I have a Panasonic TX-L55WT50B TV and a Sony BDV-E880 Home Cinema Unit. They have been working fine for over 10 years.
They were working the last time I used it to watch a DVD about a month ago. But yesterday playing a DVD results in sound but no picture. It’s connected to the HDMI 2 (ARC) Port on the TV.
I have tried so far:-
- Disconnecting/Reconnecting the HDMI Lead.
- Different HDMI Lead.
- Disconnecting both Power Leads for an hour.
- Using different DVD’s (Blu-Ray and Standard)
- Ensuring both Units Firmware are up to date.
- Renaming the HDMI 2 Input to DVD.
- Connecting to the other 3 HDMI Sockets on the TV (HDMI 1 has a BT TV Unit connected and works fine)
- Turning On/Off Viera Link.
- I connected my laptop to the HDMI 2 Socket on the TV with the same HDMI lead I use for the Sony Unit and it displays fine.
- Factory Reset the TV.
As a final check I took the Sony Player and the HDMI lead and connected it to my TV in the bedroom and it works fine!
It seems something has happened and now they won’t talk to each other as regards the Video Signal.
I can't understand why the Sony Player works on my bedroom TV but doesn't with my Panasonic TV.
I've proved the all the HDMI Sockets work on the TV using my Laptop.
As a last resort I have ordered a new High Speed Ultra HD 2.0 Cable but I thought I would seek any other ideas people might have while I’m waiting.
