I have a Samsung HD945 player with an HDMI output. I have an ACER HD ready TV with a DVI input. I have connected using a HDMI-HDMI lead (using a DVI converter at the TV end) and I have the strangest picture. It looks like photograph negative but in colour. Acer say it's not the TV which I believe. I'm in the UK and we are all new to this. For info I have not adjusted any settings on the TV or DVD player.
Is this a straight forward cabling issue or a faulty cables/equipment?
With that combination of components, neither known for its reliability, difficult to say where your problem lies. Could be the DVI converter. Might start by borrowing a HDMI to DVI cable.
