ONkyo 807 issue using HDMI over Cat6 faceplates?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Ok so I did this full remodel at the house where we cut back drywall and ran lines like a spider. I built and AV closet and ran HDMIs to almost every room. I opt'ed to uses the Mono**ice HDMI faceplates that run the HDMI over 2 cat6 lines which made it alot easier.
HOWEVER-
For some reason when I plug my onkyo 807 into the hdmi faceplates it cuts the Onkyo. By that i mean it consistanly resets like i'm pushing a source button ( sound comes, dispay shows source, then sound cuts & display resets...constantly) I have certified that my lines are good and it runs the samsung BD3600 without a problem. 
I have also ran a direct line from the onkyo, across the floor to the TV and it worked fine.
 Surely a 50ft run is not too long right?
Is the onkyo HDMI output not "strong" enough?
is there anything I can do short of cutting drywall and running a real HDMI?

ANY help or input would be greatly appriciated!!

I know this is an old post, but in my experience I found that the handshake between the cat6 to hdmi adapters and Onkyo recievers don't work.  I've tried a 15 foot stretch and it still didn't work.  I've had to connect the source(bluray player, cable box, . . . ) straight to the tv for it to work.  Sometimes I have to add an hdmi conditioner/amplifier to get it to not flicker when a light switch is turned on/off.  I haven't found any to work with a receiver yet.  I was searching for cat6 to hdmi adapters that do work with Onkyo, or any, receivers. Let me know if anyone has found any.
