I've followed the thread and have abt 20 yrs experience as elec. tech., but can't visualize anything you haven't already tried. There's virtually no way you could have a cable failure, even with poor quality cables since all you're dealing with is copper wire and a couple of solder or crimp connections. You can always check them with a continuity tester.

I once had an "impossible" problem regarding a tv screen that locked up in an all blue mode. As I narrowed the problem down, it seemed to happen less frequently -- was that just me being more observent or careful? Finally, as I recall, it turned out to be that I had both svid and rf inputs hooked up and there was some residual signal on one of the two inputs which was telling the TV to switch to the Video Input mode, where there happened to be no information. Something like that, anyway. My guess is that something is telling the receiver/processor to not output the comp. vid signals. Got 'scope??

ABOUT CABLES: Outlaw Audio makes some fantastic, reasonably priced cables with RCA plugs which operate much like the chuck on an electric drill. The barrel tightens a split sleeve which absolutly locks them on. A turn or two of the barrell and they practically fall off! Try them.
