• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have a slight problem with my mac to TV connection which i hope you good people may be able to advise me on.

I have sync'd my macbook pro to my panasonic HDtv via a miniport cable/hdmi and TOSlink digital audio out.

I've connected the cables up via my onkoyo AV receiver in the correct manor,power up the mac, switch on the TV,select the correct hdmi input and the mac does display the picture and the av receiver outputs the sound but AFTER about 2 minutes or so it losses its signal and displays 'snow' on the tv and then the signal intermittently flickers back and forth (picture-snow-picture snow, etc) but the macs display's screen keeps its picture.!! I have also tried connecting the hdmi from the mini-port adaptor direct to the TV leaving the AV receiver out and its still the same.

any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

( if this is in the wrong section i apologise and could a mod please move it to the correct one)

Dave
