However, an interruption in the signal could be caused by a faulty HDMI connection.

- Verify that the HDMI plugs are seated firmly in the ports on both sides.

- Verify that the cable is good, by comparing the use of a different cable.

- Verify that the HDMI port on the TV or receiver has good circuitry, by comparing the use of a different port.
