HDMI Issue

Post by albertox83 »

Hi,

I bought the device three months ago, and it was working properly. Anyway, suddenly it stopped sending signal on HDMI port, while scart port is still working. I have tried different TVs, different HDMI cables, upgrade the firmware... still not working.

Reading on the internet, it seems that sometimes it happens, and the port is broken. Is there any solution? Is it possible to change the device using the guarantee? My TV has not scart port.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know why the HDMI quit working (rare but sometimes they just quit), but I don't believe you can run HDMI and SCART at the same time if that is what you were dong (like to run two TV cables to TV's at the same time). I believe I read somewhere on here that one of the pins on SCART is a power pin that will send a power signal to the TV and will also kill power to the HDMI output.

Also both SCART and the small pin A/V Jack are both (SDTV) only,,,,they won't play HDTV.

(If) you have two cables running I would disconnect the SCART from your Receiver and Reboot and see if HDMI comes back on.

Good Luck ! :D

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'm not connecting both cables at the same time, just once at a time. I'm afraid there is no chance to get the hdmi back... only that scart to hdmi converter option, but only with SD quality... what is too poor in a 55 inch TV.

Thanks anyway.
