OK....so I decided to get rid of my 5 year old Phillips 42 inch Plasma, and move into an updated set-up.
So, I purchased a Sony-BRAVIA XBR 46" Class / 1080p / 240Hz / LCD HDTV-KDL-46XBR9, Sony-Blu-ray Disc Player with 1080p Output-BDP-S360, and the final touch of a Sony-BRAVIA 1000W 5.1-Channel Home Theater System-HT-SS360.
I have the following configuration: Blu-ray HDMI out to AV receiver HDMI in, Top-Box-SAT HDMI out going to AV receiver in, and AV receiver HDMI out going into HDMI #1 of TV. Also, Optical out of TV into AV receiver audio in.
System works great. Sound, picture, DVDs/Blu-rays...awesome!!! The problem is, the primary reason I went with these Bravia components; aside from the ability to hook everything HDMI, was the "sync" feature offered by Sony. I thought it was a great way to go, and for the most part it is. The problem is in trying to get the components to "sync" via HDMI.
I went to Sony, and followed their advice of unplugging all components from eachother and the electrical outlet about 50 times, finally getting the TV to "find" the Blu-ray and receiver...but the TV will not "sync" them. AND, after finally getting the TV to find the components, when I turned the TV off, they were "gone" from the HDMI component list. BIG headache, but I want so bad to lessen the amount of remotes required, and have a seamless system.
Does anybody have a thought or suggestion? I watched 300 last night, Blu-ray.....what can i say except...SWEET! !!!! The persian were in big trouble! LOL
Any advice or assistance woud be greatly appreciated.
