I have two Dvico M6500A, both updated to the last firmware version.


They both have a 1,000GB Seagate SATA II HDs.


One works just fine, movies are awesome to watch with the HDMI output and the setup was a breeze.


The other one is DRIVING ME NUTS.


I connect it via component to my Sharp Aquos and I can see the main logo then the main setup page.


Now, no matter what, when I change the settings to HDMI video output, it won't take it. It simply flicker the video and then I get total "black screen" on my Sharp tv. After a few seconds (30 or more), it goes back to the component video output and all the settings are back to the default (except for the language)...


I am starting to suspect this one is defective from factory...


Anyone has an idea...?


Thanks.

Have you tried just swapping the M6500A's (leaving the cabling/etc in place) to make sure its the M6500 and not the TV/etc? I had issues with the latest beta firmware having no sound output to my sony tv over HDMI.

It is the M6500A.


I swapped a few times with the other M6500A that I own and that one works wonderfully, any way I set it up.


And my problem is that I just don't get any video out of the HDMI output on this M6500A, no matter how many times I change the settings to HDMI.


And another thing about the non working M6500A HDMI is that this one also start with a pretty loud whirring noise which only stops once the M6500A booted and loaded the Os completely.
