home cinema and 4K decoder connection

Question

Hello,  I bought a new Pioneer VSX-933 home theater. I followed the connection instructions: I connected my HD Canal 4K decoder with an HDMI cable to the CBL/SAT input of the home theater. Then, from the HDMI (out) of the home theater, I connected an HDMI cable to my TV input HDMI2 (ARC) (non-4K Panasonic TV). Result: I have sound but no picture, with a message on the screen saying "This content cannot be displayed on your TV. Check the HDMI connection on your HDCP 2.2 compatible TV."  I tried another setup: An HDMI cable from the HD Canal decoder to the non-4K HDMI5 input of the home theater. Then, from the HDMI (out) of the home theater, I connected an HDMI cable to my TV input HDMI1 and then tried with HDMI3: Same result, sound but no picture.  Thank you for your help.  duno91 .

Hello,  Yes, I tried the decoder on the TV via HDMI directly and it works.  TV model: Panasonic TX-P50VT30E  The output from the receiver is HDMI out 4K HDR/HDCP 2.2 ARC and the TV input is HDMI2 ARC. However, while navigating the menu, I don’t see how to configure this ARC function on the TV. I think it’s automatic, isn’t it? I tried HDMI from the decoder to inputs HDMI 5 and 6, which are not 4K on the receiver: there is sound but no image.  Thank you for your response.  duno91

Hello and welcome to this forum,  Have you tried: Decoder on TV via HDMI Amplifier with HDMI ARC output to TV HDMI ARC input, but this function needs to be configured on both the TV and the amplifier What is the full model number of your TV?  I call a spade a spade *      *in French in the text

ARC is not always automatic and personally, I gave up on this option with my LG TV and Denon receiver... almost went crazy... Your TV has a digital optical output, so try connecting it to the optical input of the receiver that you'll need to assign, that's what I did at home and it's perfect, use a quality cable:   -- I call a cat a cat *      *in French in the text

Thank you for your help I have tried several connections without results (even with SPDIF) I will check the manual and reset the amplifier and restart everything  Good evening

Have you configured the optical audio output on the TV?  Sound SPDIF Selection: A standard audio transfer file format Allows you to select the initial setting for the digital audio output signal from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT and HDMI2 (ARC function) terminals [Automatic] / [PCM] [Automatic]: Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, and HE-AAC (48 kHz) signals are output as Dolby Digital Bitstream. MPEG signals are output in PCM. [PCM]: The digital output signal is locked to PCM. • For DVB mode, network video content (p. 100) or the Media Player Video mode (p. 86) • ARC (Audio Return Channel): Digital audio output function via HD cable See page 45 of the manual to download here: https://dlc.panasonic-europe-service.com/EUDocs/GetDoc.aspx?did=198930&fmt=PDF&lang=fr&src=3&uilang=fr-FR&model=TXP50VT30E Click on "view" I call a spade a spade *      *in French in the text

Yes, I configured the SPDIF output of the decoder After trying different connections, I finally managed to get both the picture and sound with the Canal decoder. By connecting the HDMI cable from the Canal decoder to HDMI 1 of the TV + optical cable from the Canal decoder to the optical input of the amplifier. I have trouble understanding this configuration I only have stereo PCM sound and no Dolby sound! I'm half satisfied, but I think the connections will perform better with a 4K TV Thank you for your responses and your help! duno91

But you're welcome, and Dolby sound is not available on all programs; for example, France 3 is only in stereo.   -- I call a spade a spade *      *in French in the text
