Pixelation problems My Panasonic LCD tv with an arcam avr600 receiver experiences a video problem. One full vertical half of the television will frequently go into 3/4 boxes that flicker then go away. It does not do it all the time and there doesn't seem to be a pattern ie channel, color, time of day etc that seems to create any consistency. I'm not even sure how to name the problem. Is it pixelation - not classically because the boxes take up half the set. My gut feeling is that it has something to do with the Arcam which we have been very disappointed with. Any suggestions???

I thought it might be heat related, so I put a small battery operated fan behind the receiver, and voila, no more clicking. I just have to invest in rechargable batteries or an electric fan.

It cant up-convert component to hdmi. Input and output has to be the same. However, you wont lose anything cuz hdmi and component are comparable

I had this same problem with my Arcam AVR300. I ended up shipping mine to an Arcam repair center and they repaired it and shipped it back for under $200. The problems were cracked connection on the start relay and they replaced power supply diodes. Very well worth it and now I can enjoy it again!

Seems you set it to "Stereo Direct" mode. This is an analog only mode, while you are using a digital signal. You can change this with the mode button.
Press menu, on the main menu screen 1, scroll down to stereo direct. Turn this OFF.
This should solve your issue!
