Pioneer BDP-05FD hdmi handshake issues


Just purchased Pioneer bdp-05 bluray and 151fd plasma and cannot get hdmi to display video and analogue outs get remixed to stereo.
Firmware updated is 1.25 and 1080i is best Im getting from component video. Played several bluray and std discs, none at 1080p.
Purchased a rockfish 1.3 10.2gbs hdmi cable with the unit. Read in an earlier post that could be the hdmi cable. Could it be the 1.25 firmware update needs to be 1.3 for the 151 to recognize?
Loving the plasma, not real impressed with the bdp-05
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the exact same set up and am really unimpressed with the build quality of the bdp-05. Mine is currently being fixed for the second time in less than a year. I would not recommend this player especially at its retail price. Also, weren't we supposed to have a firmware update allowing for internal decoding of dts-hd about a month ago? Sorry for the rant, but I understand your reaction to the bdp-05 and hope your experience doesn't turn out to be as bad as mine has been. Good luck with your current issue.
