ennessex Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hey guys, my HK 525 receiver finally came and I am having a little problem accessing my on screen menu and display system. Basically what I did was connect my receiver (monitor) using component cables to my TV (component-in) and I thought that would enable me to see the on screen menu....Well that didn't work and I'm stumped why it won't work. If you guys have any pointers on what I'm doing wrong...feel free to advise. Thanks in advance. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I'm not sure but maybe the component output won't carry onscreen.Try s vid or composit and maybe m00n will show up,he's an HK man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggs Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Might be a stupid question, but did you switch the TV to view the component input? (thought I'd ask, you never know.) Also, on my Denon it has a MONITOR single RCA jack for the soul purpose of the onscreen hookup to the TV. See if you have something similar. Also, my Denon won't display anything til I hit the menu button on the remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ennessex Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Thanks fish, it actually worked with video cables. Still curious tho why component cables wouldn't work. And yes, video was selected for component input. Sam New HK sounds good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Glad you got it going,its usually be best to run dvd(component) straight to tv,unless you have several sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggs Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Glad to hear you got it to work. I also think it's odd the component output couldn't output the on screen display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dblue Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Yep, Neither my old Denon 2802 nor my new AVR525 would display the OSD via component. Not sure why, but it's one thing that is slightly annoying. Both state it in the instruction manual though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 I'm here finally. I kinda skimmed over the posts but did see that you were able to get it figured out. On the 520, I know there is a single RCA plug called Monitor or something like that, that is what I use for my source. The press the OSD button and wala.

Doug ---------------- LOL, my Denon doesn't even HAVE component inputs/outputs. Yeah, I'm a little behind the times. The TV doesn't have them either, so no big loss.
