Panasonic TH-50PZ80U issues with Sony CT100 and PS3. Display issues anyone???

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I have a Panasonic TH-50PZ80U, a cable DVR, and a ps3 (both connected directly via HDMI) that all works fine. I recently purchased a Sony ct100 soundbar and now run the ps3(and DVR) to the receiver each via HDMI. Now when I toggle inputs on the Sony receiver from DVR back to the ps3, often the ps3 display is all jacked up. The skin tones are blue, things that should be blue are pink, and there is a pink vertical line running the length of the right side of the screen. If I swap back to the DVR input (the DVR input is never a problem) on the ct100 and then back to the ps3, it is often fixed. I've tried 2 different ps3 consoles and received the same results and returned the Sony ct100 for a replacement which does the same thing as well. When the ps3 is connected directly to the same input on the TV it's fine... I've tried all new HDMI cables and every HDMI input on both the TV and the sony receiver. Panasonic tells me they think the Sony Soundbar is incompatible or to try 1080i instead of 1080p even thought all 3 components support 1080p. I'll try that but was curious if anyone has this exact combo and no issues.

Actually, I'm having the exact same issue - different but similar hardware. Ps3 (60gb), Sony STR-DG720 Receiver, Panasonic TH-C50FD18 Plasma TV - using old 5.1 speakers.

I thought it was a bad HDMI cable, because when I switched it out, it turned back to normal. But I realized today that (as you pointed out), if you switch the input to something else, then switch it back, it tends to fix it (temporarily)... so switching out the cable had the same effect.

I'm inclined to think there is a problem with the receiver, but I'm really at a loss what to do next. As much as it pains me to do so, I'm considering switching to component cables .

I'm using the ct100 with my cable box, ps3 and xbox 360 with the new x1 and I don't have any of those problems.. my only complaint is the viera link makes my cable box think i'm infringing on copyrights or something and a warning comes up everytime i change the channel
