HDMI connections have evolved very quickly in just three years. Many cables designed initially will not work for the latest players. I do recall even Monster had made a preliminary announcement that their early HDMI cables would not have all the pins connected since there were no machines to transmit audio via HDMI....

There are a lot of early versions of cables from all manufacturers floating around out there! Since there ware only a few companies (although I have no doubt that the number has increased)initially that terminated the HDMI cables, there is the possibility that many cables that are not 1.2 or 1.3 compliant are out there.
