Why is my Pioneer Elite VSX lx104 not working?
Initially, the IPTV FIOS box worked in initial testing but once I connected a Bu-Ray player the audio stopped working on all sources. I isolated the problem to HDCP 2.2- which is usually the problem on any system which has it. I stripped the HDCP signal from the HDMI chain and got the disk player going, but IPTV was only picture and no audio.

If you never intend to use ARC or have audio pass to the TV while the receiver is off, then turning off CEC should fix this issue.
