Question about HDMI cables

This is the Error I get when I go to the PS3 setting. Same result nomater if it's set to Bitstream or Linear.

But my main question here is, has anyone ever heard of a Video only HDMI cable? Is this something made up by Tier 1 suport to get me off the phone?

I have never heard of an HDMI cable that does video only, Maybe thats what some people here on the boards are talking about when they find these cheapy $20.00 cables. I have one Monster and one Acoustic Research HDMI cables and have no problems. You might want to try another cable just to rule that out of your trouble shooting equation.

Try using HDMI for video only. See if that passes through. Then try it with audio turned on.

There is also the fact that you may need to do a soft reset of the PS3.

I am currently useing it for Video and Optical for audio as the HDMI isn't letting me. When I try to turn it on is when I get the Error. I have tried rebooting both the PS3 and Receiver.

(I sware if it's not one this it's another w/ me. I'm pretty good w/ AV equipment, somehow I just get the screwy stuff. Example, the brand new replacement Receiver Sony sent me, the center chanel dosn't work, I have to send it in for repair)

Then I say return the receiver and get a new one of the same model or get it from a different retailer. Or get a different model altogether.

Errors in manufacturing does happen.
