I need Help!!

[joyajf]

I bought a 46" Samsung LCD (Model 4665F) and a Yamaha reciever RV-461 and a Yamaha upconvert DVD (Model 5950), which is hooked up via Cobalt Ultimate HDMI Cable. When I try to watch DVD the picture is heavily pink tinted. I checked the connection (good) checked the setting on the DVD player (set to HDMI auto Detect, and tried 720p and 1080i) still pink. Then I thought faulty cable, sent it back got a new one, still pink. Thought faulty HDMI input jack, but Cable HDMI works fine in all the inputs. Thought the DVD was faulty went to a buddies house tried the DVD player via HDMI with my cable on his Maxent 50"plasma and it worked fine no pink. Samsung said its the DVD player. Yamaha said it coud be the TV or DVD player. Any one please help. Oh yeah the DVD shows up fine when hooked up RGB.

HDMI Issue

I would test another HDMI soure like your cable box or a friend's DVD player to confirm that the issue is the TV and have the TV repaired or replaced.

I had the same problem with HDMI from my PS 3. I think all I did was switch the cable and it went away.

True Dolby 7.1

This thread was the most related to my topic so here goes.

I was under the impression that Dolby 7.1 offered by Blue Ray Discs is only carried via HDMI. Can it be carried by optical? If not is HDMI 1.3 required or can previous HDMI versions carry it?

Thanks

Yes and no

Dolby Digital, DTS are sent via Toslink/Optical, Digital Coax, Multi Channel out from the DVD to receiver, or HDMI. HDMI 1.3 is the next phase of HDMI and not a necessary evil just yet.

HDMI has it's issues with sync and is "somewhat" unstable from time to time. Depending on which one of us you get a response from.

So, if you have Optical, or Multi Channel out from the source, and in at the receiver, you'll be ok.
