Made a dumb mistake on my Momitsu Blu-ray 799 player

[ISilver104]

Hi-

I recently bought a Momitsu BDP-799 player and, well, I made a grievous error. On the "settings" menu,for reasons that,in retrospect, seem very stupid, I changed the "HDMI AUTO" option to the "1080i" option. Immediately, I lost the "settings" screen, which was replaced by blackness with the following message in the middle of thescreen: "Mode Not Supported". No matter what I did, no matter what buttons I pushed on the remote control, I couldn't escape that black screen. I attempted to remedy the situation by unplugging the player for 5 minutes, then plugging it back in again in the hopes that the machine would reset itself to its original settings, but no such luck. Right now, I can't play any discs at all. All I can do is to open and close the tray.
Under these circumstances, is there somebody who can explain to me how to reset the player to its factory settings and change the "1080i" option back to the "HDMI AUTO" option? Any help that anybody could give me in this regard would be most welcome. Thank you.

I know on my PS3 if you hold the power button for a few seconds it'll automatically restore factory settings. Maybe the same will work on your player. If not, is there any way you can change the settings on your tv to play 1080i?

Hmm....usually when I had this problem or others I know had this problem with any type accidental video selection, I connected just a standard yellow video wire or whatever video out from your player to the TV in and so, you get the picture you need via analog and then make the switch to the setting you want. I think when the HDMI is not plugged in, they tend to default to the analog setting, so you can make the changes if you messed up. Once you fix the setting, plug your HDMI back in and check to see if the settings are ok.

I have a Sharp Aquos and I know that it can automatically adjust to whatever resolution you're watching. So it seems to me that any HDTV would have some sort of setting that can change how you watch something.

Although this should be in a tech thread, I can still help you out if you're still getting nothing.

Use your RCA cables, hook it up to your TV using the analog input, and you should get a standard def image without any problems on your TV.

Now that you can actually see the menus, complete your setup to whatever setting you wanted it for, and you should be able to go back to your HDMI cables.

Analog cables still come in handy....
