Blog - Correcting HDMI Handshaking Issues with Windows Media Center and Onkyo Receivers

I don’t  know if anyone else has experienced this annoyance, but whenever I switch to the input on my Onkyo receiver (TX-SR607) associated with my HTPC and Windows Media Center is already running, the resolution and aspect ratio get fouled up. Everything is  much larger than I want it to be and  TV playback from my Ceton Infinitv4 does not work. Previously, the only fix was to close Media Center and open it back up.  I needed a cleaner solution.
 
Fix:
 
- Turn off HTPC. Shut it down and leave it turned off.
 
- Go to the input on  the Onkyo for your HTPC
 
- Press the Receiver button then the Video button on the Onkyo Remote,
 
- Change Resolution to Through (this will pass signal as is from HTPC to TV)

 


What you should see on your Onkyo receiver when you are changing the resolution

- Turn back on HTPC

Now the resolution and aspect ratio are correct when you switch to this input and WMC is running.
