Have you switched the Blu Ray and DVR inputs on the AVR?

So the video tech service guy came out last week..
He brought with him some main source something that he said was the problem ( my tv was giving a code 4-8 ) . Low and behold the problem was not fixed..its been almost 3 weeks now and still nothing..Mitsubishi customer service is crazy and no technical support. He ordered a power supply he says now and will try it this morning.
We will see but I have a feeling nothing will be fixed today.

Here's my set up: Comcast DVR via HDMI into my Denon AVR 1912. Panasonic Blu-Ray into Denon via HDMI. Single HDMI from Denon into HDMI 1 connection on TV. So here's the issue....only had this TV for about 1 week, and tonight I turn the TV on and every so often, the screen goes black (for about 2 or 3 seconds) then it comes back on and in the upper left corner of the TV it gives a signal that the DVR is now connected. All will be fine for anywhere between 3 or 4 minutes, and then bang, black screen for 2 or 3 seconds, and then back on. By the way, the sound is just fine during these "black outs". I tried hooking into the HDMI 2 slot on the TV, and still the same issue. This happens whether watching live TV or watching a recorded show. So, I then tried the Blu-Ray and absolutely no such problem. I went 15 minutes with not one single "black-out". So, wouldn't that mean the TV HDMI connection is working? If it was the TV HDMI connection with the problem, would it work for the Blu-Ray and not for the DVR? The good news is I do have a 2 year in-house warranty, but I'm thinking it could be the Cable DVR rather than the TV. Thoughts?

So, plugged everything back up to the DVR and through the AVR and then into the Mit and the issues started up again. So, switched over to the Blu Ray, and once again, not a single issue (the Blu Ray uses the same HDMI from the AVR into the TV). So then I switched back to the TV, and after 5 minutes, no "black out". Go figure. I'm thinking it is a bad Comcast DVR. Any thoughts from anyone else out there? Anyone else have a similar issue? It worked perfectly fine for about 10 days until this started to occur. By the way....I do have the MIT 3D Adapter that is in between the AVR and TV, but took that out of the loop and the same issues were occuring while watching via the DVR, so I don't believe that is causing the problem. Well, I'll wait to see if anyone has any other suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I mean, no explanation for why the black outs were occurring and now no explanation for why they stopped. I did unplug and plug back in many different connections, so maybe something was loose, but can't explain why it would have come loose. Crazy. I would still be interested to know if any Mit owners with a 737 series has experienced such issues. Thanks.

If they had an 85" Elite for $5500 then I would have probably gone down that path. The 92" beast is on its way. For those of you who will be interested in a more technical understanding of the new clear screen beast watch for my posts in the 2011 and 92" threads.

My 82837 will either get a quieter life in a spare bedroom or might end up at my brother's home as his main dispaly. I would sum up my experience with my 82837 as mixed but I found how to get the most out of it.. we, the 82" and me have had our growing pains together.

I cursed the calibration bugs, but the DUO VP largely dealth with that and was a good investment in the end. I don't think I would have enjoyed the 82837 nearly as much without the Video Processor. We will see how good the 2011 is without and with the Video Processor. Once the beast has enough hours on the lamp I will post charts. I am kind of hoping it will get quite close to spec with the built in calibration controls and I can move the video processor to another display.. probably not.

Autocalibration is a nice thing and should work even better on the new set. Right now I do most of the calibration manually. That is really a feature issue with the Video Processor or the lack of the ability to disable the dynamic iris on the 82837, take your pick. The 92" doesn't have a dynamic iris so autocalibrate should be seamless on it. Not that the user interface on Mits calibration controls are that awkward they are just not very linear and don't have enough authority, blue for example will not be tamed and is overbright on the 2009s without an external VP.

I have learned a lot on this thread and thanks to everyone for helping me through my first Mits.. all TVs drive me crazy with their individual idiosyncracies, the 2009 WD-82837 made me craziest becaue I expected so much from it.

What's the current wisdom? Will MITS replace the light engine under warranty?
