Yamaha RXv4600 w/HDMI issues. GUI ?

Howdy. I have a Yammie pre/amp and I have just hooked it up to a Sony 52" 1080p & DirecTv HD and BluRay recorder using the HDMI's. NOW I am not able to enter the setup mode on the Yamaha with the HDMI's hooked up. I get a readout on the amp of "GUI" and the setup goes nowhere. Anyone with some insight on this? Please don't send me to AVSForums or Audiioholics. Been there and their sites will boggle a simple mind like mine. Any body know the answer to get out of the GUI and allow me work the setup? What is the GUI...?
Thanks is advance, John

The yamaha will not pass the gui through the hdmi out. You must hook up one of the other video outs to get it. A composite cable would be the easiest and it probably came with one.

How will I change the input cable choice if I can't get to the setup? Is there a way to change them on the front panel? Please don't tell me I will have to manually change cabeling each time I want to adjust something.
Thanks big time. This HT stuff will drive ya ta drinking earlier than usual...

jSD52756,

Yamaha will only pass set up menu via component. Using a Yammie as a pre pro presently. hook up component cables and problem should correct itself..

Can I keep the HDMI & component cables hooked up simultaniously and jog between the two?
Thanks! John
