Brand new setup arrived the other day. Sharp Aquos 46xD1e, Pioneer VSX-AX4ASi and Q1010 set.
PS3 > AX4ASi > TV all through 'Monster' HDMI cables.
Add the usual Xbox360, PS3 etc.. and all works sweet with the sole exception when the PS3 is in 1080p mode, some content makes the screen flick on the bottom of the display as if it's loosing sync half way down the screen for a couple of frames then back for a few seconds of perfect pic then flicks again. It's not uniform it mainly seems to flicker when a lot of data is being sent over the cable such as lots of sharp colour changes on the horizontal plus a heavy music track. (I'm presuming the signal is compressed rather than a raw uniform bitstream).
I've plugged the PS3 cables straight into the TV and all is well, it's just when it goes through the AX4ASi I get the flicker problems. 720p is fine, it's only on 1080p with certain repeatable images (i.e. Grand Turismo - car rotation screen - the game part is fine).
What I've tried:
Changed cables for fresh wallet-sucking premium cables = flicker.
Tried Shorter cables = flicker.
Tried both US and UK PS3 = flicker.
Tried other content = repeatable flicker.
Reset AX3ASi to factory settings = flicker.
Plugged PS3 directly into Aquos (with all cables) = NO flicker
I'm presuming that the problem is the AX4ASi when it handles the 1080p passthrough.
Any thoughts before I send this puppy back and buy something else? (and move to what, any suggestions?)
