All of a sudden my Yamaha HTR-4066 surround sound system does not relay the HDMI signal from my Directv receiver to the TV. When I turn on the Yamaha receiver, a message briefly appears, stating "Version error."
If I bypass the Yamaha receiver, connecting the Directv receiver directly to my Samsung TV, I am able to watch TV OK with sound, albeit without surround sound.
I did not change any cable connections. The Directv receiver "out" is plugged into the HDMI2 "in" port of the Yamaha receiver, and the HDMI "out" is connected to the HDMI1 "in" port on the TV, which is selected by remote control. I tried every possible button on the Yamaha remote (HDMI1, HDMI2, etc. and AVI1, AVI2, etc). Selecting HDMI1 used to work. Thinking a port might have become defective, I also tried using the HDMI1 and HDMI3 out ports on the Yamaha to feed a signal to the TV, which shows the message, "No signal...".
I'm wondering if Directv updated its software and now the Yamaha receiver no longer recognizes the TV signal, hence the "Version error" notification. Would the Yamaha HTR-4066 firmware need an update to work? Any ideas of what I might solve the problem?
