How to Troubleshoot the HDMI on a Philips DVR

Some Philips digital video recorders, often called DVRs, use high definition multimedia interface cables, often called HDMI, to make the connection between device and TV. The HDMI cable replaces component video, S-Video and AV cables. HDMI usually carries both audio and video unlike Component Video and others. HDMI allows for digital transfer rather than analog and can take advantage of outputs all the way up to 1080 progressive scan. Sometimes you can run into problems using HDMI with the Philips DVR.
