My source signal drops when HDMI is connected, even when using other (nonHDMI) source? Anyone?

clean out the ports on both ends [compressed air] and try a different cable or try reversing the cable end for end...

This is not normal operation. I would try different HDMI cables/ports (not plugged in on the other end). A google or two will typically let you know if this is a common issue as well. Good luck!

have you tried using a higher quality HDMI cable? Also, sometimes those cables can have small breaks in them that are not visable from the outside. And it will cause the source signal to drop.. are you getting a black/blank screen?? Or an error message??

I have just tried that and it worked. I normally use a HDMI input but my TV comes with a DVI input connector so I tried the DVI input and there was no problem. My suggestion is that you 1) turn off the HDMI splitter and all devices connected to the HDMI splitter, 2) turn on all devices connected to the HDMI splitter and then 3) turn on the HDMI splitter.

I too experienced the Audio drop out problem on this TV. I called Samsung. They said it is the signal coming from my Dishnetwork receiver. I tried both HDMI and RCA sound connections. It happens with both. Turning off the TV and turning it back on, fixes this intermittant problem. It happens every 2 or 3 days. When I spoke to Dishnetwork they suggested rebooting the Dishnetwork VIP 622 DVR. If that doesn't work, Dish offered to send me another receiver.

I do not have any technical expertise, so cannot help y6ou very much, but at least try to chance your output source. If you are having trouble with HDMI, try the component output source. If it works on the component source, leave it there, as it is almost as good as HDMI. Hope this helps. RR

after a google search I have not found anything that you can do with the HDMI output unless there's a device that you can plug it into that will actually split the HDMI signal

I'm assuming the picture lags behind the audio, which is fairly common with HDMI. Use the A/V sync feature on the receiver (it's under Audio Adjust); 40ms is usually a good starting point.

Your problem may be caused by using component cables and not HDMI cables. You do not have to use $150 HDMI cables but use shielded cables. I got mine on eBay for $9 ea for ten foot cables. The picture is flawless.

What sources do you have it connected to (cable box, blu ray player, av receiver, etc)? Does this occur on each source? Has this occured starting when you first used the tv or is it new? Without knowing any other details ensure your cables (likely hdmi) are secured on both ends.

Ok. this is somewhat related. First, this is EXACTLY what I needed because now my device is doing MUCH better, but, NOW the HDMI is wigging out sporadically for 2-3 seconds at a time. I tried a super short (1 foot) hdmi cable initially blaming it on that, but I'm still seeing the issue. My next step is to increase the power output of the micro usb adapter to see if that helps, but if that fails any other suggestions? Am I really the ony one this has happened with? :) Help! :)

Haven't experienced that with mine. I suggest connecting it to a shorter SDI cable and see if you get the same result. Also try with different HDMI cable as well.

I didnt have an issue with mine. You have it the receiver to automatically detect and send audio? Maybe try a different HDMI?

You likely have to switch your TV over to an alternate source- like HDMI 1 or 2 so that your TV knows it's getting the feed from an alternate source other than cable. Hope that helps?

Jmaze - Check the audio setting on your cable box. When using HDMI connections your source must output digital sound. I don't remember the exact details but i had a similar problem with my setup and it was fixed by using the right kind of audio settings for my cable box.

Replacing the HDMI cable I was using (one that came with a video card) with a new High Speed Monster Cable fixed my problem as described below instantly.I have noticed that ours has recently started this behavior as well. Additionally, our XBox 360 is connected directly to the TV, and when using the ARC, the sound dropout is nearly continuous. I wonder if there may be a problem with the HDMI cable going from the receiver to the TV, but I haven't had a chance to try getting a new cable and see if that is in fact the problem.

HDMI 3 solved the "issue" for me - never saw it again once I used that input. I also do have Anynet function turned on and my TV remote controls my Receiver. When I used HDMI 1 and switched source on my receiver, I saw the "STB Button" message all of the the time.

I too have a Philips 42" monitor. Have you tried moving the HDMI cable directly to the monitor just as a test? I have seen the same issue here but I am connected though component video at the moment and was hoping to resolve the issue by using the DVI input on my monitor.

I didn't have any luck with this. I had to go a different route for my solution, HDMI/DVI. I hope this helps.
