Television: JVC I'Art AV-32DF74 (2 years old-1080i w/DVI input)
DVD: Toshiba XD-E500 (brand new-HDMI output)
Never had anything hooked up to digital input on TV (always used component hook-ups) until now. I've tried two different adapter cables, but picture has a pink tinge. Any suggestions?
ONE: First thing to do is a hard reset. Do this by unplugging the
power cord for 15 minutes. Then try it again. If that does not help,
unplug it for 3 hours, minimum and try it again.
TWO: If the reset does not help, using a dvd player connected try adjusting the screen resolution.
THREE: Check the TV menu to make sure all the correct settings on HDMI to DVi connections was set.
FOUR: If you have another tv in the house, bring it to this location
and plug it up on the same cable connection to see if it is working
FIVE: If no results, try to concisely give me the symptoms to help me understand what is going on overall.
Check whether the TV is HDCP compliant - if not this may be the problem. You can also try a different TV set or a simple Monitot which has a DVI Input. It is highly unlikely that the players hdmi socket is faulty so the problem is probably your TV. There is DVI to RGB Adaptor found in the market which will be of help to you. You can contact Bestbuy for the same. Thanks
Make sure the Geforce outputs in DVI-digital
then Boot the PC while the TV is on and
connected. This allows the card to read the EDID from the TV and provide the
best resolution...
Most displays work best at their native resolution, which
is either 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720, or 1024 x 768 for most HD TVs. It sounds
like your video card has difficulty handling resolutions that high and that may
be your problem.
One has to remember that DVI/HDMI is capable of carrying
two types of Colourspaces: RGB and YPrPb. Unless modified, the PC will always
output RGB.
Do you any other components that use HDMI that you
can test, or another HDMI port on your TV that you can use? If not, then the
best you can do is swap the cable and contact your provider about the problem, Make sure the Geforce outputs in DVI-digital

Try another HDMI compatible device on the same TV, if you get the same result then waht you want to do while the jacks are plugged in is to nudge the ports up or down left and right, then check if your screen changes looks.
-if it does, this means that your port needs attention from the inside, a possible loose or unsoldered connection.
- if it does not then you may want to clean the contacts of your tv or the jack itself.
if you have tried another HDMI compatible device on the same TV and had a diff result then you may concentrate on working with the TV alone. if it cannot be fixed by pure cleaning and corrosion removal, then you may want to get the TV checked by a certified local TV tech of the same brand...
hope this helps out, if you have other questions just lemme know...
Pink usually means the blue or green aren't coming through correctly.
Unplug all power cords
Try cleaning the contacts on both the hdmi cords and the receivers with some alcohol solvent.
It's tough to get in there, a paper match stick with a clean cut may work for you.
a thin piece of card stock will work too.
One of the contacts may have also gotten bent. I had this happen on my camcorder plug.
Good luck

Try a regular video input on the tv and on another tv, and if that pink is on both tv's then its the dvd but if it only does it to that tv your hooking it up to then there is a problem with the tv video input
well it could be the cable or the output or the video input on the tv , it will need to be tested to determine the source of the problem
then its the tv input circut or the dvd output circut( even though they never were used power is always applyed to those circuts) it needs to be tested to determine which one.
You can try to leave the HDMI cable plugged into the tv and dvd and unplug the dvd power for for a little while( 5 min.) check it , if not then unplug the tv power for a little bit , check it , if not then they need to be tested to find out which one , or take the dvd to someone you know who has that kind of input on thier tv and see if its the dvd or not
just because the dvd is new don't mean that there isn't a problem in it, but being that the tv is older, its probably the tv, but testing the dvd player on another tv is the easiest way to determine if its the dvd player or the tv. you can even take it to the place where you bought it and ask them to test it before you return it

Component out works fine, just not the digital (HDMI/DVI) connection. Unfortunately, I have limited funding so I don't have another DVD with HDMI or another TV with digital in to swap out to check which item is acting up. I was hoping this might be a situation someone else may have encountered. Both the TV and DVD work fine with component out, but why limit the picture resolution if digital hook-up is available?
I've tried 2 different HDMI - DVI cables with the same results!
I'll take a look at the contacts and plugs. The DVD is brand new, but TV is older. I have some non-conductive contact cleaner which would do well cleaning the contacts. All for the sake of a better picture...sheeesh!
Bought another DVD player with HDMI out. Same problem...guess the problem lies with the DVI-in on the TV. I think I'll live with it hooked up to composite-in...TV is too heavy to take anywhere for repair!
Video card? We aren't referring to a computer here. It's a DVD player connected to a TV with a HDMI-DVI adapter cable. The TV is 1080i, the DVD is set for 1080i, but the screen has the dreaded pink tinge. I've tried 2 different cables and now 2 different DVD players with the same results. It would appear that the DVI input on the TV is the culprit since all other connections work just fine. I've even spayed the DVI socket with contact cleaner and there's no improvement. Wingling the connection doesn't change anything, so there is something within the DVI board/connections that must be causing the problem.
