HDMI causeing dvd player freeze up

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I am running a Samsung HPS5073 display and have a Denon AVR4306 receiver and a Denon 1930ci dvd player.

I have the TV hooked up to the receiver via HDMI cable.

The audio for SACD from my dvd player is hooked up with 5.1 connections and currently I am useing optical cable for all other audio signals.
I had the DVD player hooked up with HDMI cable as well but had to switch to component cables for the following reason.

When listening to a cd, dvd or SACD I would turn off the TV since I did not need it on, but when I would do this it would cause the DVD player to freeze up for 2 - 3 seconds and sometime even freeze to the point of a power reset. I know this is do to the data connection being lost but is there a way to fix this or do I have to use the component video cable?

I know some people say that component cable looks better and some say HDMI looks better but I honestly have not had a chance to really test it since as soon as I noticed this problem I switched cables.

Does it work when the TV is on? It sounds like your DVD player does not support something called the "empty repeater bit." The AV receiver reports itself as an HDCP repeater, which tells the source (DVD player) that it needs to check the HDCP keys for both itself and the downstream sink device (the TV). However, if the user turns off the TV (such as your situation), there is no sink device to be authenticated and the source should be ok with that. Please contact the manufacturer to investigate further, and work with them to resolve the issue.
