Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Pink ”film” on picture, UHD722

Mama said Apple TV 4K is the devil.

Apple TV + Infuse is pretty cool though!

Things appear to have settled down quite a bit for me too. In a rush of positivity, I'm trying to be happier that it has helped a lot
rather than grumpy that it took over a year to release the update

~M~

Try it on input 5 or 7. There have been a couple of instances where they would not work on any input but 5 or 7. No good reason as to why.

For me it's not so much the wait, but just the complete silence that is bothersome. Any indication that they are aware of issues with the UHD722 or/and a solution is coming Soon TM would be great.

On a different note, has anyone noticed that the UHD722 can pass dolby digital via ARC now since the 1.0.9 update? I was suprised to see diagnorm +4 pop up on the surround processer when i re-enabled it.

Thanks for the FYI regarding ARC, I tried to get ARC working through my UHD722 to my G65 and failed miserably. End up running a long optical cable from the TV to the surround processor. Will try it again when I reflash the UHD722 with the new firmware.

The time has come ... Now my optical cable isn't working ... so I am trying to get ARC working with the UHD722 and the G65. Does anyone has a config file for their working HDMI ARC installation they are willing to send me?

What do you mean when you say failed miserably? Is your UHD722 loaded with the 1.0.9 firmware?

I've loaded the new firmware, failure in this case is lack of audio coming back via ARC to the G65 and then to the DSP speakers. But I have re-read the UHD722 manual and see that ARC only works when CEC is enabled. So I will reflash the config and try it again with CEC enabled.

I'm now getting the "pink film" issue consistently after 15-20 minutes of viewing.

As background, I've been using this setup for years without problems. The only changes have been Apple's tvOS updates (which may be the root cause for this event).

The setup is:

Apple TV >UHD722 (firmware confirmed at 1.09) > JVC DLA-X790R

I've tried the following:
- Moved Apple TV to input 5 on the UHD722 as per Bruce at CMB.
- Reuploaded config to UHD722 and 861v8
- Confirmed that all cables are rated for the appropriate bandwidth

In desperation, and assuming the UHD722 interaction with the Apple TV and projector are the problem, I bought an HDMI splitter hoping to send the video directly from the Apple TV to the projector, and splitting off the audio via a second output to the UHD722. This failed as the splitter wouldn't light up the second output without being connected to an actual video device (i.e. it didn't recognize the UHD722 as being a sufficient connection).

I'd be grateful for any guidance on the following:

1. Has there been any new learnings on this issue? Is there a further UHD722 firmware update beyond 1.09 that addresses this?

if not:

2. Does anyone know of a splitter or splitter/switcher that will pass the audio to the UHD722 even if the UHD722 isn't connected to a video device on the output side? (I'm in the US, so if you know of one that is available in the US, it would be particularly helpful).

Thanks in advance

Looks like the problem is with the projector. Not an M issue after all.
