I am not sure if it is HDMI HDCP handshake compatibility or not.

Issue:
Projector shows HDMI image and consistently drops HDMI signal around 30-40 seconds later, lamp goes into solid orange (power is switch off and cooling lamp). The lamp has around 400 hours and after power cycling 4-5 times consecutively the projector shows HDMI image for hours without dropping signal. Also note that whenever I use VGA no signal problems at first start or anytime later.

Not Working Configurations:
PlayStation 3 (slim)---> 25 feet cable (BJC* Series-1)---> PT-AX100U
PlayStation 3 (slim)---> 6 feet cable (BJC Series-FE)---> PT-AX100U
Blu ray (LG)---> 25 feet cable (BJC Series-1)---> PT-AX100U
Blu ray (LG)---> 6 feet cable (BJC Series-FE)---> PT-AX100U
*BJC = Blue Jeans Cable

Working Configurations:
PlayStation 3 (slim)---> 25 feet cable (BJC* Series-1)---> SAMSUNG (2280HD)
PlayStation 3 (slim)---> 6 feet cable (BJC Series-FE)---> SAMSUNG (2280HD)
Blu ray (LG)---> 25 feet cable (BJC Series-1)---> SAMSUNG (2280HD)

I value the AVS Forum brainpower.

hi - Were you able to fix the problem. I just started having this problem. My Roku, Denon radio work fine.

But there is a loss of HDMI signal when i connect to my blu ray player. I only have 1 HDMI cable from receiver to projector.

The original poster was probably experiencing a failure of the A-P.C board which handles the HDMI input. If your AX100U is working fine with everything except the Blu-ray player it's a different problem.

Have you tried checking for a firmware update for your Blu-ray player? You didn't mention the brand and model but you'll likely get better answers in the Blu-ray Players forum.
