Sony KDL52V5100 and HDMI inputs

I purchased a Sony KDL52V5100 from Best Buy in July, 2009. Nice television. I have a Dishnetwork 922 DVR/Receiver as well a Klipsch theatre system attached to the HDMI inputs. Suddenly, this weekend, the television would not pick up a signal from the Dishnetwork receiver, message saying "no signal". I changed the HDMI cable, purchased a new one, moved it to all of the other HDMI inputs, (#2, 3, & 4), brought out the other Sony tv and hooked up both HDMI cables, again with no signal. We were able to watch movies on the Klipsch DVD/Theatre system. Dishnetwork sent a repairman out, thinking it had to be in the Dishreceiver. He moves the HDMI cable from HDMI #1 input to #2, and walla, a picture. Unbelievable. Now, no picture with the Klipsch DVD/Theatre, only sound and a green screen. Could this problem be all in the HDMI inputs on the tv? The #1 input, which had the Dishnetwork receiver originally in it, does appear slightly loose, but not enough that the cable will not stay in it. And why now the problem with the HDMI input for the DVD/Theatre? Any ideas? Anyone else have this kind of problem? Is this a Sony TV problem with the HDMI inputs, or the cables, which we've changed once already with new ones.

Problem solved! With the Klipsch DVD/Theatre system, if you are using a HDMI cable, you must also attach the video in/video out cables. Beautiful picture now and terrific sound.

Connect MacBook to LCD TV HDMI Input

Is it possible to connect a MacBook to my Sony Bravia LCD HDMI Input? Will the image be better than connecting it via VGA?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
HDMI will be better than VGA because VGA is analog and HDMI is digital. If you have an aluminum MacBook, it has a mini-DisplayPort plug. You can buy an Apple (or third party) mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter and then find an HDMI to DVI cable. There are now a couple of third party vendors making mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapters but I'm not sure if they're available in Singapore.
Keep in mind that the mini-DisplayPort does not carry any audio even though HDMI could. So, you'll probably also want to get an audio cable to connect your headphone port to the audio inputs of the TV or stereo.

HDMI input

Just bought a new TV - old one died - which has all the whizzy features you expect of a new TV like HD and HDMI inputs so bought some HDMI cables. Well the picture is better but unlike the DVD player which when you turn it on autoswitches the TV to the correct HDMI input, the Vision box does not. I want to be able to turen on my vision box and the TV switch correctly. Can it do this? Have I missed something in the setup?
Thanks

There is nothing in the setup of the Vbox which forces this, but the TV may have a setting to suggest where it goes to when it powers up. Actually the vbox sometimes has output on the HDMI cable when it is in standby, so you may find you'd regret it if your TV autoswitched after a while.
Personally I prefer my electronics to go where I want them to go rather than making it up for themselves. Each to their own.

DVI and HDMI

Hi..
I bought a new 24" 1080p HD LCD Monitor which has both DVI and HDMI inputs.. but my VGA Card is NX7600GS-T2D256EH which has 2 DVI out puts... Do I need to buy a VGA card with HDMI output to get 1080p HD resoulution or can I get 1080p output using DVI?
Thx

kamalmawa,
Yes, 2048x1536 and 2560x1600 are both greater then 1920×1080.
But then again, I never studied new math, so I could be wrong.
Richard
some guy told me that I must have HDMI for 1080p and he also told me about 1080p and 1080i which really made me confused...
I found an article about DVI simply explained in here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI
But I wanted to confirm with you guys as you guys more experienced in this kind of things..
Thx again for the reply Richard..

EDID file for SONY KDL40-XBR2 with HDMI input (for W510)

Hello community,
Please does anybody has a configured EDID monitor file for a SONY KDL40-XBR2 LCD TV? I'm using the HDMI input with a DisplayPort - HDMI cable and the image is awful. The monitor driver in Windows 7 is "Generic PnP Monitor" and it's pretty old. The problem is the text: fonts are pretty ugly...
I would like to over ride the settings using the NVidia control panel but don't have a valid EDID file configured for HDMI input.
I use right now the VGA port on my SONY KDL40-XBR2 and the image quality is better and the fonts are fine.
Can someone please provide a hint here?

