Problem is, every so often, the video cuts out and goes either black then "snow" or just to snow. Generally it will stay like this for a few seconds (or maybe sometimes up to 20 second) and then go back to a picture. Once in a while it hangs there much longer to the point where I change sources and then change back and this will correct the problem. But, it happens across both video sources (Fios box and Pio BRP - the only two sources I use, other than Ipod or CD, in which case it does not do it that I've noticed). It usually does it once or twice in an hour or two. Tonight it was extra bad, doing it at least four times, once for a long time (I let it work itself out, until after about 3 minutes then I switched to any other source and back).
The unit is about 6 months old. It has been doing it since out of the box (not literally, but first time must've been first week or two). I just figured it was a snag and didn't want to undo the whole system I just created for what was a few second glitch that self corrected. I can't say for sure, but it seems to be getting worse. Either that, or I'm getting more annoyed.
I purchased at Costco, so I should be good on the return if you all say it is a defect. But that's my question: a defect in the receiver or likely elsewhere?

The first thing I would try is a new HDMI cable from your AVR to your display. Long runs of HDMI will cause issues as well. If that's not it the next thing to try would be a different input on the display. And last of all would be the output on the AVR.
Turning off the handshake thing didnt help
