frustrated w/Yamaha HTR 6230 receiver

snash · 09-27-2009, 09:10 PM

I have a Samsung 42 inch plasma tv, Samsung BD 1600 Blue Ray player, and a Yamaha HTR 6230 Home theatre system. Today I activated my instant netflix through my Blue Ray via the required USB adapter. Initially, I had trouble getting any sound and then adjusted the audio set-up and it worked fine. However, when I switched back toTV/HDMI mode, my Yamaha HTR 630 receiver/surround sound is not putting out any sound. I can get sound through my TV, but not through the home theatre speakers. I have tried everything and can't get it to work. Please help!

Not sure how you have it connected.... I have a Yamaha V663 a/v receiver but I have the Comcast cable connected directly to the TV and have an optical audio cable out going back to the Yamaha. So the HDMI doesn't get used at all for TV mode. HDMI feeds the BluRay player and DVR into the TV when the Yamaha is switched to either of those. The Yamaha then plays whatever sound is on the program the TV is playing. No such thing as "TV/HDMI" at least on mine.....

BTW, how does the Netflix streaming work? I have a Samsung BD player but have not yet activated my trial. I think they only have about a fifth of their titles available? I'd like to see that broadened before I sign up.

Just to put my 2 cents in...My Roku player wirelessly streams Netflix high def content through my Yamaha HTR 6130 receiver's HDMI port beautifully, although not without an occasional hiccup.
