If you are using the remote press the receiver button before changing the input source and see it that helps. It works for me.

That's simple. None. Don't buy it. It's a faulty device full of firmware problems. It never switched properly between HDMI devices properly for me so I returned it.

HDMI 3 solved the "issue" for me - never saw it again once I used that input. I also do have Anynet function turned on and my TV remote controls my Receiver. When I used HDMI 1 and switched source on my receiver, I saw the "STB Button" message all of the the time.

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

You cannot use this for that purpose; this is an "HDMI splitter", which was built to take one HDMI source and output that to a maximum of 4 HDTV's (like in a sports bar). Because what you want is surround sound from all three devices (and without knowing the type of receiver you have) your options are: - If your Receiver has only one or two HDMI inputs - you will need to add a "HDMI Switch", to accommodate all three devices. - If your Receiver has no HDMI inputs - it is better to get a new Receiver with atleast 3 HDMI inputs. - If your Receiver has three or more HDMI inputs - you are fine, just connect your devices to the Receiver. I hope this helps....

Have you paired your source to the receiver? Have you selected the proper input-the adapter?

HDCP is copy protection. I would try another source for HDMI... as it may be working fine and rejecting the content you are attempting to play.

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

I can tell you the problem I had and maybe that will help you decide. I had an HTPC going through a home theater receiver to a projector. Every time, I switched of the receiver or switched from HDMI input to another input, I lost HDMI audio and had to reboot my computer. The GENFEN HDMI detective fixed this problem. What it does is store the EDID information from the target system (i.e. the receiver) and stores it in the detective. Not sure if that's an exact fit for you but could be.

Yes this is a problem I am having with my new system as well, same make and model. I ordered a replacement the other day. Seems to be a problem with the receiver, I wrote about it in my review.

what receiver model do you have? The newest one does not show RGB output, only VGA, HDMI and the modern modes. If your receiver has an RGB output, then it should work. Check your cable connections make sure they are tight, and color codes matching.

I think it's a good question. Yes, the receiver has to be turned on and you have to have the correct input selected. After all, the receiver does a LOT of processing (switching, upconverting) between its inputs and its outputs. It seems unimaginable that there could be a direct link between one of the four HDMI inputs and the HDMI output when the receiver is off. (Sorry!) But I haven't actually tried it, so I'm only giving you an educated guess here (but I'd give 100-to-1 odds on it!).

I have checked online and found out from reviews on CNET.com that this is a recurring problem with this receiver. Some owners have had to replace the hdmi board. Not good. If this is the case, I will no longer purchase any other Onkyo receivers. I was using my PS3 not just for playing games, but watching DVD's & watching Netflix. I have replaced the receiver with a different brand.

You may find that only one digital video output is active at a time, due to copy protection laws. (I know this is true for digital sound, anyway.)If so, perhaps you can find an inexpensive device that will split the DVI so that one can go to the receiver and the other to the TV?

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

I had the same problem. Fixed it using this solution here:http://www.avsforum.com/forum/109-home-theater-box/1481206-help-samsung-ht-e5500-keeps-changing-source-2.html#post23923247

In addition to running your receiver from your HDMI out put to your monitor, run an audio optical cable from your cable/satellite box to your audio input on the receiver, that should fix the problem in all" modes.Rich
