HDMI Problem?

Hey Everyone,

Today I went out and finally bought an xbox elite. The only thing I am wondering is that. I am using HDMI on my new HDTV and when I first turn on the 360, my tv screen still shows no single, then flashes invalid format really fast, then finally shows up just intime when the 360 logo is fully shown and about to go into the dashboard... Is this normal for HDMI, I am new to all this stuff. Also, when I put a movie in, the screen on my tv went totally black... I could hear the movie but not see anything, I could hear the beep when I clicked the dashboard button, but nothing showed on the screen. So, I removed the movie.... still a black screen. Then put the movie back in, and the movie started playing normally and everything was back to normal. So, is there something wrong with this. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks for any answers

what kind of hdmi cable do you have??

Hey,

Thanks for all the replies. But how can I tell what resolution would be correct for my tv. I currently have it set at 1080i, because I thought it was the best one. Is this to high for my tv or something. Should I just use what it defaulted at. Thanks, and if this helps. My tv is a LG 26" LC7D. Should it be written in the tv manual or something? Hope someone can sort this out, thanks. And to answer the above poster, and I am using the cable that came with the xbox.

Thanks for any replies.
