Contour 2 / Pace XiD HDMI handshake issues?

When you boot your equipment, all connected devices perform a "handshake" via HDMI for a who's who. If Contour is connected to your AVR, Contour detects the AVR as an audio-only device. Disconnecting and reconnecting probably re-initiates the handshake. It works but after some finagling...sometimes.
It could be a glitch in the AVR, so I'd check for any updates to its firmware.
It appears HDMI-1 on the rear the Denon is only for cable/satellite TV.
If you have HDMI-CEC enabled on your setup for Contour, disable it because Contour...as far as I know...doesn't support it. LG calls HDMI-CEC SimpLink.
Why not just connect Contour to your TV? CATV signals are so heavily compressed, an AVR won't be able to improve it.
What HDCP version does the Contour 2 / Pace XiD have? I just found settings in the Denon to change the HDCP version for each of its inputs.
