Does this sound like an HDMI issue?

[k-pad]

So, have been facing this problem the last few days:

Prologue:
1. All systems on same power outlet, always on.
2. Turning on TV from remote subsequently turns on the AVR, too.

Issue:
1.These days, the AVR turns on, but TV audio is mute on turn on.
2. Toggling between TV and Audio system on the TV remote does nothing.
3. Unplugging and reseating the HDMI cable does nothing initially.
3a. But if i do the above and switch off-switch on the avr from the denon remote, sound comes back up.

What might be going wrong here?
I think TV works fine, AVR works fine, and there could be an issue with hdmi.

Regards

You can try a different port in the AVR for the HDMI if not done already.
I am no expert but I think since the TV and AVR gets started simultaneously, that might cause this. You can try by powering off the AVR from remote while shutting down the system for the day and powering the AVR on from the remote while turning the system on next time.

Honestly. It is hard to narrow down the issue.

I have faced a similar issue and can reproduce it. Its down to how I power down the equipment when I am done using them.
If by chance, I power down the TV and leave the AVR to turn off later, I run into this issue.

I suggest trying a different HDMI cable as an opt. Don't buy a new one. Just try reusing another cable you have or borrow one.

Suggest regularly power cycle your devices - ie switch power off from the outlet.

Try and see if that helps.

Maybe hooking up the TV and AVR to separate power outlet may resolve most of your issues.

However, do look at the settings as mentioned in this url:
