Panasonic EH55S was working just fine yesterday. Today there is no TV video just audio. Its been hooked up to a HD cable box via both HDMI and Component Video and was working just find until today. I can get the TVGOS on screen just fine, I can play a DVD just fine but NO TV Video. I tried switching the TV to Component Video with EH55S and still no picture just sound.

Could there be a problem with the video outputs (both HDMI and Component) on the EH55S?

If you can play a DVD, then the outputs are not the problem. It is the input that is not working. This is either the recorder, the cable box, or the cable between the two.

The EH55 does not have an HDMI in, so how can you have the recorder connected to the cable box using HDMI?

I think you need to explain this more clearly, becasue I am not sure what is connected to what and how, and exactly what is not working.

My mistake. It is connected to the cable box via component video (input to EH55S) but I have the output as HDMI from EH55S to TV.

P.S. I'm thinking it is the component video inputs on the EH55S that's the problem. I just rememberd a while back that occasionally the picture would go out and I would have to adjust the component video inputs and the picture would came back.

I have info for the TVGOS connected at IN3 as instructed in the manual.

That still can't be correct because the EH55 doesn't have component inputs. You must have the video connected via the composite video input.

Once again I meant to say component video outputs.

Here's what happened. I switched FROM a regular digital cable box to a HD cable box 3 months ago. I had outputs FROM the HD cable box using HDMI, Component and S-Video hooked up to various components. Component video and S-Video were both going to the Panasonic EH55S. All this time I thought I was feeding the Panasonic with Component Video from the HD cable box, whe it was actually the S-Video sending the picture.

The S-Video cable had become disconnected causing the problem I mentioned. Once I plugged the S-Video cable back in the problem was solved.

After reading the manual for the HD Cable box, I realized that it will only send HDMI OR Component Video OUT not BOTH...thus it was th S-Video feeding the EH55S.

Again, there is no component (red, green, blue) video input on a DMR-EH55. There are composite (yellow) and S-Video inputs on a DMR-EH55.

I know there are no component video INPUTS on the EH55S, I simply made a mistake when stating that. I was confusing the component video OUTPUT on the EH55S as input. Simply looking at the red, green and blue connectors I automatically thought of INPUT rather than OUTPUT.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
