Pioneer BDP-05FD hdmi handshake issues

My BDP-05FD>BlueJean HDMI 1.3>Pioneer Elite SC-07 receiver>BlueJean HDMI 1.3>151FD. Has worked fine and has played every disc. My only nit is how long it takes a disc to que up.

Hope you get some help over at AVS.

I also had issues doing hdmi to the receiver and component to the tv which was to the older crt mits I owned.
If you look around there isn't much dif. in video quality between the good players. This is in the opinion of a respected member at avs. /mine,2.
I tried to get the Panny 35--or the 55 but they are both discontinued---there is a new series coming soon.
Last night I watched "The Craft" from my dvr. That pq was as good as anything I have ever seen. HD quality differs and once in a while it is superb;esp. on a great display.

Yes quality does differ lots, currently find my viewing driven by picture quality rather than content. Water is fascinating on the 151, you can see down into it. Apparently Rambo3 is supposed to be outstanding on bluray, if I can sit thru it again I will watch for the effects.

Maybe part of the problem is I am going directly from the 05 to the plasma for video, skipping the receiver, then sending audio ou thru the analogues to my multichannel cj pre/amp.
I purchased the 05 with the intent of using its dac and analagoes out. Alternatively I have the denon 5900 and 5803AVR setup with dvi to my sony crt for 1080i( which now is matched by DTV-HD). Currently using the 5803 to power 16 ceiling speakers (8"NHT), but I may use the 5803 as pre-preamp.

Don't you guys lose something routing hdmi thru receiver first?

Don't you guys lose something routing hdmi thru receiver first?

I run my Panny 35 via HDMI into an Onkyo 805 and then HDMI from the 805 to my display. Its a direct pass through and doesn't alter the signal at all. I've tried it both ways to be sure (i.e. from the panny straight to the display) and there's no difference in quality that I can discern.

I can second Cruz123's observation.---no diff.
