I have an first gen mits hd RPTV monitor, and I'm processing sound and picture through a Boston Acoustics (think Outlaw) A/V receiver, routing all video to the TV via component cables. Just recently, my picture has begun to "dissappear" behind what looks somewhat like a comb, progressing rapidly to a blue screen. It seems to happen on hd signals first, and I seem to lose my 480 p DVD signal last. Any suggestions/thoughts? I'd like to keep the mits because I really like the picture. (Plus I'm cheap.)

Re: RPTV video problem

Have you tried bypassing the A/V receiver?

Re: RPTV video problem

I've now isolated the problem to the HD input on my monitor. Any thoughts?

First generation Mitsubishi...!? The cheap solution is to try using the next best input (S-Video). The most sensible solution, given its primitive level of HD performance and age, would be to replace it rather than repair it.

Re: RPTV video problem

Unplug and replug each cable end twice. This should clean and improve the connections if that happens to be the root of the problem.
