I couldn't find this addressed anywhere, but a friend told me he thought he'd seen something posted on this. Anyway, here goes:
I have an Xbox 360 Elite (Falcon
), HK AVR 745, and a Sharp Aquos LC-60C46U. The AVR is connected to the Aquos with an HDMI cable (24 AWG, bought through monoprice).
When I try to connect the xbox to the AVR via the included HDMI cable, I get what the Aquos claims is a 1080p signal. However, the picture is unstable (jumps) and has these purple, psychedelic-like moving bands running through it (the audio seems to come through fine).
When I change the xbox to 1080i, it displays fine. When I connect the xbox directly to the TV, it displays fine. I have made sure the receiver is set to "Bypass" for the HDMI input the xbox is connected to (I have tried the Faroudja processing too for kicks, didn't work). I have tried powering them on in different orders, no good. I have tried the other HDMI input on the receiver, same results. (And, just as a note, when I'm in the receiver settings while the xbox is broadcasting 1080p, it claims it's receiving and transmitting 480p, however, when the xbox is set to 1080i, the receiver shows receiving and transmitting 1080i.
)
I'm out of ideas, short of calling HK and/or MS and I'm not real hopeful of those ideas. I know I could go directly to the TV with the HDMI and run the optical to the receiver, but this should be working so I'd like to give it a solid try.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
