hdmi easy link

[sparkcle]

Hello i just bought a new DVD modèle No HTS3201/12 connected to flat screen with HDMI.

HDMI Easylink and HDMI option are desactivated in the MENU.

I can't start my DVD player with this configuration, i have to unplung the HDMI cable, start DVD and then plug the Cable.

Is there a way to make it work properly (the HDMI connector will not last long plugin it and inplugit every day)

Thanks a lot.

Dear Sparkcle,

for info: do you connect your HTS to a Philips TV or not?

Hello,

I've found this interesting detail in your product's manual

pag. 17:

EasyLink
The home theater supports Philips EasyLink, which
uses the HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) protocol. EasyLink-compliant devices that
are connected through HDMI can be controlled by a single remote control.
Philips does not guarantee 100% interoperability with all HDMI-CEC devices.

What you need
• HDMI-CEC compliant devices.
• An HDMI connection between the connected devices.

Have you checked your Dell Flat Screen on pourpose?

Could your issue be related to this point?
