Not sure this is the place to post this.
I have a region free (well it’s currently “set” to region 2) Arcam blu-ray player and I have a 55 inch Vizio, and a 65 inch Vizio. This Arcam bluray player works fine on the Vizio 55 inch, but on the 65 inch Vizio:
1. Has magenta color,
and
2. No sound
Of course, Vizio blames the blu ray player, and Arcam blames the TV.
Yes I have tried every notable combination of HDMI port and all kinds of settings.
And actually, this is my second of this exact model of 65 inch Vizio and they BOTH have the same problems with the bluray player (it’s my second one because the first one had additional problems and Vizio replaced it).
Obviously it’s a compatibility issue between the region of the bluray player and the TV. So is there a way to fix it/bypass it?
Edit: setting the player to region 1 (which the TV is), and trying an appropriate region 1 disc: same problems (magenta color and no sound), so it’s not just an issue having to do with the region, but is some incompatibility between the player and TV in general. Any advice?
