I copied this from the link in post #18. I did not know that the power up sequence "depends on your equipment". I thought that 3,4,5 was the "only way" to do it, because, that had been the way that had been working for me.

EDIT 1: Upon further testing, mine doesn't seem to care which way I turn it on. I just tried 5,4,3, (Echo, TV, AVR) I think I like this better. Echo gets a 2 or 3 second head start.

Recommended Power-up sequence to reduce HDCP / HDMI Handshake problems - Also used when changing or connecting HDMI sources, distribution equipment or displays

1. Power-off all equipment (At the wall socket).
2. Ensure all Cables, Splitters, Switches, Extenders are connected within the HDMI Distribution Network.
3. Power on all Splitters, Switches, Extenders within HDMI Distribution Network.
4. Power on all displays and set to HDMI input from HDMI Distribution Network (Source device need to be able to contact display to retrieve EDID information)
5. Power on Sources / Players. Ensure that a path is open from source to display for HDCP handshake negotiation by selecting the proper input on HDMI Switches or HDMI switch/splitter combo's via the remote control (Sources negotiates HDCP Handshake via HDMI Network to displays which is set to HDMI input to respond to handshake).

Some displays will negotiate HDCP handshake / timing better if the source are already powered on and you may need to change points 3,4,5 above to 4,3,5 or 4,5,3 depending on your equipment.

Here is another article that I like: http://www.quantumdata.com/resources/Wh ... DCP_WP.pdf

The guy's thorough I suppose; but I concur.

OP - I didn't read your post but I saw handshake - you try EDID overides?
