Either your cable is bad, or the blu-ray player is. Have you tried a separate cable?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nope, it shouldn't matter what HDMI you have the TV or Blu-ray plugged into, but don't forget to program into the remote that you need to change TV inputs when switching from TV to Blu-ray.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.First of all, does the blu-ray player work if you directly connect it to the TV without the HDMI switch? If it works, then it may be an issue with the switch. If it doesn't, then it's either the player or cable. Also try connecting your blu-ray player with the HDMI cable you use for the cable box just to eliminate the possibility that we're not dealing with a faulty cable. If it still doesn't work, does your blu-ray player have component cable (red, blue, green) connectors too? On one of my blu-ray players, it was set to output on component instead of HDMI. If this is the case and you still have your product manual, there may be a way to switch the output signal from component to HDMI without having to use the on-screen menu. If not, you'll have to connect it with component cables first so that you can see the on-screen menu, select output via HDMI and then you can then connect your HDMI cable.
