I have a Onkyo3 SR04 hooked up to comcast Motorola cable box and Syntax Olievia 32" LCD TV using component output. When I set up the cable box output as 720p for HD, I have no problem watching HD programs. However, if I switch to 1080i, the screen starts to flicking very often when watching HD, sometimes it will even black out (blue screen) for several seconds. If I connect my cable box directly to my TV with the same component cables, the flicking was gone. Any advice? Thanks
Component video has a max resolution of 720p. in order to use 1080i or p you have to use hdmi or dvi connections. That is why you get the flicker.
Connect it to hdmi dvi input on your tv and ypou will be Ok
I have an Olevia 32" HDTV as well, but it's native resolution is 720P. If I try to set it to 1080, it flickers. Make sure your tv's native resolution is 1080. If not, that's your problem.
