No Video Via HDMI With Denon Receiver

I just purchased a Denon 2307 receiver and I am attempting to use my MacBook as my DVD player. I purchased a DVI-HDMI cable and plugged my MacBook directly into the receiver. An Optoma HD70 projector is connected to the HDMI out connection on the receiver. However, I get no video and the receiver just clicks while it searches for something connected to the HDMI2 connection. Audio works via an optical cable, however.
If I connect my MacBook directly to the projector I get video. Either way, the MacBook System Preferences recognizes a 2nd monitor, either DENON-AV or OPTOMAHD70. So, I know it is not the cable. I also know it is not the HDMI2 connection because I tried HDMI1 as well. Normally, I have an HD TiVo connected to HDMI1.
Searching the forums and performing random Google searches has yielded nothing except one vaugue reference to a lack of HDCP on the MacBook. I currently don't have any other adpaters/cables to test this theory, i.e. vga-component... which I am unsure would work anyway.
On the AVSForums, someone with an intel Mac mini and a Denon 2807 receiver got them to work together. Yes, they are different models, but I mention it because they are of the same most recent generation.
Will this setup ever work?
Thanks in advance for any help.

As a side note, I tested my setup with a different receiver, a Denon 4306 model, and I was able to display video. What could be specific to the 2307 model that would prevent me from displaying video?

Audio & video via HDMI to an external monitor with lid closed.

I would like to run a Macbook Pro Retina (2014) with the lid closed and all video and audio via HDMI routed to an external monitor (Samsung Syncmaster from 2010). Is this possible? When I try this, no sound is transferred to the external monitor and I cannot operate the Macbook Pro with the lid closed. As soon as I close the lid, it cuts the signal to the external screen.
I’ve tried looking for previous posts but they’re about MCP’s connecting via Thunderbolt or DVI. Any ideas?

Seems like there may be two separate questions here. Audio working in either configuration and video from HDMI when lid closed. First, you are doing this with the Mac running off of AC, not battery, right?
Audio:
Is the HCMI cable you are using able to carry the audio? Some cables don't.
The only way I've ever used external displays with lid closed is with the thunder port (or DVI) adapter, not with the HDMI. I see the specs from Apple:
HDMI video output
Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
So have you tried varying the screen res to determine the results? I can find no specs regarding what ports remain operational in clamshell. Like you, I would have assumed all of them.
I suspect only the thunderbolt port would support your desired config -- try a thunderbolt/hdmi adapter.
Finally, clamshell mode doesn't allow the MBP to cool efficiently. Heat kills electronics, so if it's too warm or the fans really kick in, you might want to reconsider this setup.

Full HD video via HDMI. Can Satellite A300D-14P do this?

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying Satellite A300D-14P with Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-60 and Radeon Mobility HD 3200 256mb.
Does anybody know if it can deliver full hd (1080i or p) video via its HDMI?
If owners of the subject exist on this forum, may I ask them humbly to try to run any full hd content (preferably h.256)?
Thanks
A

The questions is resolved. GPU takes care of HD decoding according to http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Radeon-HD-3200.9591.0.html
In this case it has nothing to do with CPU. Though I did not get you comment that movies stored on HDD are not of real HD quality. I m now having a couple of 1440x1080p clips on my another laptop and they are of real HD quality, though I cant watch them on notebook LCD screen in real qiality because of low lcd matrix resolution.

Replaying video via HDMI problem N8

If I record a video on my N8, then replay it through my TV via HDMI, the video starts OK, then stutters after maybe 30 seconds and then a message pops up quickly (too quick for me to read) and then the video stops replaying and the phone goes back to the home screen.
I have no idea what is causing it, has anyone else had this or knows of what is causing it?
thanks

Does the same video play normally on the phone without connecting to a TV? Also, is the video stored on E: mass memory drive or F: Memory card? If it's on a memory card, the card may be faulty and might need to be re-formatted. Backup any important files on the SD card then use the phone to re-format the SD card.

