Hdmi hook up to onkyo 906 problems

Has anyone figured out a way to use their Apple TV with an Onkyo 906 reciever (using HDMI). THe receiver is set up to accept the HDMI in but I only get a blue screen, no menu. I get audio beeps when I press the remote but no video. Cables and ATV work fine directly into another TV, but not throught the Onkyo 906. The HDMI inputs work fine with all other devices.

I got mine around 2 months ago.. I'm using HDMI and I don't remember any issues setting it up.. The only issue i had was using SKY TV with 5.1 sound.. i.e. having the picture through HDMI and the audio through optical, But i sorted that too.
Hope this helps,
Mort..

HDMI On Mac Mini Late 2012: Problem with hardware?

Just converted from PC to Mac.
Purchased latest mac mini (Late 2012 version)
Have tried several monitors through HDMI port and each time the picture quality is poor with very bad text resolution.
Have tried HDMI to HDMI and also tried HDMI to DVI adaptor.
This is with full 1080p 27 inch samsung monitor and HP 2010i monitor.
Is there a problem with the HDMI port on this new mac mini?
The monitors I have are fine and are crystal sharp when connected to PC.
Many thanks if you can answer this

OK. So I have now tried LG 27 Inch E2742 Monitor as follows:
1) Mini display to DVI-D : Picture good with decent text resolution
2) HDMI-HDMI: Picture poor with poor colour and text resolution. This is not a calibration issue.
The samsung monitor 27 inch series 3 also has poor picture and colour and text resolution with HDMI-HDMI. Again this is not a calibration issue. It does not have a DVI-D input to test the minidisplay port.
So it seems the HDMI port is not working properly but the minidisplay one is ok as I suspected.
From reading the other threads it seems this is a common problem including those people that have taken their minis back for an exchange and experienced same problem.
Is there likely to be a software update to resolve this?

Why does the Retina Screen on MBPR2013 make a Weird Flash when I have a External Display via HDMI hooked up?

I just bought a new 2013 early MACBOOK PRO RETINA. When i have an external Display hooked up via the HDMI port, I noitce when I wake the computer UP it has a Different type OF QUICK FLASH that comes up than when there is nothing hooked up so I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but its very disturbing to me, it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the HDMI PORT ????? Has anyone else experienced this or knows if this is NORMAL behavior of the new RETINA displays or the HDMI port makes it FLASH weird upon WAKE UP??? I have unplugged the HDMI and when I do the SCREEN comes up normally it just blinks on. But when HDMI is used its light lightening stike. Don't know how else to explain it, maybe i need to do a video and Post a video.

One more disturbing thing. When the screen on my MBP goes black and I check the system preferences for "Displays", the MacBook Pro display is not presented as an existing display. Only the still-functioning Apple 20" Cinema Display.
Where did it go??

HDMI from PC to TV video problem

Hi, I have a problem with my Notebook. When i connect my HP PC with the HDMI Cable to the TV, after a few minutes the screen of the TV (only the TV) became pink/purple or blue.
I have Windows 8.1 with all the updates and all the drivers. The problem isn't of the TV, because i tried to connect 2 other pcs to my TV and i didn't get this error.
Is a problem of my Notebook, of Windows 8.1 or other?
Please help me, thank you.

HDMI monitor, detected as television, causing problems

I have an Acer H233H monitor that is connected to a 2010 mini via HDMI. In display preferences it is detected as a television. This is causing problems with some games. The games will only let me choose 50hz refresh rates, when the desktop is running at 60hz just fine. Is there a way to force my monitor to be detected as a monitor instead of a TV, so that I can choose from proper resolutions instead of 1080p?

The monitor sends a signal to identify itself to the device to which it is attached, the EDID. So it appears that your monitor is telling the Mac what it is. The Mac can only go by what it is told.
What does the user guide that came with the monitor say regarding the refresh rate. Can the monitor even use 50hz?

Hooking up external synth. monitoring problem. HELP!!!

so...i had been using garageband without a problem. i am having a problem with logic. i want to record the sounds off my alesis micron. i have 1/4 inch cables running through a tascam us 122. that is hooked up to my macbook pro via usb cable (just trying to be specific here as to how i have things hooked up and my settings). computer input is the us-122, the output is the headphones built in output (instead of the output on t he tascam).
heres what i have been trying:
i have the driver on the tascam within logic. clicked on an audio track...enable recording. when i play my keyboard i can see that its picking up a signal...but i can't hear anything. even when playing one of the tutorial tracks that come with logic i cannot hear anything. so i experiment...i record, play my synth a little (even though i can't hear it) and stop. it records the waveform. when i try to play back, i can't hear it. when i switch the driver to direct line...only then can i hear what i records (i cannot hear my synth when the driver is set to direct line, no signal comes through obviously). my initial thought was that there is a monitor play thru button somewhere like garage band. the software monitoring was clicked the whole time. i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. can anyone help me?
sorry for being longwinded here but im trying to give as much information as possible.

