I have a new av receiver it cannot detect the Vodafone TV unit, it can detect my game unit/dvd/blu ray player but not the Vodafone TV unit. The error message on the TV is the content cannot be displayed

any ideas, please very frustrating

Hi @Laurence1979

What is the make/model of the A/V receiver and your TV?

Cheers,

Grant

AV receiver Pioneer vsx832 - connected to LG TV

the other devices show on the tv through the av receiver

Have tried different cables to no avail

I believe I know what the issue is. To confirm, can you please tell me the TV model number.

Hi Grant - LG 50PK750 plasma tv

[grantt · Accepted solution]

Thanks.

As your Pioneer is 4K capable it is handshaking 4K over HDCp with the set top box.  Your Pioneer only supports 4K pass through (it does not down convert to HD) and your tv, plugged into the Pioneer, is only HD capable. The message displayed on the TV is being generated by the Pioneer.

Some options to try:

1. Find a HDMI cable not capable of HDCP 2.x and use between the STB and Pioneer
2. Use Optical out of the STB and plug HDMI into the TV direct 
3. Buy a 4K capable TV to replace the LG (a late Xmas gift to yourself?) 😀

Cheers,

Grant

ok thanks for the info

if I look at the specs for the stb it says only outputing HDCP 1.x

buying a 4k TV is n expensive way to prove the problem, how sure are you this will work?

thanks

Oh got it the problem is the tv and the hdcp encryption that isn’t supported

I think I may have the same issue.

Vodafone just sent me the most up to date Vftv box and I swapped it over and get the hdcp 2.2 error telling me to plug in to a hdcp 2.2 input on my tv but suspect the tv is too old for be capable of 4K? It’s a Samsung UA40H6300 and it all runs through a Sony str-dn860 receiver which i think is 4K pass through only??
