Panasonic DMP-BD55 - Blu-ray Forum

HAVE MERCY I NEED HELP if anyone knows what I am doing wrong. I previously had a denon 1920 conected through my Sony receiver DA1200ES and via a good quality HDMI cable about 11m to a Benq projector. Also connected a free view hd box all worked fine. I have now purchaced a Panasonic DMP-BD55 blue ray player. Although the freeview still works the projected display flashes between blue and black stating searching for HDMI. Panasonic cutomer services told me I needed a repeater so I got one today AVREPEAT-30. No mater how i connect it it has made no difference. Between player and receiver, receiver and main HDMI feed to projector and also at the projector. If I cut out the long lead and move the projector to the player it will work but the room layout realy requires the two devices to be separated. Can anyone help. I am not great at this stuff, and am getting mixed advice from retailers re the sugested solution of using a repeater.

Don't know why you would need a repeater at that length, especially if your last device worked fine.

Di you try switching the HDMI inputs on your receiver with the one your HD Cable box is input to? Does that give you the same results?

Moving the projector closer to the receiver and using a shorter cable fixes the problem?

Maybe the cable is damaged?

sounds like the problem is a handshake issue between the panasonic and your receiver, it works when the receiver is not in the chain, right?
