Some General Tips for Mac Display/HDMI Problems: Granted some Mac mini models have had more than their share of video related problems reported IMO. Although posts/comments are often from Mac Mini owners, I've seen a couple similar reports from iMac owners but I suspect the mini is one of the most popular macs to be used with AVRs as part of a media center setup. Not sure what model/resolution your TV is (or your OS version, mini bootrom current?) but here are some things to check/try off the top of my head.

EFI update released to address that but it didn't help everyone.) Long thread/article on that from late 2012/early 2013.

( 1080P 2012 Samsung ES, Yamaha RX-A2000, also later tested with RX-A3050 Receiver and LG 55EF9500 OLED UHD TV OK, using 2012 Mac Mini with OS X 10.9.5 and EFI/bootrom updated, although I never had the HDMI problems many 2012 mini owners had early on. Annoying but after that, video is stable. I don't have the constantly repeating blackouts on my 2012 Mac Mini/AVR setup, but I do see an initial black screen for a second or two (twice in a row) at initial boot up or wake from sleep. I know your Yamaha is an older Aventage model ( an RX-A2000, 2010 era) but hoping you have some suggestions to try before we return the 2040. (HDMI cable to AVR worked ok with Mini direct connected to TV.) Like others with this problem, I've tried the usual resetting SMC and NVRAM. And one user said the problem does not happen in bootcamp/Windows on his mini, just in OS X. Also assume total HDMI cable run is not extremely long.)Īlong with finding your article, I also saw some owners in apple's support forum with the exact same problem using (2014 series) RX-A1040/2040/3040 receivers - Mac Mini HMDI Chronic HDTV Refresh Problem?, but no resolution yet as of last post on Dec 21st. ( Assuming the AVR to TV video is ok for other things (disc playback, etc), otherwise I'd suggest trying that cable with the mini to TV connection just to ensure it's not a factor.

No problems if directly connecting the mini HDMI to the TV, so the HDMI cable must be OK. The TV's display blacks out for a second or two about every 7 seconds, like clockwork. Our Onkyo failed again and we got a great deal on an 'open box' 2040 that appears unused, which we really like in general but it's been basically useless with the Mac Mini.

(Also note problem is not limited to just Mac mini and Yamaha AVRs.) 'I saw you have a 2012 Mac mini and a Yamaha receiver setup mentioned in an article from a couple years ago ( general tips for OS X surround sound) and want to ask for any ideas about the problem we're seeing with a RX-A2040 replacement receiver. Reader report follows, but see below for lots of notes/tips, info from my tests (OK), Yamaha user manuals, etc. (The original posts, tips and test notes from January 2016 - later updates added below.)
