I bought both a new TV and receiver for Xmas and was really hoping to de-cable and maintain a single HDMI connection from my new TV to the new receiver. Everything (Xbox One, Xbox 360, cable box, Apple TV) etc. has worked flawlessly. The only device I can not get to function properly or at least the way I want it to is my son's Wii (not Wii U). I bought an HDMI converter (converts composite connections to HDMI) from Monoprice and it seems to be working at some level. If I connect the new HDMI cable from the Wii directly to the TV's HDMI input, I get both video and sound from TV's speakers. When I make this HDMI connection through my receiver however, I can not get sound when using an HDMI port (I used DVD) but I get video. My receiver has both HDMI and analog inputs for DVD. I even took a standard three end RCA connection (yellow video plus the two audio) and connected it directly to the TV and this works providing both video and sound. I then connected this to the analog DVD input on my receiver and I get sound but no video.
For some reason, the receiver just doesn't seem to want to convert everything that it should when using the Wii but the TV works just fine. I had hoped obviously to just use a single HDMI input on my TV.
The receiver is a Pioneer VSX-824-k and the TV is a Samsung UN48H6350AFXZA LED Smart TV. The receiver itself does not half composite connection input (five cables) or I could go this route.
Again. Direct connections to the TV work with the Wii, either HDMI or three cable (video and two audio) but through the receiver either no sound when using HDMI or no video when using the standard three input connection.
Any thoughts and help would be much appreciated.
