  • "HDMI/HDCP issues NOT Denon"
    4.5 stars
    on by jchandlerhall

    Pros: Connectivity, upconversion, room 'tuning' and more

    Cons: can't disable non-used inputs

    Summary: Hey,
    I also am experiencing the HDMI copy protection issues from my cable+DVR settop box into the receiver. I can get the menus, but not the actual 'shows'. It states something about HDCP copy protection - blocked.

    Talked with SciAtl (now a cisco company) tech spt about the issue. They stated that my cable company needs to provide the HDMI software module version 1.1 or greater to support receivers, such as this one. He knew immediately what the issues was. HOWEVER, there is no guarantee that my cable company will provide this, or at least in any timely fashion.

    FYI.

    jchandlerhall's problem is well documented in avsforum. Some cable operators had failed or refused to enable 'HMDI pass thru', which allows for downstream switching of the HDMI signal. After initially looking to blame Denon, it looks like most of the major MSO's have now pushed firmware updates to fix the problem.<br><br>I have a Moto DCT3416i HD DVR box from Comcast and have had no problems passing the HDMI signal thru my Denon AVR-4306.

    I have Cablevision (NJ) service, Scientific Atlanta 4200 HD box, Denon AVR-4306 receiver, Mitsubishi HC5000 projector. I have DVI out of SciAtl box to HDMI in 4306, then HDMI from 4306 to projector. Worked great for the first 5 weeks of the setup!!! Then, a couple of nights ago, I got a flashing DVI/HDMI Copy Protection message (audio was still working). Called Cablevision - many customers reported issue - they must have flashed software to boxes. Workaround is to use component since "that is what Cablevision supports" - pretty bogus response and company position! I now notice some pixellation watching sports via component vs. DVI/HDMI whereas before there was none. Anybody able to figure out a solution? Seems like going component after DVI/HDMI was working well is a step backward.
