My laptop is hooked to my reciever with an hdmi my reciever is hooked to my tv no audio or video.?
Toshiba laptop hooked up to a yamaha reciever with an hdmi cable, the reciever is hooked up with a red yellow white av cable to my tv. I am getting no sound or video at all. Its a 52 inch rear projection tv. Why is this stupid garbage not working?
Thank you matt, i figured it wasn't able to convert the signal which is retarded because thats what a reciever is, a big converter. But big corporate america wants us to spend our money every year in getting new ****. The reciever is a 1 year old yamaha rx-v465. bought it in dec 2009 for a christmass present. The tv however doesn't have an hdmi hook up, it's rear projection not hd.

You are sending HD digital video from the laptop to the receiver. The receiver appears to not be able to downsample the video to analog 480i for transmission through the composite AV cable (yellow-red-white).
Connect the receiver to the TV with an HDMI cable instead, that should allow the audio and video to play.
