I think it's because Denon is now selling a very high end (read expensive) cable that uses an adaptor to hold the HDMI in place. I believe it only works with their cable, and uses adhesive to hold it in place. There's a website www.hdezlock.com that says they have a universal locking adaptor coming out soon that will work with most cables and most components to prevent loose hdmi cables. The connectors have gotten better, but it still seems to be a pretty big problem.

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.

I'm not sure I can answer that question properly, but I will give it a try. Although it is thinner than other cables I have used, when I fished it up the wall to the TV port, I was not at all hesitant to pull on the cord when it snagged in the wall. It pulled through without a problem. Additionally, it felt really well built and solid .

A small tool is provided with the needles to tighten the screws. If you use this tool, you shouldn't have any problems with them coming loose from the cables. These needles are fabulous! I have had no problem with them coming loose as long as I use the tool to tighten the connection. Good luck!

That happened To us and we had to use an hdmi cable and it fixed the issue. We we used a cord connect the cable box to the TV instead of the hdmi, we had that issue. Hope that helps!

Not sure what the problem may be as I get a very decent quality picture on my TV when connected to my kindle with this cable. I use the HDMI3 port on my TV (I think I have 3 or 4 HDMI ports....) - not sure if that might make a difference....sorry could not be of more help.....

Robert, it's a mystery to me. I own the TV and have tried to connect other devices with the USB port, and can't get it to show on the screen.

It's the clear plastic covers on the ends of the cables. I made the mistake of not removing them at first and was about to post about how they wouldn't connect, but they do. Work fine on both my tv and the soundbar that I have it connected to.

The connectors are integral to the cables. In other words, to tighten the cables, you just pull them futher through the connectors already fastened at the other end, and slip them through a slot when properly tight. Short answer: Yes.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems.My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

The cable which connects to your TV is coaxial. If your TV doesn't have that type of connection (same as cable TV), you could use the old adapter that changes the coaxial to the red and white plug.

The connector was not tightly touched. When you install it, it may become loose. We heard from other customers that they used a sticking tape to stablize the connectors.

I had a little difficulty getting the connector to enter my tablet at first, but I finally got it. With the tablet facing you -- the on/off button on the top right and the place where the cable connects to the tablet on the top left. My cable connector has a rectangle indentation on one side and the other side is smooth. Put the smooth side of the connector facing you ... the indentation facing away. That seemed backwards to me, but I fiddled around with it a little bit and now I have no problem getting it to connect. By the way, your questions about what are you doing wrong? I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I think it's just a crazy connector. : ) Hope this helps you out.

I was able to connect my computer to my tv's HDMI using this cable. Sounds like you're trying to do the same thing the other way. All I can say is buy it and try it out. You can return it if it doesn't work out. Nice part of buying on Amazon. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I purchased this cable hoping to resolve a similar problem. It didn't work because the coaxial connector is not like the ones we've used for decades to hook up TV's. The coaxial connector on this cable is "fat" and has 19 pins.

If using an antenna or basic cable this is usually the result of a weak signal or a faulty/loose cable. If using HDMI could be a bad cable or loose connection. Try unplugging and then replugging the cable. With digital TV you either have a perfect picture or no picture at all.

It connects using the basic red/white/yellow component cables. I have it connected to my LCD HDTV that way. If you only have HDMI ports on your TV, you'll have to see if an adapter exists.
