Hello,
I'm having some trouble getting my Wii's video to come through the receiver. I've read numerous threads on the issue, apparently a fairly common one, to no avail - they confuse me more than anything. I'll explain my setup below and outline a couple of queries. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
I have a BenQ W1070 as my video output connected by HDMI to my Yamaha HTR 2866 receiver. I am using a composite (not component, though I have ordered one) cable to connect the Wii to the receiver.
It is connected to the AV5 port which has L & R audio and video inputs. From this I get only audio. I have tried the video (yellow) cable in the other AV ports with a matching socket, AV3 and AV4, without getting any image. The Wii works fine with the other TVs in the house.
Basically, how can I sort this out? I've seen some threads suggesting I need an analog monitor cable to run from the receiver to the projector because the analog video signal can't be converted to digital, but then I thought that perhaps AV receivers in 2014 would have such a feature? Even if my HTR 2866 is a bit bargain basement... I've boxed in the cables by now without thinking to test the Wii, erg! If I can't run the signal via the HDMI output and need a monitor cable, would it be batter for me to do that or purchase a Wii 2 HDMI converter from Amazon?
Thanks for any advice!
