Just bought a vizio. HDMI won't work with a certain receiver. HALP
 

Dunno what's wrong.

#1 receiver + HDMI cable + Vizio = NO WORK

#1 receiver + HDMI cable + Other TV = WORK

#2 receiver + HDMI cable + Vizio = WORK

I need to use the 1st receiver with the Vizio. Non negotiable.

Could it be some setting on the 1st receiver I need to change? It's outputting at 720p. Vizio is 720p.

1st receiver is also hooked up via component to an older HDTV (720p)

What brand and type of receiver? I assume you'd need to go to the Menu and select HDMI input, especially if it's an older receiver.

A new receiver should default to HDMI.

Any internal settings on your Vizio that need to be changed?

I don't see why, and can't find any.

It worked fine with the 2nd receiver.

The 1st receiver is outputing from HDMI fine (since it works on another TV), it just won't show on the vizio for some stupid reason.

Does the Vizio feature multiple HDMI inputs and if so, have you tried them all?

No, just one. It works fine...with the 2nd receiver.... :banghead:

Same cable for both? Maybe there's a bent pin?

Same cable, tested on two difference receivers and two different TVs. It's fine.

Hmmm, 480i just popped on.

HD channels aren't working.

Have you tried a different resolution on the receiver when it's hooked up to the Vizio other than 720?

Yeah, like I said, 480i comes in just fine.

Check the Fetzer valve.

Sorry, I missed it.

Is it a true HD receiver?

I don't know what this means.

It's a direcTV HD receiver.

Direct TV used to have non-HD receivers.

So, it's outputting 720i and above to your other TV, but only 480i with the Vizio TV?

The Vizio works fine with the newer receiver but not with the older receiver?

Do you have another TV or even an HDMI computer monitor you can test with the old receiver? I'm thinking it needs to be replaced, which is free, if you have the protection plan.
