WD Media Player won't connect to TV through HDMI
I recently entered the wonderful world of HDTV when I bought a Samsung LN37B530. I then purchased a WD TV HD Media Player which was simply AMAZING! However, for some reason I can no longer connect my TV with the Media Player through an HDMI port!
 The TV simply says there "no signal". There are 3 HDMI ports on my TV: none will work with the WD Player. I also have 2 HDMI cables - a 6' and a 10': neither works with the WD. Both cables & all 3 ports work with my blu ray player. I did have a 4' HDMI cable which worked with the Media Player, but I traded that away. I have updated the firmware for both the TV & the WD player - no joy. The WD Player works with the RCA composite Jacks, but really, what's the point? Is there some limit on the length of HDMI cable that the WD Player will be able to accomodate? Or is it my TV? Thanks!!  |

Some HDTVs do not accept 480i signals via HDMI. Make sure you're not sending 480i and give it another try. You may need to connect via component video cables to set the output to something other than 480i, if this device has them. See the following FAQ on HDMI Issues:

I just bought a WD HD Media Player. I haven't yet connected it to my HDTV via HDMI. I will try it this weekend and let you know.
Update: I connected it to my HDTV via HDMI, played HD content, and it worked as advertised. It also played non-HD content. I used the default settings. Last edited by smark1958 : 09-11-2009 at 10:02 PM. |
