trying to watch 3d blu rays?

[Craig]

I've just purchased an lg440 3d player paired with my Samsung tv to go with my new pioneer vsx 824 k amp. Now it all runs through the hdmi inputs on the amp and then connects to the TV through hdmi. Here's the problem when I went to watch a 3d movie it keeps flicking on and off saying switch back to 2d. It's baffling me. Any ideas?

Are your cables HDMI v1.4, there's something about the HDMI version to do with 3D (just a thought).
I bought a v1.4 HDMI cable for my TV which works, but I've not plugged it through an amp, DO the HDMI ports on your amp support v1.4/3D, or is there a specific v1.4 HDMI port.
You could test the cables by bypassing the amp as a first test, if the Blu-ray player works when directly connected to the TV the cables are fine, so you'll need to look at the amp setup/port/3d support etc..

I'm out of ideas now, better get back to work lol.

I was thinking I could of bought the wrong cable. I will double check first. I will connect it to the TV. Then go from there.

Cheers mate

Have a maplin moment if you get really stuck.

Right I connected it straight to the TV and it worked. So I changed the hdmi cables about. The connected them back through the amp and it still didn't work. I double checked the instructions it says the amp accepts 3d signals it's baffling me.

something in thge amp settings?

 

[Craig]

Nothing in the amp settings mate I've been through them loads of times. I wouldn't mind it will play the blu rays without 3d.

Well I've sort of sorted it. I've ran the hdmi to the TV then there's a coaxial that's assignable on the amp it's my cd player that uses it. So I ran a coax from the dvd to it at it work. I've got surround sound. I will swap it back once I've watched the 3d films. Bit of s ballache

Thought the issue was 3d not the audio.
I think your amp is only 3d ready (whatever that means)

It is mate I was just playing around with connections really. It could well be then mate. Will have to keep looking. At the moment its all connected back up the correct way so the 3d dvd keeps flickering and going off yet can watch blu ray perfectly. Arrgh technology
