Why my PC by HDMI send the messege "No signal", but if I turn off the Onkyo and select the "source Mode" the image is passing Through perfec to my TV?

check first the video resolution your PC output or maybe your PC HDMI output are not HDCP compliant, because if not no picture or sounds can get through to your ONKYO TX-NR818

Hard to say from not seeing your connections but your problem seems to be an override of HDMI setup on your computer. If your cabling is correct, and you want to see you PC on your TV through your Onkyo, then you have to switch source everytime you want to use PC or TV. Probably change on your remote for you TV source or the Onkyo. Play with your sources on PC, TV, Onyko, or software. All assumes you have things correctly connected and configured on TV, PC, and Onyko. Good luck.

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

So far in my experience with this receiver the volume does not display onscreen when passing-through HDMI signals. However, it will display if you are upconverting component and composite to HDMI signals. Hope this helps.

I didnt have an issue with mine.You have it the receiver to automatically detect and send audio?Maybe try a different HDMI?

Hi Gerard.I own one of those, and I'm pretty sure that the HDMI inputs don't flow to the HDMI output when the unit is off. Hope it helps.Andy

Hi Eddie.I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great.Greg

I believe that the display port does not output sound like a HDMI port does. You would need to get the sound to the onkyo another way.

If you want picture and sound with the receiver or the 607 turned off, you'll have to connect your source to the television and not use the receiver. HDMI pass through merely implies that the receiver does no processing of it's own on the signal, essentially acting as an HDMI switch. However, the vast majority of receivers must be powered in order to allow the digital signal through

I connect the HDMI output on my computer to the J-Tech and send one output to my receiver and the other to my TV. Works for me. Switch back and forth generally w/o any problems. Very rarely I have to reset the switch by just unplugging and replugging the HDMI cord from my computer. The HDMI output on my computer does not transmit sound, so I can't comment on this aspect. I use the computers' coax and optical outputs for audio.

Mine did this also. I don't have the manual handy, so my terms may be off, but here is my remembrance of the problem. There are settings that detect the HDMI source into the reciever. In the settings somewhere, there is a setting which allows the unit to automatically decide which HDMI source to default to. You need to disable this option. Look in the manual, it's in there.

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.

Try using an HDMI Splitter. Signal from Source through HDMI Splitter, (1) out to HTPC. Voilà!

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.

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

Your HDMI board is bad, likely due to over-heating. Onkyo should repair this for free, $60.00 shipping one way you may have to pay rest, box will be shipped to you. You can hoof it to a Authorized Onkyo repair center, note there are not many.

It switches HDMI cables/signals; so it shouldn't matter what the source of the cable or signal is. I have had no problems with mine.
