Could yamaha AVR cause any TV Display problems?

[rivrbyte]

Anyone have 665 AVR issues with HDMI causing TV blackouts?

I have uploaded the latest firmware patch for this TV to help the issues of this problem, but it still does it.

First I thought I could be having issues with the Samsung 46A750 TV which the display shuts off from 5-10 seconds, but sound is still playing, then I thought it could be the Cable Box, Time-Warner came over today to tell me that the signal was good, but they are having software problems with the OCAP HD-DVR boxes, but that is not one of the issues.

Samsung wanted me to do some troubleshooting steps to make sure it's the TV, before they come over to fix.
The TW tech told me it (maybe) just a possibility that if the HDMI cable goes from TV into the AVR, and everything else goes into the AVR including the TIME WARNER Box,
Bluray Player, then there might be a problem with the AVR. Something to do with the chain of components.

I did not buy Monster Cables, I bought them from Monoprice, which I have heard good things about, but he said maybe I'm getting half the signal since Audio and Video make up the HDMI, and maybe I got some bad cables. I checked them and they are in tight.

SOOOooo, has anyone had problems with the TV display going completely black, out as a result of something wrong with the Yamaha RX-V665?

Thank you for any replies!

Just a hunch.

Before using your 665, what were you using?

Did you try plugging the HDMI cable from your Cable Box directly to your TV?

Maybe some HDMI incompatibility issues between all your components?
The eternal HDMI problem...

SOOOooo, what d'you think?

This sounds like a potential HDMI handshake issue. I'm assuming that the video drops out for 4-5 seconds every couple of minutes or so?

Somtimes, this can be helped by the order in which you turn on your components. Try turning on the cable first, then the receiver and the display last. The components continuously talk to each other and if this sequence is disturbed, you can lose your signal temporarily until the communication is re-established. In some cases, the order in which you turn on your components can keep that in sequence.

We know your HDMI cable connection is solid because you are still getting audio. The digital audio signal is embedded into the video signal so if you have one, you have the other.

Yo, we need some feedback from you man.

So rivrbyte, are you around? Is this makes sense to you? HDMI handshake issue?

Dave here, above post, just gave you a good tip (sequential order from your components).

Check your TV for Anynet+(Hdmi-CEC) and turn it off. That might solve your problem.

Agreed my receiver has issues with handshaking with my HDTV tuner. So I now run component and toslink. I could run HDMI for the video, but I don't watch tv enough for it to matter and my display isn't 1080 native anyway.
