OK - here's an odd one...
I've had my system in place for about 10 years now and - beyond occasionally upgrading some of the components - it has more or less been fine.
I have a Panasonic Viera 3D 50" Plasma TV (purchased one year ago) which is connected up to a SONY STR-DH810 A/V receiver which in turn is connected up to 4 different sources (Sony UK BR player, Panasonic US BR player, Toshiba HD DVD and the final input is for a HDMI hub where several devices like Apple TV are connected).
The lead which connects the back of the TV to the input on the A/V receiver has a splitter so that another HDMI cable (a long one) also connects up my OPTOMA HD200x Projector. So when I want to watch something on the big projector screen rather than the TV, I turn the TV off, fire up the Optoma projector and the A/V receiver and select the source from which I want to view.
And that has all worked fine... until about two months ago.
I now find that the projector cannot make the connection with the US Panasonic Blu Ray player (HDMI 2) though it has no problems with the other 3 inputs (HDMI 1, 3 & 4).
It's not a cable issue or a player issue as when I select the US BR player input (HDMI2) when watching TV it continues to work fine.
Looked at the settings on the player and can't see any obvious reason why I should only get this problem now - Is the fact that it is a Panasonic (with Viera mode switched on) BR player connected up to a Panasonic TV - one from the US, the other from the UK - the problem? Do I need a software update on the player?
It's a mystery - but annoying as I can only play non-region coded US discs now if I want to use the projector ..... though works fine when viewed on my TV.
Any ideas?
