Is it too bright if you hook it directly to the TV, bypassing the Denon? If it looks ok going directly to the TV then the HR unit is probably not at fault. If it is bright going directly to the TV, then you may have a problem with the HR unit.
HR20-700 on HDMI too bright
I just upgrade my receiver (Denon 889) and now am running 4 of my 5 components by HDMI including the HR20-700. All the other devices look great going through the HDMI but the HR20 is too bright. Blacks are faded and the overall brightness if just too much. When I run it component video it looks perfect like before.
Is there an HDMI adjustment that I can make to fix this? Any help would be great. I would prefer to keep it running on HDMI but if I can't fix it I will have to switch back to component.

Have you adjusted your TV's settings so that they are way down from full on brightness and contrast, as that is how most tvs are set out of the box. And what other sources are you watching through your HDMI connections? Is it a top end DVD player? Does it have adjustments to change brightness and contrast? If so, Set your tv correctly for the HR20 and then adjust the other units individually, and you should be good. Not saying thats whats happening, but it could be...
It is the same when it is hooked to the TV with HDMI as through the Denon Receiver. (Too bright)LarryFlowers said:Is it too bright if you hook it directly to the TV, bypassing the Denon?

The other sources that all are working great on HDMI connections are PS3, TVIX M6500A, and Apple TV.inkahauts said:Except we don't know what the other units are and what what he has adjusted all his setting to...

The TV settings have not changed since I set it up 2.5 years ago. The only change was going from Component video to HDMI on these devices. I have used the HDMI on the TV before and it is the same as the component inputs as far as brightness.
The HDMI output is completely digital, so I don't see how the brightness and contrast values of the file on disk can be altered, but maybe there's something I'm missing about how the HDMI signal is processed by the HR?
How does the component output from the HR look compared to the HDMI? Before you check, make sure your TV's component input brightness/contrast settings are the same as the HDMI's. (Some displays have different "picture memories" for each input). /steve

You might want to make a recording of the HDNET Test Pattern broadcast on channel 306 on Saturday morning at 10:00AM eastern and use this to set your tv brightness and contrast levels.
I was using the component through the receiver (It upconverts the signal from component to HDMI) and it works perfect just like before when I ran the HR20 through component. When I run straight HDMI to the TV ot receiver it has the brightness issue.Steve said:The HDMI output is completely digital, so I don't see how the brightness and contrast values of the file on disk can be altered, but maybe there's something I'm missing about how the HDMI signal is processed by the HR?

My receiver has an HDMI enhancement option (RGB Range) I will try this since it says it can eliminate the black washout.
