hi,the bd player is a sharp and the tv a lg 3000,sorry should have said opps.

If your TV's HD-Ready then it must be able to accept 720p or 1080i video. Check you haven't got any 'auto' settings left on, either on the BD player or the TV, which could automatically switch to 1080.

no it just keeps saying can not do it,hav noting on auto dont know wot am doing wrong could it be the lead or does that not matter,cheers.

the lead shouldn't matter for 1080i or 720p, that only becomes an issue with 1080p and older cables.

How's about you let us know what all the video settings are on the blu-ray player and TV and we'll see what's up?

You say TV is LG 3000, but which one exactly? Some TVs can't accept a 720p signal so if you put the full model number, we should be able to check that out and see if this applies to yours. Or it should be somewhere in your manual.

hi,the serial number is 804maegbm604 and it also says software version v3.17.1.also on my bd player when i try to put it on 720 it says this ,this setting is not possible, because the connected equipment does not correspond to this format,cheers.

Sorry, the serial number isn't any good I'm afraid - it's the model number I'm after e.g. LG 42PG3000 or something similar.

HELP ITS DOING ME HEAD IN ,WERES THE HAMMER...................

 

[professorhat]

Sorry, don't get much time to spend on these forums like I used to. Well, have got the TV manual and on page 21 it definitely states that via HDMI, it can accept 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p so there's no reason why this shouldn't be working.

I can only suggest trying your dealer or speaking direct to the manufacturer for assistance.

Erm, if the LG can accept 1080p, why are you trying to feed 1080i/720p output from your Sharp Blu-ray player?

Surely just set that to Auto/1080p and let the LG do the rest.....
