I have a Sony TV connected directly to a VIP722 with an HDMI cable. Sometimes, when I turn on the TV, I get no signal from the receiver. If I turn the TV off and on several times, the connection will begin to work. I have powered off the receiver with no change. I also have a DVD player connected to the TV using another HDMI input. When I switch the cables from the DVD to the receiver, the problem stays with the receiver. The same thing happens on both TV inputs and cables. It only happens with the receiver. What can I do to fix this?
My first suspicion rests with the quality of the HDMI cable? Expensive isn't ALWAYS good, although "cheapies" can be the worst offenders. If you have a friend that'd volunteer a temporary swap, you could determine if this is your problem. Sony rarely exhibits this type of problem.

I have a DCT6416 which is essentially the same unit but with a bigger hardrive. I just had the same problem and was able to fix it.
First connect your DVR to your TV with the composite RGB cables and disconnect the HDMI. Then power your unit on. Then power it off (using the power on the DVR not a remote) and immediatly press the menu button on the DVR (not the remote). A white screen with black writing will come up. Using the down arrow buttons on your DVR go to the bottom line where it says "reset factory default" Toggle down to that and then use the right arrow key and your settings will be reset. Then exit out of that by powering off. Now remove your composite cables and replace the HDMI. You should be back up and running.

The 625 is not a high definition receiver and therefore does not support hdmi. You can use RGB or S-video to provide a higher quality picture than the coax output. If you need more options let me know. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

I am having the exact same issue. It started happening within the first few hours of turning on the XBR9 for the first time. I also have a Motorola box from Comcast. This did not happen with the HD TV that was hooked up previously. Did you return the TV?

Hi ccraigo
To answer your question;
Your motorola will connect directly(not through the dvd) to the tv set into one of the input ,(preferably using hdmi or component cables for hd) and the dvd will use a different input,
All you have to do then is switch between which one you want to watch.
Hope this help Cheers

I bought the cable from Monoprice and have had good luck with them in the past. The cable that was connected to the DVD was a different brand. Both cables and inputs on the TV behave exactly the same way when connected to the DVR. Both intermittently turn on without a signal. When either one is connected to the DVD player, neither has this problem. I don't think it's the TV. I think it's the DVR. The cables are fairly long. Before I ran the second cable, I tested it for several days without this issue. Before I ran the new cable, I swapped the DVD cable back and forth without havoing a problem Now I am having it with both the new and the old cable..
