Samsung BD-P1400 Handshake Problem

[duckydan]

I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me out. I have a BD-P1400 (purchased yesterday) that while watching movies (twice during spiderman 3 and once during usual suspects) the audio and video go out for a second and my receiver (Onkyo 605) says it loses the signal. That is why I think this is an HDMI handshake problem. I tried different cables still to no avail. I have the newest firmware and like the player but I'm hoping there's an easy solution to the dropouts.

This is the only thing that I'm having a random problem with right now, too. Although, it doesn't happen while I'm in a movie. This happened last night when I booted up a SDVD, Suburban Girl, and my audio wasn't on.

I had to shut the player off and turn it on again and then it locked the signal. You know you have signal lock when you hear that "CLICK" sound from your speakers. I couldn't tell you for sure exactly what causes this, but I do remember calling Bose years ago when I originally purchased my system asking them about that sound and they said it is common and is called "signal lock".

I would imagine this would be the same for HDMI cables. Although, my call was made way before HDMI came to the market and I was using S-Video and Component cabling. I still do use that, but HDMI is running from the BDP to the Plasma. I can get that signal lock sound from just changing channels watching TV so I'm not, and have never been, concerned about it.

As far as this happening to my 1400, no sound on disk boot, I just rebooted the player and got the proverbial "CLICK" and all was good to go.
