Invalid format error with P1600 blu-ray and LG LCD TV 42"

I get an invalid format error when I attach my samsung P1600 blu ray player to an LG LCD 42" TV and I'm also using a monster cable HDMI 960. Please help. Do I have to do firmware upgrades on my TV is that possible? Or do I have to upgrade the firmware on the blu-ray player? Or do I replace the blu-ray player? Thanks.

It may be a firmware issue if hdmi works with other items such as playstation.
If no hdmi the main Pcb hdmi ports are bad and the main Pcb would have to be replaced.

Consumers cannot upgrade the firmware so a shop would be the only option.

When we plug the blu ray player into hdmi port and audio ports, we are only getting sound. The tv gives us a "no signal" and "invalid format" yellow box error.

Hello
Unfortunately your TV is only HD ready. This means that it plays video in 720p. A full bluray disc is 1080p. Im afraid your tv will most likely not be able to handle a bluray player.
:( sorry
Hope this helps

Receive an invalid format message from my Olevia 32 tv

You get invalid format, or format not support becuase the video resolution setting on your PC is too high for the monitor to display, you need to lower your PC video resolution to the native resolution of the TV to get the best picture. Look at the owner manual for your TV or search the web.

Invalid format

Try rechecking all wire connections for proper placement and fit too and from the tv.
Try adjusting the video format on the DVD, flip through 480p and 1080i. See which format works best with your tv. Do the same with Wii.

See if this helps.
