Mac Mini with Mountain Lion - display resolution automatically resets

I have a Mac Mini with OS X Mountain Lion connected to an HDTV through a receiver via HDMI. I have my resolution set to 1080p, but when I cycle power on the receiver, the resolution in Mountain Lion always resets to 1080i, which is blurry and shaky. Why does the resolution reset to 1080i, and how can I lock it in at 1080p so I do not need to change it every time I turn on my TV?

I have this exact same problem. I'm running a Mac Mini (Macmini4,1) connected via HDMI to my receiver, and from my reciever to my Sony Bravia 1080p TV via HDMI. Every time I switch back from some other device on my receiver, the Mini's resolution is reset ti 1080i. This is a new problem since 'upgrading' to Mountain Lion. How can I lock the mini's resolution?