Fios with Denon Receiver

I just added a Denon 2310 Receiver to my set up. The unit is supposed to have a HDMI pass thru on stand by. The video passes through, but the audio doesn't. I went through the instructions and set the receiver to TV for sound and turned on the HDMI control. When I put the Denon in stand by the picture and sound go off, a few seconds later the picture and sound on the TV come on for a second or two. The picture and sound go off again, a few seconds later the picture comes on, but no sound. I swapped out the Denon with another to see if it was the receiver. I swapped out the HDMI cables. Is this a problem with my QIP6416? I keep seeing things about the 1.7 software, is that one of the fixes? HELP!!!

I don't think this is an STB problem. Denon's Owner's Manual is a pain to interpret. But are you sure that the HDMI Audio Out setting (under manual setup, HDMI setup) is set to "TV" and not "AMP?" Since you have good video, The symptom you have indicates that this option may be set to "Amp." Or is there a setting on the TV that needs to use the HDMI audio? On my Panasonic TV I have to tell the it that is should use the HDMI audio or it is off (the default on the TV). Just some thoughts.

No Video via HDMI or screen share from MacMini

Hello,
I've had the following setup for over a year now without any problems:
MacMini <HDMI> Denon X2000 AVR
Sony Blue-ray <HDMI> Denon X2000 AVR <HDMI> Sony 55" TV
Cable Box <HDMI> Denon X2000 AVR
Since I don't have a keyboard or mouse for my mini I've setup "Screen Sharing" so I can login from my MacBook and control it as needed.
Everything was fine until a few days ago, I switched inputs from my Cable box over to the Mini and there was no video. I tried "login in" to my mini via my MacBook and I can't see the desktop, it's just a black box. I can however see the 3TB USB 3.0 drive that i have attached to my mini and have access to all my files.
So to recap my Mini starts up, power light comes on, makes the startup sound but I get no video on my TV or in "Screen Share" from my MacBook. I do however have access to my files on my Mini via my MacBook.
Has anyone had this situation before? I've checked all the HDMI cables by taking the one from my Cable box that is working and plugging it into the Mini to no avail. I've also restarted the mini multiple times.

I've got a 2011 Mac mini.
Since I don't have a keyboard or mouse for my mini I've setup "Screen Sharing" so I can login from my MacBook and control it as needed.
Same here! I've been using Screen Sharing to use this mac mini since I purchased it in 2011. I've never had a monitor hooked up to it.
Everything was fine until a few days ago, I switched inputs from my Cable box over to the Mini and there was no video. I tried "login in" to my mini via my MacBook and I can't see the desktop, it's just a black box. I can however see the 3TB USB 3.0 drive that i have attached to my mini and have access to all my files.
A few days ago I connected my 41" Samsung TV to the mac mini using an HDMI cable. Since doing so, I can still connect to the mac mini and browse the mac mini's file system in Finder (Desktop, Applications, Documents, Movies, Music, etc...) but when I click Share Screen... with that mac mini via the Finder (as I've successfully done for years) it just hangs, and eventually I get the message "Connection failed to mac mini... Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer to which you are attempting to connect. Also make sure your network connection is working properly."
So to recap, the only thing at all that's changed on that mac mini was plugging in the HDMI cable to the television. And now I cannot use Share Screen with it.
For what it's worth, I did hard reboot the mac mini and was able to successfully Share Screen. But after going away for most of the day and coming back, now that I try to Share Screen I again get the error message I pasted above.
Any help would be really appreciated. I don't want to have to reboot my mac mini just to Share Screen for a couple hours every time I want to use it.
Edited to add: while I can't Share Screen to that mac mini any more since plugging it in to the tv with the HDMI cable, for what it's worth I can still control iTunes using the Remote app for iOS. I doubt that's too relevant but adding it here just in case.

HT201177 How can I resolve the HDCP issues when playing 1080p video via HDMI to my HDTV?

