“intermittent loss of audio and video I have a Sony BDP-S1500 Blu-ray player playing a new Star Wars blu-ray Complete Saga DVD set through a Rocketfish 4-port HDMI switch to a 2007 Panasonic TH-50PZ700U plasma TV. During the movie I lost both audio and video 3 times for about 2 seconds each time. I've been told that my problem is I need a TV with a refresh rate of 120HZ. I believe my TV has a refresh rate of 60HZ. From what I've read, it appears that may not be the solution. I've taken the Sony player back and received a new one. Still have the same problem. I'm wondering if the Switch could be the problem. I'd appreciate your help.”

Most likely, I am having ty he same types of issues. It.has to do with the HDMI bidirectional or control signal
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This issue is likely the switcher, or possibly a low quality cable. To test, you could remove the switcher from the chain and try to watch your movie. If it works fine, switch to the other cable and watch again. once you have eliminated the cables as the issue, you will know it is the switcher.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.well I realize this was 11 months ago but I just been going through some of these and I'm hoping that you fixed your problem already but if you happen trying taking the splitter out of the line and go direct from your DVD to your TV and see if you have the same problem if you do you know it's not the splitter. and if you don't then you know it is the splitter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That Rocketfish HDMI switch did the same thing to me with 3 different units so I gave up on it and took it back. I got a different one and so far, so good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The best test for this would be to connect the Bluray directly to the TV (bypass the HDMI switch) and if it does not cut out, the issue is in the switch. If it continues to cut out, the issue is elsewhere. Try unplugging the power to the TV, Bluray, and Rocketfish switch, make sure all the HDMI connections are secure, then plug them all back in and turn them on. This will allow them to boot up together and potentially fix any issues.
