Sharp LC-60LE640U & HDMI question???

[kpodolski]

I have a question regarding the above TV with HDMI.

I have six video sources, all with HDMI, hooked up to the Sharp. A ScientificAtlanta cable box, Magnavox HDD recorder, Panasonic DVD-RAM recorder, Onkyo DV-SP1000 dvd player, Pioneer BDP-51FD & a Classe CDP-300. The Sharp has four HDMI inputs so I am using a Monoprice HDMI swith box for a few of the sources.

My issue is this; everything works fine except for the Classe and the Onkyo. No matter how they are connnected to the Sharp (direct or through the Monoprice switcher), I have picture but no sound. They previously worked fine with my 52" Sony LED. Audio to my Classe SSP-600 via digital connections are fine.

I'm thinking that since these are older players, maybe they have an older spec' HDMI that is not totally compatible with the new Sharp????

Any ideas would be appreciated.....

I thought all HDMI were backwards compatible.

If your devices worked previously on your Sony, I don't see why they shouldn't work on your Sharp.

Could it be a bad HDMI connection in the Sharp? A bit of a pain, but did you try all the direct HDMI inputs with your Classe and Onkyo and one of the other devices that provided both sound and audio?

Tried using a few different HDMI cables all with the same results. I even emailed Classe for advise but they seemed a little stumped. Truthfully, it's not a big deal. I mainly use the Classe as a CD player and the Onkyo is on its last leg; it doesn't even read SACD's any longer. Been looking for an excuse to buy the new Oppo universal player!
