Up until last week, my setup has been a Pioneer SC-LX71 Receiver, paired with a Pioneer KRP-500A Plasma Television and an Optoma HD200x Projector. The devices plugged into the receiver are a PS3, Xbox360 and a Wii-U. I wanted to purchase a brighter projector than the HD200x and one with 3D capabilities, so after looking around I settled on the BenQ W1070.
Almost immediately after replacing the HD200x with the new projector, I started having problems. It began with flickering of the image output from the Receiver, when I tried to automatically set up the video resolution with the PS3. Then no video output whatsoever. The amplifier still works, I can navigate the menus using the OSD on the front and it's still passing through audio. But I can get no video signal out of it.
I was able to replace the amplifier with another to hand, a Denon AVR 1713. This setup was working fine for a few days, until around the same time I believe I tried to automatically set up the resolution with the PS3 again. This produced flickering, followed by total video out failure. Same again, the AVR 1713 still outputs the audio from my sources and i can still navigate the menus. There's just no video output, whatsoever.
This has left me with two AV receivers that can't output video. To make it clear, they literally output no video whatsoever, it's not simply that the sources won't pass through them. I have no idea how this has happened, but the W1070 seems to be the culprit. The W1070 still works perfectly fine however and in the meantime, i'm sending the video directly from my PS3 to the projector and separately i'm sending the audio to the AVR 1713. This is however just a temporary solution and i'd like to properly fix this.
Here are the following things I've tried. I've tried multiple monitors and televisions with both receivers, I've tried different HDMI cables, I've tried following guides to reset the HDMI handshake of the devices and I've tried resetting the AVR 1713 to factory default settings. None of these have produced any results however.
I'd be grateful for any advice anyone could provide for this very unusual problem and thanks for taking the time to read this.
