Can't get HDMI output to work...

[krips]

On my Pioneer VSX-1017 TXV with my new Sharp 42D64U. I ditched the component cable I was running before and picked up a HDMI 1.3 cable. I have it hooked up to the 'out' HDMI port on my receiver, and one of the inlet ports on the TV. I tried selecting the appropriate input on the TV. I still get no picture.
None of the components I have are HDMI capable. Does my receiver not transfer other types of signals to HDMI? Or am I just doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.

A lot of receivers will not send a signal out of a different type out than received. Usually S-video , component and HDMI come out of the receiver the same . That has begun to change in the last year or so. Onkyo has a few that will upscale all inputs to a HDMI output. I believe Denon does , as well. I wasn't able to find this info on yours with a quick google search , but that may well be the problem.

I see. So I really need to have a cable running to the TV to match every type of cable I have running to the receiver then. *tears*
Well, at least I know now. Thanks for the response.

Not so fast! I just found this http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pi...-1017TXV-K.pdf

Looks like it will convert all inputs to component out. The cnet review seems to back up the inability to convert to HDMI , but it looks like a nice receiver. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12760_7-9674077-5.html
