Probably a handshaking issue. Turn both off and then turn on the tv first switch to hdmi and then put the player on. Then try the other way and put the player on first then the tv.

That's good. I get it occasionally myself when switching between digital and analogue inputs from the same player. I have to everything off and then on again to pick up the hdmi connection.