Of course, SONY is not providing generic INF monitor files for their line of LCDTV's... no wonder they are going down!

HDMI and PC inputs do not work on my 37AV502R LCD TV

HDMI inputs and PC inputs do not work consistently
my Apple TV (HDMI) and computers 2 on HDMI, 1 on PC, display just fine n the TV but after a while the TV goes blank,
the time is not consistent sometime a few minutes, sometimes a few hours,
but every time, after the TV goes blank there is nothing I can do, the TV just stays blank, if I unplug and turn back on the TV displays the image for a split second and goes bank again,
I thought it might be an overheating thing, however sometimes the PC input will stop working but the HDMI input (either one) will work fine,
has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
A.

I'm having the same issue. As soon as I connect it to VGA or HDMI, it goes into a cycle of flashing on-and-off. A guy on youtube had the same problem (posted a video identical to my problem) and reportedly fixed it with a firmware update.
The problem: the US website doesn't have a firmware download. The canadian website does, but the update is from 4/2009, and the manufactured date on the back of my TV is 5/2009. (I also tried the update, but it didn't fix the problem).
When I call Toshiba to ask about the firmware update, after they confirm I am out of warranty, their automated system keeps hanging up on me. So frustrating.

You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

HP Pavilion dv9218tx Notebook PC and HDMI audio problem with Sony TV and Windows 7

Sound does not come through with the HDMI connection and, on investigation, there is no HDMI audio driver/option.
Noting that there seemed to be an issue with windows 7 and HDMI audio which is addressed by updating the BIOS and the connexant sound driver I have done so to no effect.
The Sony TV is recognised as a standard monitor in the devices for graphics but not for audio
Suggestions as to why HDMI does not appear - including as a disabled service - and what to do t get is available?

Get an HDMI switcher. Plug in the ATV directly to the TV and then use the switcher on the other input.

Apple TV and TV without HDMI input?

Hi,
I have a TV that doesn't have an HDMI input. I have an Apple TV connected to it using a HDMI-DVI convertor and everything seems to be working fine. When I download a movie and try watch it, it doesn't play. Could this be because the Apple TV is connected to the TV using the HDMI-DVI converter?
Kind Regards

A540 How do I switch between HDMI and PC inputs?

When I have an HDMI source plugged into the A540, I haven't been able to figure out how to switch between HDMI and PC inputs. How is this accomplished?

You can browse the other store but unless you have a credit card and billing address in the other country you will not be able to purchase.
All prices are in the local currency of that country that you are browsing.

I have an older Hitachi widescreen 1080p TV that has a DVI input, no HDMI input. Is there an adapter and if so will it still work?

I have an older Hitachi widescreen 1080p TV that has a DVI input, no HDMI input. Is there an adapter and if so will it still work?

As HDMI is the only supported method there will no guarantee with any converter.
DVI doesn't tranfer audio so you would have to either go through optical to connect speakers, or use a DAC in connection with analogue speakers.
Also, unless the TV is HDCP compliant you will be unable to play protected content (ie iTunes, Netflix)

Hissing sound and loss of display brightness in top left corner, bad HDMI input

've had this monitor for about 3 years. The only problems encountered until yesterday was the occasional power on but no picture. This would be resolved by unplugging the set for a few minutes then plugging it back in.
Yesterday, I noticed the display was slightly darker in the top left quadrant. A few hours later, a hissing sound started coming from the unit (not from the speakers). Also, I have my cable signal sent to my HDMI 1 input, but tv was telling me it wasn't receiving a signal. Switched it to HDMI 3 input and problem resolved. But now I seem to have a useless HDMI input.
I use this monitor for my computer as well, using the HDMI 2 input. As I currently write, the hissing noise has subsided, but still no change in brightness in the dimmer part of the screen.
When the hissing DOES occur, it tends to be louder when the display is showing brighter pictures and videos.
Can anyone give me any insight into what might be wrong? 3 years seems to be short life span if the TV has gone bad.

What's the TV's model number? I'll check if there's any support information about this.
