said by Goliath:i did try components and they do work. so my guess is that its either the HDMI cables themselves or an issue with the DVR and particular setups that i have..
one thing i must say is that the HDMI's that im using are all "Belkin Pure AV" cables. so im gonna run to walmart tomorrow and try some cheap brand cables to see if that works, if not then there's definitely something up with the sony/DCX combo.
Yeah, definitely sounds like an HDMI-related issue. Sorry to hear things only worked temporarily! It would be something if the cheap cables worked. That's what I use and I don't have any issues with my Sony XBR LCD...
