I was shipped an older version 1080P HDMI 1.3 cable. The guys at a high end audio store said to send them back they are 6 years old. Any thoughts?

If the guys at the store want to have the cables returned for a replacement, we'd say go ahead and return them. Keep the cables if they're working fine.

What is the difference between an HDMI 1.3a cable and an HDMI 1.3b cable? I've seen both here on Amazon.

I Use the HDMI 1.4 and no issues - this may help: http://www.audioholics.com/hdtv-formats/understanding-difference-hdmi-versions

I was told to send it to the manufacturer. My sound stopped working. I was using an HDMI connection to my projector from my surround sound. I think the hdmi board fizzled out on me.

this and the 6200 model went up. im just going to wait it out i guess. but the 5200 went down in price. that doesnt do audio thru the hdmi though so its not really an option though.

I would try a different HDMI port on the TV. Some tv ports are not equal to others in the earlier TVs. The message sounds like a TV issue.

Lots of info on the wiki link. However, I did not find answers to these basic questions:* Is there a better connection when the ends are NOT gold-plated?* It seems, + correct me if I'm mistaken, that what type of HDMI cable you get (e.g. 1.3 vs 1.4) depends on the device you're hooking up (its type of connectors). Please confirm or clarify.* Also, what is wikipedia talking about when they say that in 2012, then numbers (e.g. 1.4) will have to be removed?THANKS!

I just bought a Samsung LN46A630. In addition to the replies posted re this discussion, I called Samsung directly and they recommended a v1.3 cable. I ordered the Premium HDMI v1.3 cable from Amazon ($9.99). Hope to install this weekend.

Save your money and purchase an Amazon HDMI cable. I use them and they are perfect in every way.

hey there! ya, i was about to write a follow up. i got an insanely nice woman on the phone at AT support (found the # on the website) and she sent me a replacement cable for free. kind of amazing really. i would expect to pay at least the shipping if it hapens again. it kind of feels like i got another Xmas present because i wouldve had to buy a new set of headphones if i hadnt found a replacement cable. AT has won itself a loyal customer.

Sorry but my english is very bad, whatever, I'll try to help you, what kind of cable are you use to output the audio? HDMI, Optical?

Make sure that the cables you buy are HDMI certified. This will ensure that the connector is made to spec. Otherwise, the problem is on the hardware side. I would first suspect the cable though.

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc...Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

I think Larry is spot on. If you have another HDMI handy, swap that in there. if it still persists, return it for another converter box.

I want to but the LN46A630 and want to ensure that I get the correct HDMI cable that will support 120 HZ, etc. So what exact product should I get? When folks reply, please give the model # so I know what to get. Thanks!
