Pioneer VSX-1020 shuting of video out of HDMI

[lucas.g]

Hello audioholics,

I just bought a Pioneer VSX-1020 and it is all setup I like it but I have a problem with it. I stream video via netflix to my samsung BD1600 and when on the buffering screen the reciever will shut off the video to the TV. I either have to change inputs and then change them back or do a power cycle the unit. This only happens during the buffering, and the video doesn't return when the movie begins to play. I still have audio when the movie begins and when I hook the dvd player directly to the TV it doesn't do it. I am sure it is going in to some sort of protection mode for the TV. I haven't checked to see if this is only an HDMI thing or not but I really don't want to step down to componet cables just to get rid of this problem, I would rather return the unit. Is there anyway to change the settings inside of the unit to wait a little longer before shutting down the video output?

Any thoughts would be helpfull, I also have submitted something to pioneer I will post the response if I get one.

Are you wired or wireless streaming?

I am wireless to the BD player but I can't see how that would effect any thing becuase everything worked fine hooking the BD player to the TV directly

You would be surprised If you cant hard wire, run an analog video connection and optical for your streaming needs to eliminate the HDMI issue.
