I am having some issues with HDMI and 1080P. My run from my projector to my receiver is approximately 34 feet and I am currently using Monoprice's top of the line 50ft HDMI cable. Everything works great for HD sources like DTV and for any source 1080i or lower but my problem is occurring when I use either my Pioneer Elite BDP-95HD Blu ray player or my Toshiba HD-A35 HD-DVD player. I am running each of the HD-players through the receiver via HDMI and 1 HDMI to the Sony Pearl.
If my receiver and projector have been off overnight or off for more that 2 or 3 hours then as soon as I turn it on and either HD player boots up and trys to send a 1080P signal to my Pearl the front of the Pioneer Elite Receiver flashes Not Supported and no picture comes through. If I hard sync the HDMI in back of receiver that is outputing to the projector, meaning unplug the HDMI and then plug it back in while the receiver is flashing Not Supported then everything works fine after a few seconds and I can watch a whole movie fine. Same thing is true if I keep the HDMI plugged in while receiver is flashing not supported and do a hard reset of the receiver.
I called Pioneer and they thought it could possibly be a problem with the receiver so I took it back and had the same problem. I have also tried three different HDMI repeaters and two of them fixed the problem for about 5 minutes or so and they the picture was a little grainy so it did not work.
I am guessing the problem has to be with the 50 feet HDMI cable. I was going to return it and try a 35 foot one.
What do you guys think? Definitely the cable or is it possible that the VPL-VW50 doe not support HDMI 1.3 like my receiver and HD players and that is the problem. Thanks for any help.
