I have an interesting problem and I am out of ideas as to how to fix it. My audio receiver (Marantz) has two HDMI out ports. I use one for my DirecTV receiver and the other for the PS3. Recently when scrolling through the PS3 menu and especially when trying to watch a blu-ray or DVD either the sound or the picture continually flickers on and off. It makes it impossible to watch anything since you either cannot hear or cannot see all of what is going on. I thought it might be the PS3 so I tried everything I could think of with it and had no luck. I tried a different HDMI cable and no change. I then thought maybe it was the audio receiver so I tried switching which HDMI out port is used for the PS3. That did not work either. The blu-ray still had the same problem and the DirecTV worked perfectly on the other HDMI out port. At that point I was at a loss so I bought a cheap blu-ray player that I wanted to use in another room anyway. I tried hooking up the new blu-ray player to both HDMI out ports on the audio receiver and had the same problems. I tried multiple blu-ray disks and the same thing happens regardless of the disk. Another strange thing is that when I put a game into the PS3 it plays with no sound/picture problems. I do not know what to try now. I suppose it could be the audio receiver but why does the DirecTV signal work fine on both HDMI out ports and with any HDMI cable I have tried? Does anyone have any suggestions? Bryan
