Hi all,
I am really hoping someone on here can help as having briefly trawled the net last night found no easy fix for what I was hoping was a simple problem
I have had my Onkyo in the front room connected to my Sky HD box (HDMI IN1) and a 3D TV for about a year now with no issues mostly playing movies via USB or across my network from my NAS. After moving home and now being the proud owner of a man cave (conservatory the missus calls it) I have decided to set it up as my gaming room and stole the Onkyo which she is not really fussed about anyway....result or so I thought
"Man Cave" Setup
Samsung LE40M86BD 40" LED TV
Sony PS4 (Connected to Onkyo via HDMI IN1)
Sky HD Box (Connected to Onkyo via HDMI IN2)
Onkyo tx-sr605 (Connected to TV via HDMI OUT)
Problem
Fired up COD on the PS4 and started playing with the video signal to the TV dropping every 5 minutes or so losing the picture for about 10 seconds before coming back on. I have been playing COD with this setup since the PS4 was launched with the same kit except the Onkyo so in my mind it has to be this that is causing the problem. I am hoping its a configuration setting and not hardware related
For information tonight I am planning on trying a few things to see if I can eliminate the culprit
1. Playing a movie through the sky box to see if this is OK (or not)
2. Bring my 3D more modern TV through from the sitting room and trying the PS4 and COD again
3. Switching HDMI leads around, I have about 4 or 5 pairs of varying quality, not sure if this is a probable cause but as part of the problem solving figure its worth a shot
4. Tinkering with the Onkyo output settings (Must admit I am a newbie at this but with trusty google by my side will give it a go)
Any help or suggestions is most appreciated
Thanks
Jon
