(I'll probably get my wrist slapped for this question, cause it's probably been addressed before, but my search didn't show anything, so here goes....)
I've got an Onkyo TX-SR605 receiver with two video sources (HDMI). 1) Comcast Dual Tuner DVR box by Motorola and 2) Onkyo 6-Disk DVD Changer model DV-CP704.
When I connect both sources to the incoming HDMI inputs of the Onkyo receiver and try to send the signal to the 50" Sony professional plasma display, nothing appears. I'm familiar with the Onkyo amp setup screens and have properly configured all the video and audio sources.
If the Comcast or DVD component is connected directly to the plasma, the image appears without any issues. But as soon as I try to use the Onkyo TX-SR605 to perform the video switching, it chokes....no signal to the TV. The receiver says "no hdmi signal", etc.
Any tips?
My client's plasma has limited input options (just 1 composite video and 1 DVD video connector), so I sold him on the concept and ease of using the Onkyo amp for HDMI switching purposes. Now I'm starting to wonder what I've gotten myself into. I'm obviously using an HDMI to DVI adapter at the back of the TV. The HDMI cable that I ran from the receiver (in a closet about 10ft away) to the plasma is UL listed 24awg, etc.

Thanks in advance !
