TV/Receiver/PS4 Problem
I just purchased a PS4 today, I got it home and plugged in and all I have been able to get is sound but no picture. I have the PS4 plugged into the receiver via HDMI and the receiver is plugged into the TV via HD RCA cables.
The question for me is this a problem with receiver/tv settings or do I need to have an HDMI cable going from the TV to the receiver? Thanks for any tips anyone can offer. Drew |

It could be a sound setting issue. Or you could try running the HDMI instead of the RCA. But it's most likely a setting issue.

You can't convert HDMI to anything but HDMI. You need to connect the receiver to the TV with an HDMI cable. The reason is that HDMI includes DRM that requires a "handshake" between parties before data is transmitted. Since the PS4 can't see anyone on the other end that is video capable it only outputs audio.

Do you have a surround receive w just one hdmi going to TV? It should all auto configure. Everything into receiver then one hdmi to TV.

Glad you got it worked out. Hope you didn't buy Monster HDMI cables.
