TV blinks out at random times...is it a long HDMI cable, or other issue? Have the receiver hooked to DirecTV and PS3 -- all via HDMI cable.

I had the same problem with my HD DVR and plasma TV. I tried 3 different cables, 2 Directv boxes, and finally called tv repair. Apparently there are common issues with HDMI connectors. They came out and replaced the HDMI board in my TV, and did a software upgrade, and now it's fine. I've also seen where there has been an issue with crossed wires in HDMI cables, so that would be the easiest check first. If you do, try a different brand of cable.

If your cable is name brand, it isn't too long to offer any signal loss. I have HDMI and the connector is not very secure. Try jiggling the connector a little to see if the picture improves (no kidding). Try connecting directly to your tv (if your tv has HDMI). If it works, it must be a configuration problem with your Yamaha, or a technical limitation using HDMI. For that matter, maybe the Yamaha can't work with a cable that long?

some television's have a placing the place you may choose to deliver video purely by using HDMI. Your television is probable set that way so purely exchange it in the menu settings. yet the place's the unique audio source coming from? A cable field, dvd participant, antenna? right this is an occasion on how i'd connect issues: Cable field to receiver by skill of skill of HDMI Receiver to television by skill of skill of HDMI this style your source audio is going right this moment to the receiver and the receiver is sending the video to the television.

From my experience 6 meter cables seems to be about the limit on HDMI. If you are over that you can use a signal repeater.

You might want to try hooking it up this way:
DirecTV box to tv via HDMI (for video only)
PS3 to tv via HDMI (for video only)
DirecTV box to Yamaha via optical audio cable (for audio only)
PS3 to Yamaha via optical audio cable (for audio only)
Or it just might be the cable is too long or defective.
