Connecting xbox through AV Receiver? Issues

Neakailen · Jan 29, 2016

hello

I am try to connect my xbox one through my yamaha rx-v667. It will not work.

I can run my cable through the box then connect it directly to the TV and it works fine (but by passes my surround sound system). When I Move the HDMI to my AV receiver (and change the inputs), I get nothing. No sound. No video. Nothing.

Any ideas?

thanks

Probably a stupid question but can I connect Sky TV to Xbox one then into AV?

Hi all. As the title suggests I am wondering if I can connect my Sky TV into the Xbox One and then the Xbox One into my AV receiver and then listen with headphones through the receiver while gaming? Presume I can, right?

Xbox one s not playing 4K blurays

If the AV Reciever doesn't support 4k pass through that'll be the problem or if the AV receiver isn't HDCP 2.2 compliant. Try connecting the One S directly to the TV's input

Hi

Can you add a bit more information, detail the cabling etc.

Is it like this:-

XBOX ONE --------hdmi cable--------> TV

this works fine, but

XBOX ONE-------hdmi cable---------> Yamaha amp -------hdmi cable-------> TV

doesn't work?

Is it not possible to connect the Xbox to an AV Receiver via HDMI (for audio) and then output HDMI from the AV Receiver to a TV (like discussed in

this thread on another forum)?

I have an older DirecTV HD DVR connected to my Xbox One also and all is working well now.

In order to get it to work, I had to connect the DVR, via HDMI, directly to the Xbox One's HDMI input. The DVR no longer passes through the AV receiver. The AV receiver's HDMI out is now connected to a different input on the TV. Fortunately, my AV receiver,
a Yamaha, turns off and on automatically with the TV, a Sharp, otherwise I don't think that everything would work, but I'm not sure. The optical out from the Xbox is the only connection to the AV receiver for the DirecTV and Xbox audio.

I don't know the details of how CEC over HDMI works, but if it is Ethernet based, you may not need a direct connection between two devices for the commands to reach the right device. For example, since my Xbox one is connected to the TV via HDMI and the
AV receiver is also connected to the TV the same way, the TV could be passing the commands along to all connected devices. If this is the case, you should be able to get your system to function fully as well.

Good luck!

Is the xbox connected directly to the tv or via an AV Receiver?