With no offense intended: your questions seem to indicate confusion on an extremely basic level that's probably quite beyond the scope of this forum.
It sounds like you need an introduction to basic MIDI, and the differences between MIDI and audio.
http://www.tweakheadz.com/howto_get_started_withmidi.html
Basically, MIDI is the equivalent of sheet music - it tells the performing instrument which note(s) to play at what time. What the actual audio generated sounds like is of no concern to MIDI - that depends on the instrument used.
The audio is the equivalent of a CD recording of the sheet music being performed. It's a completely different medium, as it were.
Where it gets confusing is in devices that do both, such as the Kaoss pad: you can use it as a MIDI controller to influence the parameters of the synthesizer, AND you can use it to mangle the audio that comes out of the synthesizer (or anywhere else).
You're going to want to hook the Kaoss pad up via MIDI and audio; the trick is using the Presonus Firebox's mixer/routing application to route the incoming/outgoing audio to your monitor system and into the Kaoss pad at the same time (so as to be able to add FX from the Kaoss pad).
The audio routing will probably be easier to setup for an inexperienced user/better to control with an external mixer, though the Presonus is certainly potent enough to get it all done in software. But how to set that up really depends on what exactly you're looking to be doing.
It's easier to fiddle around with cables and a hardware mixer if you're just learning.

HDMI hook-up

I have the TX2 and I want to know how -or if it is worth it- I can go about hooking my laptop to my HDTV. I see a VGA port on the laptop but no actual HDMI port. Is there an accessory that I can buy to make the connection that is not that expensive?

Hi Scalien,
I'm sure you could find some kind of adapter that would allow you to hook your laptop up to an HDMI port via your VGA. However, the quality of the connection would be limited by the VGA technology and likely wouldn't look that good. Does the TV have VGA or DVI input? Those might be easier to connect.

HT4241 HDMI hooked in, picture great, but no sound?

I have an hdmi cable hooked up from my mac to the tv. I can get picture but I cannot get sound. Can someone tell me if there is a setting I need to change and where is it?

Mary,
What year is your MBP? Prior to 2010 they didn't carry audio over HDMI. You can get around it by using a separate cable from your headphone jack to audio in on the TV.

IMovie Crashes When I Hook Up Canon VIXIA - New Problem

Hi all - I have a Canon VIXIA HF200 camera, which has worked perfectly with iMovie until this weekend. I have iMovie 8 (7.1.4) and like I said it's worked great until recently. Now, iMovie launches fine but when I hook up the Canon video camera via USB, iMovie crashes. I did accept an iMac system update recently so I am wondering if this is related. Help???

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Delete iMovie pref file
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
• Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• iMovie updated ?
• QuickTime updated ?
• Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

MINI PORT TO HDMI HOOKING UP MAC TO TV

When I connected my mac to my TV using a mini port to hdmi cable I did not see my computer screen view on the TV but instead I saw apples default screen saver (the galaxy shot). I can move pages off my computer to the right and it slides it into the TV shot as if my screen extends out to the right where I can only see it on the TV. How do I change it to view on the TV exactly what I see on the computer?

Well through lots of trial and error I finally figured it out. System Preferences > Displays > Arraingement > check the box that says "mirror displays" I only hope this helps someone else from a long fustrating night.

Because I have my photos hooked up on a download problem, my Back Up onto I cloud is reading 5 hours. can you suggest how to unhook it all

I need to unhook this problem of my photos downloading permenantly, because when I try to Icloud backup, it says it will take 5 hours. please offer suggestions

Often a simple reboot will resolve the problem. If it doesn't, do a test copy in the Finder from the source to the backup volume. Is that slow too? Delete the copied files from the backup volume after the test.

I do not have a HDMI hook up

I just purchased an Apple TV. Since my TV is older, it does not have an HDMI hookup. What can I do?

Unless there is a cable box that can act as an HDMI switch, the answer is no.
(Cable box HDMI connections are usually output only not inputs to show signals through their other outputs).

Trying to stream netflix from iPad to tv...not working...have av and hdmi hooked up...?????

trying to stream netflix from iPad to tv, but not working...settings in iPad, or something?

Sorry, totally missed that. Can you give some information about what is happening when you plug your iPad to the TV?
For example, does normal mirroring work (i.e., do you see your iPad home screen on the TV when you plug it)? Does any application other than netflix (be it a game or another streaming application) work? Do you get an error? Does it just show a white/black/blank screen on your iPad and TV?

Mini - DVI/HDMI - Onkyo TX-SR674 - Philips 42" LCD | Problem

OK, I just got my new Mini (1.66 Core Duo) to hook up to my Philips 42" 1080P HDTV LCD. I have the video signal going via a DVI to HDMI cable through my Onkyo TX-SR674 Receiver. The reason for this setup is that the Onkyo receiver controls my video switching and sends the video signal through only one HDMI cable to the TV. That way with one press, I switch audio and video signal at the same time.
Well, the Mini works great with this setup... until... I start up Safari. As soon as Safari starts, I lose the video signal. I can run iTunes, System Utilities and it doesn't cause this problem. The video signal flickered a bit during a repair of permissions, but as soon as Safari brings up the Apple page, I lose the signal.
My video res is setup at 1920x1200, 60 Hz.
Any idea why this is happening. What in the Safari browser would cause the video signal to all of the sudden freak out?
Thanks!
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

OK, I had no problems with a direct hookup to my TV and bypass the TX-SR674, but I was not satisfied with that solution!
I found other programs and not just certain webpages in Safari that caused the display to freakout in the old mode, too.
I downloaded and installed switchResX and it had two (2) 1920x1080x60 resolutions listed. When I choose the other 1920x1080x60 resolution, it works fine. Doesn't freak out. Not sure what is different about the second setting, but so far it seems to work OK.
If worse comes to worse, I could always lower the resolution and just have the TX-S674 upscale it to 1080 for me. I may do this eventually anyway since everything on the screen is a bit too small to read from my couch. Not sure on that yet.
But anyways, just thought I'd report back on my results. Thanks!