Palying back any video (iTunes 1080p purchase, Netflix) via the HDMI port results in screen issues on my HDTV. FLickering, odd noises, etc. I did get a HDCP warning but my TV is HDCP compliant. Any ideas? Thanks.

Not that I could find.
The easiest workaround that I could find is a trimmed piece of Black Construction Paper taped over the Mac's display.
Alternatively, you could use an external Mac Compatible Web Cameras and then close the lid, but that is a higher cost option.

Apple TV keeps requiring full reset to output video via HDMI after update..

Never had this problem until after iphone 2 and latest itunes/itv update, but now I have to do a full reset of my Apple TV in order to get video output to work again. Once done, it works fine until I switch to another source and back again, then it again requires this reset. Again, I had never had the problem before the last update with the exact same equipment...
SIAP, but I didn't see anything else listed with the same problems...

I reply to myself, as I found a (however inconvenient) workaround. I have a Samsung LCD, I don't know about you logicguru. Say the Apple TV's HDMI source is HDMI1 and your cable whatever is on HDMI2. So I watch Apple TV on HDMI1, then flip over to another source. Now regularly one would keep pressing source to get back to HDMI1 to get back to Apple TV. Instead, I wait a couple of seconds, hit Menu on the Remote, select the Connections or whatever option at the bottom, go to Source there, and select HDMI1 there. Also, it only works when the Apple TV is in screensaver mode (I have the photo collection scrolling at this time). If I do the way detailed above, there's no problem going back to the white box. I think this can almost be considered as voodoo.

How do I connect a MBP 5.4 to my TV via HDMI WITH Audio

I got 4 different cables/connectors:
Mini display port to HDMI Adaptor
HDMI cable
3.5 mm audio cable
3.5 mm to RCA Audio adaptor
as recommended in this link http://www.macbook2tv.com/
but still get no sound on my TV. Yes, I tryed to change the sound settings but it doesn't show me any other choices than the built-in or headphone?
How do I get the sound to my TV??? Please help!!! THANKS

I make no excuse for the salespeople at the Apple Store (and I don't work for Apple, so my excuses would be lame anyways). However, you cannot expect them to know everything about everything on the Mac. It's an obscure point, and if they were hired during the past year, the MDP to HDMI adapter works perfectly. Think about this: I use my Mac nearly 24/7, use several programs nearly 24/7, and I barely scratch the surface of this device. I use an iPhone 24/7, and I hardly ever drop over there, because there's just too many questions about too many obscure issues.
Again, I'm not sure why you're giving up? This is fixable, it's probably NOT an issue with your Mac or your cables. It's probably an issues with either 1) input setup of your TV, or 2) older TV with an incompatible HDMI firmware (1.1 say). You have everything to make this work, so why are you upset with the Apple folks? You got everything right except the TV setup.

S-Video/Composite Video via VGA with 3rd Party Adapter

As mentioned elsewhere in these discussions, the Mini-DisplayPort on the Aluminum MacBook is different from the eartlier models. The Mini-DP adapters from Apple don't support S-Video or Composite Video, even in combination.
I ordered and just received my Grandtec PC to Video EZ adapter. It is a bit klugey, requiring a USB connect for power but it supports Apple Mini-DP to VGA output and generates both S-Video and Composite (yellow plug) video.
The good news is that it WORKS. A bit pricey - Apple VGA adapter was $29 and the PC to Video from Dobbs Electric was $39.99 + shipping. But, the alternative was unacceptable. It may not be HD but at least I can do my job in a variety of sites where most of the video devices are older.

Dear Popster41,
I found myself in the same situation you were when you posted this. Could you tell me where you found the converter you mentioned?
I appreciate your help,
Erwin

MacBook Pro Connect to TV via HDMI with Toslink...???

So I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) and using a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI will not give any audio. Only MBP (Mid-2010) I did sum research and found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STx9PN7TPoc&feature=related which connects a Audio using a Mini Toslink to Toshlink adapter which is connecting that to a AMP. My question is: If i connect the Toslink to my TV (since I don't have a Amp) Will it still give out audio? I'm a little confused. Any help anyone...??

