I have a new Vu duo and have installed OpenVix 3.0.808. The output will only display on a single TV. I have the video output set to YPbPr, 1 tv connected with HDMI and 1 with RWY phono cables. The vix image displays on both screens when booting and then switches to the HDMI TV only.

I am new to this, so you will probably need to be quite specific in your answer

Hi,
set output to CVBS and try with the yellow connector alone. This is how I connected my Duo2 with a second monitor. I never tried YUV and HDMI at the same time.

Thanks for the reply. The only settings in Setup, system, A/V Settings, Video output are:

YPbPr
Scart
HDMI
Scart-YPbPr

I have tried it on all settings

Have you tried rebooting the receiver after changing the mode from one to another ?.

That should work. I have no idea why it doesn't work for you, as this is not setting dependant.

Thanks, I have rebooted in between each change. It displays on both screens when Vix is loading, as soon as the spinning VIX logo appears in the top left, the second screen goes off.

 

[Larry-G]

Then i think it's time for a reflash without a settings restore to see if its a issue with a virgin image, maybe even try another build too just incase.

 

[themaster]

Thanks.

Any recommended image version?

Do I just drop it on USB as the previous install?

 

[Larry-G]

There is a flashing tutorial available from the guides and tutorials section on www.openvix.co.uk for this receiver. I would try build 808 again just to see if it is still present in a fresh clean flash, then try a earlier build if necessary.

So that is at the moment E2 takes over the control of the screen.
How is that second screen (the one that goes black) connected? Make sure that screen is compatible with the selected output
for that connection.

Thanks, it's connected with a coax via an rf modulator. I have re-flashed with image 3.0.796 and the same issue. This occurs before any other packages are installed

Hi,
is your 2nd TV also HD but only connected with YUV? If it is not HD then I think you cannot use it because YUV is also capable of HD and uses the same resolution as HDMI afaik. When you switch to SCART and select CVBS you can use the yellow video out.

And how is that RF-modulator connected? If via scart make sure scart is set to CVBS.

 

[themaster]

Thanks for the responses, here's what I have done so far (problem persists)

Reloaded same image without backing up settings.
Reloaded older version of Vix (3.0.796)
Loaded Blackhole

So it would seem none Vix related!

Any ideas on next steps?

 

[Rob van der Does]

You didn't answer

And how is that RF-modulator connected? If via scart make sure scart is set to CVBS.

 

[themaster]

Apologies the modulator is connected via an rf (coax) cable. I have just tried the settings Scart, CVBS and still no output. I also tried it on Scart, RGB.

 

[themaster]

Here is the complete cable set up:

HDMI > TV1
Scart > YRW Cables > RF Modulator > Coax > TV2

Did you choose PAL or NTSC i.a.w. the capabilities of the connected TV in the Scart-settings?
You might also try to change the setting of WSS on 4:3 (although I doubt if that makes any difference).

Hi,
why scart adapter? You can use the YRW cinch connectors directly.

Tried both, just as a different approach!
