          @Coldpaw there's not much info to go by :/

          As you describe it, it could be either a problem with the TV or the receiver.

          What happens if you plug it directly to the TV?

          Have you googled anything with the raspberry pi and that TV or receiver model?

              @Coldpaw Bear in mind an AV receiver will introduce further lag into your system. It's always best to have the Pi plugged directly into an HDMI. Perhaps another device can go via the AV receiver permanently? How many HDMI ports on the new 4K TV btw?
