HDMI quirk - suggestions ?

["rolecgroup" <dean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just put up a Pioneer 42" connected by a couple of good quality
HDMI
leads to a Sky HD and a DVD

First time i've seen Sky HD and WOW what a picture - great watching
the Preview channel !!

The guy has bought a new Pioneer HDMI DVD player to go with it which
doesnt seem to work with the setup...

I took a Yamada HDMI DVD player (=A339 from Ebuyer) which works great,
but his new Pioneer only seems to send sound and no picture.

I was convinced this was definately a faulty DVD player until i
connected an old HDMI lead i bought cheap off of ebay and bang there's
picture and sound from his Pioneer.

I've swapped the good quality leads around which are now plastered in
wall and both work fine on Sky HD and my DVD player but neither on his.

Soooo - any experts out there like to comment on whats going on ???

I assumed (wrongly) all HDMI leads were built equal - other than
quality of components but obviously not.

The Sky box is displaying at 1080i, the Yamada DVD at 720p, and when
connected via the cheap lead the Pioneer at 576p

One thing i didnt try was to set the Pioneer DVD to 720 or 1080 output
- but can the good HDMI leads stop the 576 signal but not the cheap
one. (That sounds like a really stupid question - but am shooting in
the dark here)

Any advice appreciated.



Thanks




Dean.
