May I have the model number of the receiver?

Please shut down the cable box and Yamaha. Unplug them both from AC power for 5 minutes. During this time disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable from both devices. Then plug in the cable box and the receiver. Turn on and let it reboot. Then power on the Yamaha. This in most cases resets the Decoder OFF warning on Yamaha units.
