Tom, 

Just to confirm all cables are properly connected?  from TV to Receiver? 

Do you have the model number of the receiver? 

Thanks. Any power outage before the problem started?

Have you tried doing a reset to the receiver to see if there's any difference? 

Open up the front lid. It's at the bottom of the S video connector and L+R audio 

Were you able to find it using the picture below? 

are you still there? 

Can you try unplugging it fro the power source and hold down the power button for 20 secs. 

If checking the physical connections, resetting the device, and draining the flea power willnot make any changes to its current status then it will be a hardware failure. It's a board problem and will need a repair the problem will be the part availabilty as this product is no longer manufactured. 

I would recommend buying a new one instead of investing more money to the old device and good thing about a new one is the warranty too.
