Re: HDMI Input and Channel Fix on Sony KDF-60XS955



I have two devices, an SA 8300HD cable box and a Panasonic DVD, hooked up
via HDMI cable to our Sony KDF-60XS955. But that's the only video cable
running from each device to the TV set. The cable box, as I recall, has a
menu setting for the type of cable you are using and/or for the way you want
your audio to go out of it. I run audio via separate digital cables from
those devices into my receiver. No problems.
