I purchased a Sony STR-DG910 last last year and so far so good...except this past weekend when I watch cable (via HDMI) the sound and picture go blank for a split second every few minutes. It's like it resets the video and decoder (sound). I've disconnected the cable and ran straight from the cable box to the tv (Toshiba 47hl167) and the problem disappears. I watch bluray movies via receiver through an HDMI cable and xbox360 the same way and do not get the problem, it's only when watching cable. Anyone know how to fix this or what could be happening?

You will probably need to unplug the power from the three devices in the chain.


then bring up the display first and make sure it is on the correct HDMI port.


Then bring up the AVR and make sure it is on the correct HDMI source.


Then bring up the source that is causing the blanking.




It should be OK for a while, it will probably happen again at some point.

Well I tried unplugging and it worked, thanks for the tip!
