Audio problems with Panasonic BD30 - Blu-ray Forum

darrell · 07-30-2009, 10:04 PM

I have A Panasonic DMP-BD30 connected to A LG 42LB5D television.
When I watch both DVD's and Blu-Ray's the sound will constantly mute itself sometimes as often as every 5 minutes. The only way to get the sound back is to turn the volume up or down on the TV.
The player has been updated to the latest firmware. I have also tries at least 5 different HDMI cables. I have tried 3 different Monster Cables 2 different cables from MonoPrice and a Sony HDMI cable and this constant muting is the least of the problems I have. When I try to use some of the cables the picture will constantly flash and the TV will make a lot of nasty sounding static.
I have tried every setting on the Blu-Ray player I can think of and every setting on the TV that I can think of and nothing helps.
I havce had this combination for about a year and it worked fine until about 2 or 3 months ago.
I'm about ready to seel all my Blu_Rays and go back to buying DVD's if I can't find an answer. I can't afford to buy another TV and I refuse to buy another Blu-Ray player.

I've tried all three HDMI inputs on the TV & I don't have anything else that uses HDMI

If it is possible try the player on a different TV? This sounds like it may be a communication issue between the two devices. Have you checked the display forum or the AVS forum (massive amount of info over there) to see if anyone else is having the same issue with the LG tv? I have a BD30 and am not suffering this problem - don't give up on Blu yet.

I'll check both of those. Thanks
The wierd thing is that this problem just started a couple of months ago. Up untill then both TV & Blu-Ray player worked great together.
And it didn't happen after a firmware update.
