Just got my first dedicated home theater room setup finished yesterday. Watched tv and played xbox 360 all night with my wife and had a PERMA-GRIN on my face - What an experience! Only problem though? Signal issues!
I have a Mitsubishi HC3800 and am running a 35 foot HDMI from a Rocketfish 4-Port HDMI Switcher (that IS 1080P compatible) which then routes out to my Sony BDP-BX2 Blu-Ray, my Xbox 360 w/ HDMI, and my Cable box (HDMI).
I have zero issues playing Xbox or watching digital cable. When I try and watch a DVD (regardless of if it's DVD or Blu-Ray DVD) the first 10-15 minutes I get flickering and all-out signal loss for sometimes as long as 5-7 seconds VERY frequently. Once it seems to get going though, signal loss is less frequent then alltogether non-existant.
I've read elsewhere that some Blu-Ray players put out a weak HDMI signal, is that 35 foot HDMI killing it? I'd like to think it's NOT the Rocketfish as my Xbox 360 is having no issues and it's 1080P as well.
Other than getting another Blu-Ray over here to test this, what do you reccommend?
If I go with an HDMI repeater/booster, would it be smarter to return the 35 footer (please say no!) and replace it with two smaller HDMI's and put the repeater midway inbetween? Or would it be okay to run the repeater/booster RIGHT off the back of the Rocketfish then run the 35 footer to my projector.
Any advice would be awesome - It's great to have mysetup complete but if I can't see its full potential by watching a Blu-Ray I'm bummed!
Oh and yes the obvious solution would be to replace my receiver to a newer model with HDMI's on it, but I'm trying to go a financially sensible route this time as I've already dumped thousands in the last 30 days and am trying to satisfy my wife's need to slow down
