Had my 622 for about a year now. I remember hearing some horror stories regarding HDMI not working properly, or working for only a short time then going "out".

Is this still a problem for others? Reason I ask is because mine went out the other day. *E sent a rep that replaced the 622, but after only a few min. the new 622 HDMI connect went "out". HE said I must have a bad cable????????

He wants me to use the component outputs, but I use them for my DVD.

They are sending another rep today and replace the 622 again, but I wanted to know if others are still having the HDMI issues, and if they are being told to use the component instead of HDMI......:mad:

This is my take on this HDMI issue. About a year ago most of the HDMI failures were hardware related but with the last rounds of software updates they manage to break the 211s and some 622s HDMI ports. So I would say that this time around it's software related and I would wait until the next software update comes and fixes it.

Since you already have one 622 replaced, I would say your problem is software related. It wouldn't hurt to replace the HDMI cable just to make sure it's not the cable. You can buy them cheap at www.monoprice.com
