My last post on this issue to close it out in case anyone has something similar in future…
The Sony BluRay arrived this morning. Plugged it in, and BOOM! Works perfectly. I reset HDMI2, went through the PUC choices, and found a generic Sony PUC for all Sony BDP-SXXX players.
BeoRemote One now operates the player.
So it seems the LG isn’t man enough to drive the BV11.
Thank you, for all of the help and suggestions on this post. Much appreciated.
The Sony players seem to use the same ir set – meaning that you can use the PUC that is listed as ‘Sony Generic’.
Please tell us what you expect from the player.
Do you want Smarttv apps, how is your speaker setup (just the tv) etc?MM
================================
This is GREAT news! I just ordered a NOS Sony DVD player from Amazon as I had a voucher. So the PUC compatibility will be handy. Good to know, and thank you.I use the apps from the Roku, works really well. The player will be solely used as a disc source, nothing else. I only have the TV’s inbuilt audio. This may change if I get the chance later to use a wireless setup, price of those is holding me back.
Audio listening is done via a multitude of kit I have built up over the years, but not in thr same room as the TV.
Quad 33, 34 pre amps
Quad 303 405 power amps
Fatman Blu valve integrated amp
Musical Fidelity X-LPS phono amp
Thorens TD125 Mk2, SME 3009 S2, Sure V15 III

REL Q100E SubwooferTime for a new DVD player it seems!
Maybe find one that already has a PUC code in the list!
Anywhere that list is documented?
Does the PUC do anything but allow IR control from the B&O One remote?Thank you for the support on this so far, much appreciated.
I just tried another HDMI source, my Dell laptop. Worked perfectly in the HDMI socket that the DVD won’t play through…
So, it seems the sockets are fine, the cable is fine. Time for a new DVD player it seems!
Sorry to bring ba news thismight well be the start of failing video board
==================================================
I hope not!
It is odd that the Roku works perfectly in all 5 of the HDMI ports, but this DVD player won’t work in any of them though. If it was a failing board, would it not fail consistently across all of the HDMI ports on the TV?Or do you mean the DVD output board is failing?
Have you tried playing about with the BluRay output resolution as described in its manual here. Maybe try the procedure <snip>
Yes, I tried all output options there, and it is worse when not using RGB for the HDMI output.
What’s the LG BluRay player model number?
======================================================
Hello Guy, It is an LG BP420.
I just applied the most recent F/W updates.
https://www.lg.com/uk/support/software-firmware?csSalesCode=BP420.BGBRLLKNo change to the behaviour.
It looks like the sort of picture you get when there is a mis-match between resolutions – I used to see similar trying to connect PS3 to various TVs. The PS3 had the ability to automatically cycle through various resolutions until the picture was clear. Is there a menu in the LG BluRay player where you can adjust the output resolution?
=================================================
Agreed, and I have tried the (very) limited options for the HDMI output. I just downloaded the user manual and discovered the little nugget…:
“Additional Information for HDMI
When you connect a HDMI or DVI compatible
device make sure of the following:
— Try switching off the HDMI/DVI device and
this player. Next, switch on the HDMI/DVI
device and leave it for around 30 seconds,
then switch on this player.
— The connected device’s video input is set
correctly for this unit.
— The connected device is compatible with
720x576p, 1280x720p, 1920x1080i or
1920x1080p video input.
Not all HDCP-compatible HDMI or DVI devices will work with this player.
— The picture will not be displayed properly
with non-HDCP device.=============================================
Any chance this TV is not HDCP compatible?
