    I connected my satellite box and it can be seen. I connected my ps3 and it can be seen but i connected my pc and it cannot be seen? Is this receiver not supposed to view pc signals? Let me know guys, thanks!

    Here is the manual for it.According to the manual it doesn't say anything about connecting a computer to it.If your computer has an HDMI output it may work on one of the inputs but it doesn't show anything in the manual.

    Ok lemme see if I understand you correctly. You mean connect my pc to the game input on receiver and then do a dual display mode from my pc's tv to my 55' tv? Then turn off hdmi control on my tv? I think I turned off hdmi control on my tv I'd have to check. Please let me know if Im on the right track! Thanks!

    Now i get something else weird. When i play playstation 3, the image just goes blank after a while when i try to play emulators or a game? Its like it doesnt recognize the output? It streams movies fine through playstation media serve. What can this be? I switched the hdmi cable and it gave me the same problem?

    Ok, riddle me this batmans. lol jk This is weird so, when said problem happens, I tried switching with quick select over to my satellite box input and it can be viewed. Once I switch over again with quick select back to the ps3 it can be viewed again. Weird, huh. I'm ULTRA new to the receiver scene so any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    I have my ps3 hacked and I'm noticing that when I select movies off playstation media server it never goes blank and I've selected multiple movies without a hiccup. But when I select multiman or any emulator before it reaches it respected window it blacks out. Could it be a emulator multiman thing regarding its resolution or some shi*? I'm reaching I know but I have no clue wtf is going on.

    Ok thanks man. Ive just done my own experimenting and it seems to be only happening when i select emulators or third party apps (multiman).... i selected a game to load about 6-7 times in a row and it never goes blank. I did the same thing with multiman and emulator and it would eventually black out. I will try bypassing receiver later but im starting to think it has something to do with the third party apps. It really a quick fix i just hit quick select back and forth and im back up but i wanna solve this.

    ok, turning off the hdmi control on the receiver removed the standby option. Turning it back on fixed this. I bought this receiver with the standby passthrough option in mind so ima turn hdmi control back on. Ima test now the pc problem i was having again soon. Ima just assume the ps3 problem is the emulators and third party apps. lol
