This one is really bugging me...

I have a Phillips DVD player with HDMI output connected to my HD LG 42". Now the video looks superb but the Audio is dropping out very few seconds and is crackling.. Quick search on the net finds that it could be the cable or 'cheap' DVD that I have.

I've swapped out the cables (£29 & £40) and the sound is still there.. I've also changed the players (was a Toshiba) .. no change. I can't change my TV as it's a year or so old..

Am I stuck with not being able to use the HDMI because its a 'faulty' or incompatible standard?

I'll be trying to force the audio down the Digital / Coaxial channel, but I'm not convinced my LG can select that specifically...

Anyone else have / had this issue?

Errr should have called me mate...

What LG Tv you got...Last year had EXACTLY the same problem with my 42" LG, it was sent back for repair, came back and promptly exploded on my wall. Endeed up getting a new one and upgraded at the same time... give me a bell....
I got Telewest to swap thr box, no joy, so baught an LG dvd player and new lead, still the same, pic ok sound knackered, had to be tv. came back, worked for 20 mins and when POP! very loudly!
called curry's and had the useual boloxx about cunsumer rights, to which they were told they give me $$$$ back or i get legal, wanankers... spent £200 and got the 50" no problems sinse!

Seems a bit odd you have the same issue....
