I am having problems with the HDMI hookup between my new Panny 50" 9UK and my H20. Running the HDMI cable directly to the plasma gives me a wonderful picture for all HD channels (OTA and satellite) but when I switch to any non-HD channel I get a "no signal" message and a blank screen. The direct connection via the component cables works normally.

I presume there is something I am overlooking, but a couple of hours of staring at the manuals was unproductive.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

If HDMI works for HD but not SD the usual problem is that you are sending the TV a resolution that it can't handle. I don't know your TV so can't give you a precise answer. What resolution(s) are set on your H20?

Thanks, texasbrit. I have selected each of the listed resolutions in the H20 setup. The TV is a new Panasonic HD plasma. It handles all resolutions OK when I use the component output from the H20

I had the same problem. I just went into the setup menu, and turned off the 480i. When I tried to watch SD in 480i I got the message of "Mode Not Supported". So I guess I have to watch all SD in 480p.

That worked for me too. THANK YOU!!

I'm glad you got it worked out. When I connected my 23" Philips LCD HDTV
via HDMI/DVI, all channels, HD, digital SD and analog SD locked in precisely
without changing any settings other than switching my display's input from
component to DVI.
