How have you connected your receiver to the TV? Have you used the HDMI cable?

Customer Replay

Yes connected Xfinity cable box by HDMI cable to receiver CBL HDMI then main output on receiver to HDMI 3 on TV which is its eARC input.

Ok, thank you for the instructions
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

Tried to click on TV’s setup for receiver input and assigned HDMI 3 to receiver.
TV says no signal

Ok, I see
Let's try this way:
On your TV, open Menu> System> Anynet + (HDMI-CEC). Set the Receiver function to On if it is currently off.

Customer Replay

Keep me updated

Customer Replay

It was on.

Ok, got it, thank you
Can you remove all external devices (STB,OTT devices, etc.) connected to the TV, then check again?

Customer Replay

Already did that

Have you tried to disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable?

Customer Replay

Will try and also will try another HDMI input on TV.

Ok, sure, take your time
Don't forget to change the input source on your TV too

Customer Replay

Didn’t make a difference.

Is it still on "no signal"?

Customer Replay

Yes

Please, try to turn off both the receiver and the TV, unplug the TV, and wait for 5 seconds.
Reconnect it back, turn both devices on and check again

Customer Replay

ok

Tell me about the result

Customer Replay

Got signal and receiver no longer says Initial Setup but no sound.

Ok, that's something
Now try this way, please:

  1. Open Menu> Sound> Speaker List.
  2. Select Receiver from the list.
Customer Replay

Ok still no sound.

Got you
Please check If "MUTING" is displayed on the receiver

Customer Replay

Nope

Ok, good
Are there any headphones connected to the receiver or the TV?

Customer Replay

No

Okay, noted
What do you see on the receiver now?

Customer Replay

Says CBL/SAT

Ok, thank you
Please, try to adjust the volume controls on the receiver and try changing the volume on your TV

Customer Replay

Adjusted the volume on receiver to 50.0. When trying to adjust volume on TV it says Receiver and adjust volume of receiver.

Ok, I see
Please, follow the instructions below:

  1. Go into Hardware Setup on your receiver.
  2. Select HDMI
  3. Turn RHID Off, and exit out of the menus completely.
  4. Go back into the menu system and turn RHID back on, exit

completely out of the menus.
