Hello y'all,
I have got a problem that seems to be getting worse. We have a Yamaha RX-V465 and have a Samsung Blu-Ray player (1600) & a Comcast Digital Box running into and out to the Samsung plasma. The 2 components are going into the receiver and out to the TV...ALL through HDMI.
The HDMI cable I have are NOT super expensive or the Monster type. They are $15-20 cables bought at a discount/scratch and dent electronics store...i.e. Essex.
Here is the problem. Lately, when loud sounds come though on the broadcast or Blu Ray, the Yamaha 465 shuts down as if it is having to protect itself. The worst example of this came last night as we tried to watch the movie "2012" which is very sound heavy. We couldn't even get through a minute or 2 of the movie without some kind of "sound spike"(?) causing the shut down of the receiver. This just recently started happening and seems to be getting worse.
My questions are...
--Could this be the failing of the HDMI cable???
--Should I spend the money to get a better HDMI cable??
--Are the Blue Jean Cables as good as the state while being reasonably priced??
--What HDMI cables do you suggest??
OR
--Should I got ahead and take the reciever back in to be checked out?? It is under warranty.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee
