I changed my HDMI v1.4 cable recently and it is not working with this Blue Ray (I checked it with other devices and cable is ok). Any ideas why?

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?

I believe that the v1.4 is designed for 3D Blue Ray devices and this particular model does not support 3D. If your other HDMI cable still works with it then more than likely that would be why. Hopefully this helps.

monoprice.comlike the above poster said, make sure it's at least a HDMI v1.3b. You can apparently now get v1.4, but that may be unneccesary. If you pay more than $3 for a HDMI cable, you are throwing money away. Never will I forget a friend who was so proud a couple years ago when he paid $100+ for a Monster HDMI cable at Best Buy. Didn't have the heart to tell him he blew $100. But you don't have to make the same mistake!

Thanks for your help, I just replaced the Monster Cable that didn't work with this unit (it was working ok when i had my ps3 connected to the tv),I don't know whats the problem with the cable but after replacing it with the cable provided by Directv, the system is working perfect

I tried to hook mine up using two cables and I could not get it to work. I believe I followed the steps correctly. Would appreciate a response from you if you were successful. I may need to return mine if the sub HDMI is not working & need to know soon before I cut the UPC off the box to get the free Avatar blu-ray that expires at the end of March.

I don't know what hdmi 1.4 is, but I can tell you we have a Panasonic VT60 (http://gizmodo.com/panasonic-vt60-television-3000-of-video-perfection-511518667) and it works perfect and also works fine w/ 3D DirectTv channels and panasonic 3D blue ray player. I hope that helps you.

HDMI 2.0 is supposed to work with HDMI 1.4 cables. *If* the 1.4 cables were built to specs, they can support the increased bandwidth with no problem. That said, this cable (KabelDirekt (6 feet) TOP Series) is the first one I've bought that has worked for me with no problems. My HDMI 2.0 hardware seems happy, and I haven't had any of the glitches I used to experience with older/cheaper cables. The thing to look for when buying these cables is the ATC certification. If you're really suspicious, ask for copies of the manufacturers certificates. The good manufacturers will usually send you a copy.

That's simple. None. Don't buy it. It's a faulty device full of firmware problems. It never switched properly between HDMI devices properly for me so I returned it.

I bought this tv last week and picked up an HDMI cable as well. For some reason I can't get the TV to show videos at 120hz. Does anyone know if the HDMI cable influences that or how to switch it on the TV?

It might help but I am not much of a Samsung fan. I bought one from here and when I connected it, after one movie the blue ray stopped working. My advice, try the update. If it doesn't work the I'd say start looking into a new blue ray. They have come down a lot in price. I bought a LG blue ray and must say that it is the best one I've ever owned. Sorry I could not be more help. I hope things work out for you.

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

I had a problem with this cable not working with the latest version of HDMI signal. Chances are Comcast are sending the latest HDMI signal (vers 1.3 or higher) so I recommend you return the BlueRigger is and get the following as this one worked as it is the latest HDMI version: "Aurum High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet CL2 Rated For In-Wall-Installation - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel - Full HD [Latest Version]"Aurum High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet (75 FT) CL2 Rated For In-Wall-Installation - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel - Full HD [Latest Version] - 75 Feet I had a problem with this cable not working with the latest version of HDMI signal.

Thank you! I figured out that my wires were too tangled. It's working with only the HDMI cable. Thanks again for taking the time.

I have the same issue with the DG710 (only difference is one less HDMI and 10watt less per channel, otherwise, same unit) and the only solution was to set all outputs to "Bitstream" I spent an hour with Sony on the phone and could not get the receiver to play 5.1 PCM from any source but a PS3 game, why, I don't know, I tried 4 different Blu-Ray disk. I am exchanging mine through Amazon for a new one, I don't know what I'll do if the new one doesn't work. Some people have claimed the Lossless audio works great (lossless is PCM only) yet CNet reviewed and claimed it mixed all PCM to 2.1, which is what both of our units have done. Apparently it's a hit or miss issue, some work, some don't. I hope I get a good one next time.

what receiver model do you have? The newest one does not show RGB output, only VGA, HDMI and the modern modes. If your receiver has an RGB output, then it should work. Check your cable connections make sure they are tight, and color codes matching.

I just did that very thing. My Samsung Home Theater is also HDMI 1.4 ready so I hooked it up with just the main output from the Panasonic and everything worked just fine, but I keep reading that it's still better to use two cables with the video turned off the (Sub) output. My TV is a LG 3D LED Smarty but it has only one HDMIARC input so I naturally I put the main Panasonics output there. I put the out put from my A/V machine to the HDMI2 hole. That should do it. I haven't tried it yet. I have a brand new copy of "Johnny Depp's Alice in wonderland". I'll let you know how it works.
