Does anyone have a jvc receiver model rx-d412b? I just purchased one and I think it is not working correctly. I have my cable box connected to into the component video In 1, labeled vcr/dbs IN and the audio to the audio vcr in. I also have my dvd recorder going into the second component input 2, which is labeled vdr/dvd in and the audio to the audio dvd in. I plugged my headphones in the vcr audio out and the
The source is selected to vcr but I get no sound from the audio output. But if I move
The headphone to the dvd audio out I get sound to the headphones. Vice versa, selecting the source to dvd gives me the audio out on the vcr out. I though at first I
Had the input mixed up, but I check a few times and it is correct. Through the speakers the it works fine, when the source is set to vcr I get the TV sound through the speakers
And selecting the source to dvd I get the dvd sound to the speakers, but the audio output
Are inverted. The other problem, is whatever source I have the receiver selected to, when I turn it on, my TV display, a scepter lcd 1080i, flicker for a few seconds going through
The different resolutions, 480p, 720p and 1080i, not picture, then the picture comes in. It does that every time I turn it on. Any comments? I will greatly appreciate any help or comments.

Your connections are correct, just not sure why you are connecting headphones to the audio out. How are you doing this anyway? Headphones use a 1/4 inch Phone plug. Audio outputs are RCA jacks.

Are you connected to the TV through HDMI? Its probably HDCP handshaking. Either the JVC or your TV is "Scanning" for available picture modes. It may be just how this particular TV works, or how this receiver works. After HDCP is established, turn off the TV, but leave the receiver on. What happens? Do the reverse, turn off the receiver, but leave the TV on. What happens?

You could check the user manual specs. To see if there is something about this.

On most AV receivers, you can set the video source and audio source independently. Consult the users manual for the particular settings, and assign the audio input to the correct video input.

Hi HVQC888,
Thanks for your response. I apologize for not providing enough information.
The only wire out from my receiver to my TV is the HDMI cable.
The reason I am connecting my headphone on the audio out is because if I
Connect it into the headphones banana plug, the speakers will not have any
Sound. The headphone cut off the sound out to the speaker. My wife complains
About the TV sound being to loud. So we what movies together and I need the
Sound out to the speakers when I am using the headphones. To do that, I bought an audio adapter, two male banana plug, red and black (going into the receiver Audio out) merging into one headphone plug. Here is the answer to your questions
A) TURN ON THE TV FIRST THEN THE RECEIVER
• Turning on the TV first, of course it displays the blue screen (1080i)
• Turn on the receiver. About 15 seconds the sound goes to the speakers, than the screen turns green, flicker once and the picture appear.

B) SHUT OFF TV AND LEAVE THE RECEIVER ON
• I waited about 30 seconds and turned the TV back on
• The blue screen comes up after 1 second, then a green screen for about 5 seconds flickering, then the picture comes up

C) TURN OFF THE RECEIVER AND TV STAYS ON
• The TV has now a blue screen and no sound
• Turn receiver back on, sound comes up in about 1 second and the screen goes green and then flickers(green on off) for 2 seconds and the picture comes on.

What puzzles me the most is the audio output being inverted. When the receiver is selected to the VCR source the audio out sound comes out from the DVD audio out.
Vice-Versa, selecting the source to DVD the audio out sound comes from the VCR out.
But to the speaker the sound matches the correct source. I can see that, since the speaker have separate output.

Hmm, still not quite understanding your response.

You said:

"My wife complains about the TV sound being to loud. So we what movies together and I need the sound out to the speakers when I am using the headphones."

So you want to listen through the headphones while playing through the speakers? You can use the tape REC OUT jacks. Then enable the tape "Monitor" function.

Your test on the receiver and TV, seems to confirm that it is HDMI handshaking, so it's a part of how the receiver and TV works, I don't think there is anything that can be done about that. If you want to really confirm, connect the TV using component video cables instead of HDMI, picture should come up right away.

As for your audio problem, everything works properly when the headphones are NOT connected anywhere, yes?

Then try the Tape REC OUT I mentioned above.
