Hello, You might have multiple issues, depending on what (if any) other new hardware you are using and have not previously been successful using with HDMI. Just a stab in the dark, but, do some research on HDCP (HIGH-BANDWIDTH DIGITAL CONTENT PROTECTION) and make sure that's not your issue, nor related to your equipment configuration. That is, if you are outputting HDMI based audio and video from a computer and trying to make it all happy with a 1080p TV/monitor/audio type of setup Somehow find a way to test each component and make sure it's working. You may need to fiddle with the setting of the HDMI receiving device, or contact the manufacture and find out if the device employs HDCP, it can be turned off, or any other ideas the manufacture may have. Being you are a pioneer in this area, you might want to track down a 'HDMI Bus Analyzer' or a friend that has one: http://www.lecroy.com/tm/Options/Software/SDA-HDMI/default.asp good hunting and good luck! hth, James -- MFD
