HD E1 Compatibiliy with Pio VSX-AX2 AV Reciever

I want to route my HD E1 through my Pio reciever. I have connected it via HDMI and all i get is black. I have Firmware 2.2. My Reciever works switching between PS3 and Sky HD connected up to my PDP 427XD. I am completely Stumped.... I can connect it straight to the PDP and it works. I have also simply swapped the leads round for both the Sky HD and Ps3 knowing that these work and it still doesn't work. what coukd be the problem? What have i not checked?:lease:

What's the model number of the receiver.

I'm assuming it either the Pioneer VSX-AX2AS/VSX-AX4ASi/VSX-LX70 as these are the only three receivers I know of that have 3x/4x HDMI inputs.

Might be clutching at straws here.

Could it be a problem with your HDMI switching? Do you get a pic if the HD E1 is the only thing connected by HDMI?

Sorry, I should have said that it is the VSX AX2AV. My set up basically consists of three HDMI sources SKY HD, PS3 and HD E1 plus BT VT Vision, which i no longer use) Prior to having E1 i had the PS3 connected directly to tv using input 4 and reciever connected to TV (nput 3) with Sky and BT vision connected to the reciever. This worked fine. When i got the E1 i simply substituted V Box with E1 using new Cable. and this did not give me anything. I then connected directly to tv (input 4) E1 in place of PS3 and this worked I then used same input in Reciever to connect PS3 and this worked As such i currently have my Sky and PS3 through reciever and E1 direct to to TV. This would not usually be a problem but the PS3 outputs Blu rays at 1080p 24fps (which TV will except and significantly improves judder) and the reciever will not pass this through so want this source connected straight to tv. Sky and E1 are only 720p/1080i and i am more than happy for these to pass through reciever.

I am completely stumped, surely this can not be an input or switching problem. It surely cant be a cable problem either as same effect occurs using cable which successfull inputs ps3 and the E1's cable works direct to tv? Please this is really annoying me as i am almost certain i am missing something and i don't know what.

I have just brought up the online manual for the VSXAX2AV, it states this receiver has only 3x HDMI, 2 inputs and 1 output. The top two connections are the inputs, the bottom one is the output.

Now the VSX-AX4AXASi has 4xHDMI inputs/1xHDMI output and the VSX-AX2AS has 3xHDMI inputs/1xHDMI output.

Are you sure it's the AX2AV, as I can't see how you have been connecting all sources and still have an output to the display.

As stated i have two sources into the Receiver, PS3 and Sky HD. the E1 at the moment is inputed directly into Plasma which has two HDMI connections itself. The issue is that i want the E1 to take the place of the PS3 as a source into the reciever as i get a better resolution from the PS3 when it is inputed straight into the TV.

Two inputs and one out put on the receiver and two inputs on the plasma... i only have three connected HDMI sources in use two into the reciever outputed to tv and one directly into the tv.
