It doesn't look like th HDMI connection is losing sync because the display on the reciever doesn't change during the dropout. I tried a different cable without change; although they are both monoprice cables. Any suggestions? Someone in the Marantz thread said they had the same problem with this player with both Bitstreaming and LPCM; what's everyone else's experiance? Is there a bug with this player and the HD codecs/HDMI?

The only things the 55 adds are DivX support, multichannel analog out, digital coax out and the supposedly improved analog output section (which if you're using HDMI, is irrelevant to you anyway).

I have the BD player running into a Sony Receiver.

I had a PS3 and it was able to display 24p, so I know my TV can handle it. How can I get this setting turned on the BD35?

Thanks.

Connect the player direct to your monitor and see how that goes.

This has to be something with the BD player. As I said, the PS3 worked fine.

Sounds like this needs to go back

Since the BD-35 already has DTS-HD MASTER AUDIO decoding abilites built into it, I am wondering why I would need to purchase a receiver, that also does this? Pros and Cons? Also, would any quality reciever that has HDMI inputs and outputs accept the coded DTS-HD Master audio and do a good job with it? You see, I really don't want to spend the extra $ and pay for HD Master Audio twice if if don't need to. Would someone please elaborate for me and possibly reccomend a few receivers / speakers? Thank you all very much. This was my first post in this forum.

Newbie here who needs some serious help.

I was messsing around with my set up on my Panny Blu-Ray last night. I was in the Setup mode looking to see how the Display was set up. Under the HDMI connection I drilled down to the various resolution settings. There were several picks different than the Auto mode which was what the player was setup for.

Under the different resolution choices there werre astericks beside everything escept 1081i. Well I tried the 1080i and now I have a problem. When I exit the Setup mode I get a "No Signal" and a black screen on my Panasonic THK display.

The major issue is now when I try to get back into Setup mode the Panny display always has the black screen with the "No Signal" on it. I know the Blu-Ray player is working because it has "SETUP" on the player display yet I only have the black screen.

Any ideas? I got a disappointed 3 yr old who is wanting to watcj her new Wally DVD this morning.

Thnaks,
Dave