To Csound's good advice, let me just add that there may be a specific HDMI port on the TV that you must use if you're going to send audio to the TV separately. This should also be explained in the TV's manual.

Hi,
I have following problem.
We use PI 7.1
And i want to send the XI Payload as XML File to an Email Adress.
This is easy when i set the E-Mail adress in the communication Channel.
Is it possible to use dynamic mail receiver adress without Mail Package.
Because when i use mail Package the XML isn't longer in the right structure.
any idea?
regards,
robin

Hi,
i know this way with mail package... as i wrote this is no problem.
My problem is that i have a xml structure which i want to send as email.

Viewing video via firewire with aspect monitor

Hi everyone,
I finally got a monitor with an aspect 16:9 button, and I'm noticing that there are these thin horizontal lines above the picture-- wondering what they are?? two on the left, one in the center, and three on the right... Does anyone know what it means?
-patrick

That is information that is WELL outside the TV safe area and would never show up on a TV. It is in the UNDERSCAN area and it contains information like timecode, closed captioning, SAP, etc.

HDMI and Denon AVR-889

Hi,
I have the Mac mini mid 2011 wth the Intel HD 3000 card and it is hooked up via HDMI to my receiver then from my receiver to my Samsung TV. I have one nagging issue when switching sources, whenever I go back to the Mac mini the screen flickers like 3 times (resolution switching). If I plug the Mac mini HDMI directly to my TV it doesn't occur. What could be the cause and how to fix it? it does it on Snow leopard, lion and mountain lion. Also another irritating bug is sometime out of the blue I hear a loud white noise through my speakers and the screen flickers again, this doesn't happen often but still it's really annoying. Again, if I plug the Mini directly to the TV it doesn't happen.
Thanks in advance.

So, I guess the Mac mini only has the HDTV as its "display." So when the Devon receiver has the HDTV input switched to something else, for the Mac mini, it's like there is NO display connected. When the receiver switches back to the Mac mini, it's like you plugged in a display. That's probably why it does the flickering, because it is receiving information about what type of display just got connected and it's adjusting its output (on-the-fly) to match.
Do you have another Mac? If you do, you can try the following test... On the Mac mini, set up System Preferences Sharing pane to do Screen Sharing. Note the Computer Name shown there.
On the other Mac (assuming it's on the same local network), open a Finder window and find the Mac mini under SHARED (in the sidebar), with the Computer Name noted above. Select the Mac mini there. Over to the right, click on Share Screen, and log in to the Mac mini. The Screen Sharing app opens and shows the Mac mini's screen.
If the Mac mini is connected to the HDTV at that time, it should show the screen as it appears on the HDTV. The question is, if you do screen sharing to the Mac mini when the HDTV is NOT connected, what resolution will be shown on the shared screen... I'm guessing it will be something different than the HDTV screen resolution.
While you are doing screen sharing to the Mac mini with the HDTV is NOT connected, open System Preferences Displays pane Display tab. See if you can set it to the screen resolution to the HDTV screen resolution. That may not be possible, but if you can do it, then the resolution won't change when the receiver switches the connection, so maybe it won't do the flicker thing.

MiniDP to HDMI with audio for Imac bought in february

Hi
I want to know if there is any way I can output videos using HDMI with audio with an Imac bought in februaary 2010? I saw the Moshi cable but apparently it does not support audio for early 2010 macs. Any suggestions or info on this? What could I do?
Thanks.

Hi,
as far as I know there seems to be two versions of that Moshi adapter.
An earlier one without audio and a later one with audio support.
But I don't know how to distinguish one form the other. Maybe the Moshi website can offer some hints.
Since Apple lists the later one in the document plus sells it in their own Store I assume they tested it with the various Mac mentioned in that document.
Regards
Stefan
