Is the broadcast format set to your area, there are just 2 used on the planet, one is PAL and the other NTSC, you will find it in the TV's main menu.

My tv keeps telling me "invalid format". It is a HD tv and everytime that this "invalid format" comes on the screen it skips. How do i fix that?

Okay you need to call the company and they will give you some firmware to download to your TV. Just tell them the same thing you told us about what the TV is doing.

My tv says invalid format when i connect my ps3 using an hdmi cable

Your PS3 is sending a 1080P signal to a TV that can only handle 720P or 1080i. Connect the PS3 using the A/V cables, fix the resolution and then go back to HDMI.

Zenith Z42P3 "Invalid Format" message from upconverter DVD

Ran into the same problem with this DVD player and my LG tv. Try this:
Open the DVD tray, with the DVD tray open press the HDMI select button until the proper resolution for your tv is illuminated, put the DVD back in, close the tray and try again. Simple fix -- worked beautifully for me.

Good luck
