Random moving White speckles

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So I am in the process of hooking up and tweaking my new system which includes a Epson 8100 pj, a onkyo TX-SR309 avr, a sony BDP-BX58 and everything is hooked up with cables form the latest hdmi standard. So here is my problem when I run the bdp though the avr I get random white moving speckles, sort of like a white noise, I have verified all cables are in proper working order, and even had a new avr sent to me (which did slightly improve the number of white speckles). Also when I hook the BDP straight to the pj there is no issue, so I am fairly confident that both the pj and the bdp are in proper working order.

The longest run of hdmi cable I have is from the wall to the pj it is 25' and is 28awg, cl3 rated. All other hdmi cables are Rosewill - Pellucid HD Series 6'

I have tested the issue with deep color on and off, and found that there is less of a problem with deep color in auto mode. Last night I did notice that one hdmi cable I have has ferritic cores and maybe I need to put them on all the cables, b/c the problem did seem to get better is that cable was run form the bdp to the avr.

thoughts and ideas would be very helpful, thanks.

Replace the 25' cable with a 22-24 AWG high speed HDMI cable and your sparkles (white speckles) should go away.

Ferrites won't do a thing to improve your signal and might actual degrade it slightly.

Leave deep color off. It requires a higher bit rate and offers questionable improvement in the picture considering the source is encoded at 24-bits/pixel.

And if you can't easily replace the 25' cable with a thicker one, an HDMI extender would be the next option...

(no experience with this first-hand - but you're look for a powered version)
