Hi,

I originally posted this in the Toshiba 72MX195 owners thread but I thought I would move it out here for a wider audience. I'm unclear if this is a Tsohiba, issue, PS3 issue, an HDMI issue or something else!

I've had some strange behaviour lately with my 72MX195 power cycling itself. Hoping some of you may have some insight into what is happening and more importantly if there is something I can do about it!

I have a Satellite PVR connected to my pre/pro via HDMI and HDMI from the pre/pro to the TV. I also have a PS3 connected to the pre/pro via HDMI.

On power up of the satellite box, pre/pro and TV I initially get sound and picture, then it blanks out for a few seconds, audio drops out then both re-appear. If I immediately change the channel from SD to HD or vice versa the TV power cycles itself. If instead I wait a few minutes before changing channels there is no issue.

Similar issue with the PS 3. I put in a Blu-Ray disc and the DVD menus appeared just fine. I selected my audio output with no issue. I then hit play DVD and the TV power cycled itself before eventually resuming play. After the power cycle I went back to the main menu, checked the audio output and hit play again and this time there was no issue.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Any clue what I can do about it? I'm concerned with all the power cycling and the infamous bulb longevity (I'm on my 2nd bulb and fear this will burn it out quite rapidly).

For completeness, here is my setup:

Toshiba 72MX195 (no firmware changes ever)
Anthem AVM-40 (upgraded to latest firmware)
SONY PS-3 80G
Bell Expressvu 9200 PVR
no name brand HDMI cables


Many Thanks!
