Problem with home theater system
System:
Samsung PNG64F8500 Plasma TV
Sony STR-DA1800ES Receiver
Xfinity XG1-A DVR
Panasonic DVD-S38 dvd player for PAL DVDs
Sony BDP-S380 Blu-ray player
Universal Remote – Logitech Harmony 650
All output to TV goes through Sony Receiver
Connection from receiver to TV is HDMI
The problem – Sometimes when the system is turned on no signal goes to the TV, I get sound through the surround sound speakers but only get a message from the TV that there is no connection and be sure that the input is on HDMI1. I don’t know what triggers the problem as it seems random. I have tried shutting down and restarting, changing the input, turning off the power to everything but the TV. Nothing works except when I turn off the power to the TV which means turning off the circuit breaker because the TV is wall mounted with the power plug in back of the TV. If the TV is off for more than 10 seconds the system will then work normally until the next random event. The HDMI cable is also through the wall which makes changing it difficult and expensive but I have done that 3 times without solving the problem. Is the problem with the TV, the output from the receiver, the remote, the HDMI cable, or something else?
