I'm having a problem with my AVR 254 receiver making notice when connected to my 46" lcd Samsung TV. Every time a change the channel the TV speakers make a crackling notice, I've tried disconnecting the receiver and the TV works fine. I also have a PS3 & Rogers box hooked up to the receiver. And I'm using HDMI cables. Am I missing a wire or have something connected wrong?

It is either a mismatch or improper ground connection.
Try correcting it by putting a ground line at your AVR
254.

Trying to connect samsung smart tv to harmon kardon avr 330 with toslink cable, but i'm not gettting any sound through the receiver to speakers

The inputs may be assignable on the Harman Kardon. Make sure you have selected the proper analog or digital input type for the cable you are using. For more information, or should you have further questions, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me directly through the website. Thank you.

AVR 254 is not responding. None of its front panel buttons are working (except volume). Same thing with the remote. I noticed that in the front panel area, the speaker icons in the Speaker/Channel Input...

ok
The reason your receiver is causing you issues is cause of a 2 time Delay fuse's on the transformer board all you have to do is to by pass them.
Check the connector on the top front of the HDMI board. at the bottom of the connector it tells you the voltage of each wire the middle one is GND. should read 1.8v and 5.6v if the 5.6v line is dead. you key's in the front panel and sometimes video and audio as well.. will also stop working. all you have to do is to by pass them.

I will be posting a video later today on how to fix this issue. Regards,

PC Sound Card Connection to Denon AVR-2805 or Samsung 40B610

  • Should I be connecting my pc sound card directly to the receiver or to the tv then to my receiver to get the best sound output? To your reciver
  • When I get the HD Digital Tuner, does that make any difference for the pc connection?
  • Try to connect everything that is sound onto your reciver then
  • connect all your video to your your TV for now
  • When you get your digital tuner connect all your inputs for video to(in order >reciever>HD Tuner>TV
  • Basicly everything goes to your tuner first.

Getting picture lines across tv that keep scrolling down like old tv's used to do. HDMI connected to cable box. Cable box to tv works fine and dvd to receiver hdmi to tv works fine no picture problems. can...

You will need to run HDMI directly from TV to Cable Box. Then run an optical or digital coaxial from your cable box to your receiver. The version of HDMI in your receiver is 1.1 or 1.2 and will not pass signal correctly. The recording industry has placed many roadblocks in front of HDMI to keep us from recording.... Go figure... That's the fix though. Hope this helps

Connect the optical audio OUT on the TV to the optical audio IN on the receiver. Turn the receiver on and set it to input as it was labeled on the connection ("video" or "auxillary" or such). Turn the TV on and set it to an active TV channel (with video and presumably audio info), not to VIDEO 1.
If you continue to have a problem, please provide an update.
