I just bought my first big screen TV. It's a Sony Bravia 52". I have a Samsung DVD/VCR HDMI recorder and a new HD satellite receiver and dish.
The receiver came with a HDMI cable. I went and bought another for the DVD/VCR. Connected the DVD/VCR HDMI and it would not work. I had to put the video cables back on from the receiver to the DVD/VCR. Why? I thought HDMI cables did it all without the cable mess?
So now I have to switch between the two HDMI outputs to watch TV or to use the DVD/VCR. When I use the HDMI output for the DVD/VCR the picture is degraded due to the video cables I think? The manual for each device shows the HDMI cable hook up without the video cables. Any suggestions. Thanks John
