Has there been any problems with the HDMI inputs going out on the Apex LD4088 when connected to Direct TV?

My HDMI inputs quit on the audio side a few weeks ago. I had a Blu-ray and a streaming box connected. Flipping the main power switch on the back of the set off and on again cured this. Hope this helps.

Replacing the HDMI cable I was using (one that came with a video card) with a new High Speed Monster Cable fixed my problem as described below instantly.I have noticed that ours has recently started this behavior as well. Additionally, our XBox 360 is connected directly to the TV, and when using the ARC, the sound dropout is nearly continuous. I wonder if there may be a problem with the HDMI cable going from the receiver to the TV, but I haven't had a chance to try getting a new cable and see if that is in fact the problem.

What sources do you have it connected to (cable box, blu ray player, av receiver, etc)? Does this occur on each source? Has this occured starting when you first used the tv or is it new? Without knowing any other details ensure your cables (likely hdmi) are secured on both ends.

I've been using mine rather heavily since March 2013... zero problems with the sub (and I think my neighbors would agree with that statement). I've had problems with intermittent audio drops when running optical out from my TV to the Onkyo; however, I rewired using all HDMI and it seems to have resolved that issue - unsure whether that was an 'onkyo problem' or a 'vizio problem', but rewiring fixed it either way.

I'm having the same problem. No issues with the component connection, but problems with the HDMI connection. It sometimes shows fine and sometimes shows no signal (or takes 10-15 seconds to change channel). It is perfect with the Component connection.Like the others here I have a Samsung HD Cable box from Time Warner.

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.

I've got one of these hooked up to my DirecTV HD DVR and I have no problems at all.

None that I've noticed. I run Direct TV, Roku and a DVD player through it without any problems.

I have Sabrent HDMI connected up too S-Video in from a Laser Disc player too HDMI out too LED flat screen TV and the color is just fine . If this individual says they only get black and white it's possible they have a bad unit and should return it . If it were me I would try connecting a different input device first .

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

I do not have that issue. My installation uses the optical cable connected directly to the TV.

Have not had that issue. I have an issue with a 3D TV where the HDMI handshake on the TV end is problematic. It's mainly an annoyance as I can either delay turning on the cable box until the TV is fully up or just turn the cable box off and back on. Other than that it works fine. I would suggest trying another HDMI input device if you can for a test to eliminate any issues with your current device and try a different cable for the input. If you have more than one output device connected start with just a single output device until you have it working solidly. Also make sure that the power adapter if firmly plugged in. If the power LED also comes and goes then it might be power related. If you have another power adapter with the same plug size and polarity you might try that just to eliminate any power issues. The vendor was very responsive (as was Amazon's tech support) with troubleshooting my HDMI handshake issue so try them too.

I have a one hundred foot HDMI cable under my house to my bedroom right now that I purchased from amazon for relatively cheap and I have no issue with it. The only issue I have had with this is when I turn off my PS4 then turn on the other device which is in input 1, I have to go to this box (switcher) and push the button. From the first input to the ps4 it does it on its own but never the other way. It was the same when I had the 360 plugged into the same slot also. Thanks, Tim

I too have a Philips 42" monitor. Have you tried moving the HDMI cable directly to the monitor just as a test? I have seen the same issue here but I am connected though component video at the moment and was hoping to resolve the issue by using the DVI input on my monitor.

I have not had any problems so far and the receiver runs about 6 hrs a day. I hope I never have any HDMI problems
