Greetings all.

I have three devices (2x BD and what I call a "games console") going into my HD621, with the HDMI-out going to the TV, and a single SPDIF to the 818. It's worked fine for years.

Now, the screen is periodically losing the image, with the 818's relays clicking in sympathy. Every few minutes...

Help diagnosing this please?

It happens on both BD players, not just one, and swapping the cables makes no difference. So it's either the HD621 itself or the cable to the TV. Regarding the latter, the way handshaking works, if the HD621-TV connection handshakes in the middle of playing a DVD, I'm suspecting it could/would give the same symptoms, even though the connection is downstream from the HD621.

Suggestions?
