Whenever my receiver gets a video signal with too much white in the image the component video sync to the TV drops out, and I get a Blue screen. As soon as the white-out image goes away the Receiver syncs back up with the TV.
I had this exact same issue. I tried two different component AV switches, and shorter cables to prevent signal loss, but any time there was too much white on the screen, the video still lost sync. Plugging the sources directly into the TV solves this problem, but since I have a DVD player, a game console, etc, this was not acceptable. The way I resolved it was to (sadly?) buy an expensive component AV switch that can support the bandwidth without losing the signal.
I wound up spending the extra money on a Key Digital 4x1 component switch. It is much more expensive, but it works.

How much is too much white? Like a white title screen? Cause this is simply the receiver not sensing image data. If it is happening on shots with a white background and other colours or subjects in the foreground it may suggest a problem. What happens to the same video sources connected directly to the TV, does it lose synch there?
Fast forward 2014....Our Sceptre tv has been doing this for years. Called Sceptre years ago about the problemand they sounded clueless. Said we could mail the tv to them in California. we live in Washington. It happens when the screen is predominantly whit, as in TMobile commercials, or now, Olympic snow slopes. Any other suggestions
