HDMI Technology: Does anyone know if this is using HDMI 1.3 technology?
1291770
I'm not sure what 1.3 tech is, but I can say that I have never had a problem with my HDMI cables. I am running this TV through a Sony receiver using one HDMI. I have 3 other HDMI devices that are running into my receiver (DVD player, Xbox, and Directv Receiver). When you use all soney products, this TV will recognize the components. For instance, even though my DVD player is connected through my receiver, if everything is turned off, all I would have to do is pop a DVD into the player and the receiver and TV will turn on automatically.

Yes, that is correct. You can't send the output over HDMI, only via the 5.1 analog outputs.

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

Please review the capabilities of HDMI 1.4 (a quick search on Wikipedia has a easy to understand definition). The capabilities of this capability shows that this cable supports all the requirements of 1.4. So yes it is HDMI 1.4Compatibility- Supports 3D Content- Guaranteed 4Kx2K, 1440p, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i Resolutions- Supports Audio Return Channel- Supports Highest Refresh Rates Available- Supports Transfer Rates of Up to 340Mhz or 10.2gbps- Supports True HD Dolby 7.1 and DTS-HD Master Audio- HDCP Compliant

I'm sure it will have 1.4Samsung says it is required for 3d, though many people are finding that good High Speed 1.3 HDMI cables will still work, though they won't give you the full benefit of 1.4 like the audio return and networking.

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

Not at this time, it has HDMI 1.4. Who knows if HDMI 2.0 will be available via firmware update

Thanks BlueDemon.I have actually been following the thread on AVSForum since it began. While there are some reports of loose HDMI connectors, muting, etc; it really isn't much (actual content-wise vs. wishing/hoping-wise). Amazon had a yellow note on their HT-CT500 page for a while saying that no orders were being taken because of Amazon customer-reported issues. I was curious to see what the actual issues were (causing a suspension of sales), in case any of those customers returned here.Thanks~Bill

I am surprised its not HDMI 2.0. Had I known I would not have ordered because I have always been told in order to do 3D you need 2.0 and 4K you need HDDCP 2.2 so either I been misinformed or this unit cant do what it claims

So far as I know, both devices use USB 2.0 cables with a micro-B connector. The cables you asked about are HDMI cables; an entirely different technology.

As far as I know nothing is even broadcast in 1080p. I've tested both connections Component and hdmi with my HD cable which is 1080i and the difference is not even visible.

It has neither HDMI or 5.1 inputs. Perhaps a higher-end model would best suit your need, or of course you can use other inputs. I am using analog (RCA) and it sounds fine for what it is.

No, it's very close. I'll try to look it up for you tomorrow. The HDMI to Micro HDMI only works on my ASUS Tablet. Nothing else that I'm aware of.

It doesn't say anything about HDMI 1.4. It says it's the latest version and is ethernet capable. I use it with my smart tv with HD satellite and have been very satisfied. I also use it with another HDTV and HD BluRay player and am satisfied as well.

I'd say it's defective as well. However, what device(s) do you have hooked to it? If you are trying to use 3D over it, it shouldn't work as this device is HDMI v1.3b and not v1.4. If you have multiple devices hooked to it, unhook all but one and try the different ports, it could just be a faulty port or even a bad cable. This is a great little device, I put mine in place in early 2013 and have 3 devices hooked to it, a dvr, a blueray player and a computer. I have never had too look at it again, it just keeps on working. Even if it is defective, I'd try another one because of the low price.

per this article, http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,137429/printable.html, it is not 1.3 compatible. However, reviewers for the 50 inch version on CNET have said that it is 1.3 compatible. I am still confused as to whether it is or isn't HDMI 1.3 compatible. I have sent an email to Panasonic and will post their reply.12/10 Update:Heard back from Panasonic support and the tv is HDMI 1.3. Here is what they said:Dear MR SINGHThank you for your inquiry.
