Thunderbolt to HDMI not working

[netsuJ]

I'm using my Macbook for my theater and I am having trouble getting the image to project. I have a Thunderbolt to HDMI which I then tried to connect to my receiver. I tested connecting the HDMI directly to the projector and it works, but I want to connect through the receiver and use my speakers. Any tips? Thanks.

This depends on receiver. Model name would be helpful.
If the receiver has HDMI pass-through, then connect hdmi cable from laptop to HDMI-IN on receiver and
HDMI-out from receiver to your projector.
