Yamaha HTR-6050 Set Up Question?

Question

Please help!

My cable comes to the receiver through HDMI and goes out the receiver to my projector through HDMI as well - both sound and video work great!

I have an Xbox and DVD player hooked up to the receiver through component cables. The sound works great but there's no image on the screen.

Do I need to run component cables from the receiver to the projector in addition to the HDMI I've already connected?

I appreciate any help!

Answer 1

Are you sure you have hooked up component cables?

And not composite cables.

If you were to hook up component cables you should have a picture or video and no sound.

But if you hooked up composite cables then you would have sound and no picture or video.

Regardless what you have not done is hooked up your video signal  from your Xbox  and DVD player.

So you must hook up your video signal from both devices to your TV directly either through a S-video or composite (yellow).

Then you should have both video and audio from your Xbox and DVD player.

Answer 2

Yes. Unfortunately, your model of Yamaha receiver does not support upconverting to HDMI signal quality. On the back of your receiver, simply sun a component cable to the projector. Also, just FYI your receiver will upconvert your coax and RCA signal to Component. That way you can input a VCR directly to your receiver, and it will upconvert to Component quality. I must admit myself this upconversion is not great, but it simplifies hooking up a VCR, if necessary. Invest in some professional component cables if the distance is great. Good Luck!!

Answer 3

In short yes, that receiver does not have the ability to switch component through the hdmi output. Now if you want to keep the clean single cable hook-up, you will have to get a different Yamaha. Try the 6080 or 6090. It will cost a bit more but running another set of cables to a mounted projector is a pain in the a$$. Unless you dont have it mounted or have easy access to your projector.
