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.

Sorry to be against the grain but I have the "older" BDP'95 FD. Mine goes into the Denon '4308ci.---then along to the 6020 plasma. I can do 24 fps. I actually paid the full retail of a grand; BB was the only place I could find one. I gave some thought to the '09 at big bucks---I also gave some thought to the Sony 5000,but I refuse to pay that much and not have frame advance---which has been on every dvd player since they came out.
This BD thing has been the biggest pain/format,I've ever encountered. Part of the problem is the discs themselves. It seems you can have the latest firmware and 2 weeks later a new disc won't play. I actually have 3 BD players and a HD-DVD player.---Which reminds me of the old Chinese saying: Man with a god watch always knows what time it is--Man with 2 watches is never quite sure. (Confucious)
Mumbles, go here and scroll down to the bdp-05 thread and ask your question there. Huge knowledge base on bd players at AVS:

Avguygeorge, I would suggest a Panasonic bdp player. I've owned the Panasonic bdp-30 and bdp-35 and have yet to encounter a bd disc they would not play. My first player was a Samsung about a year ago and with that player I had the experiences you describe. However, the panny's have been flawless.

great analogy Avguygeorge, seems I obsessed myself into the cutting edge of confusion.
Everything about bluray is still a bit glitchy, gone to market to soon, and Ive always been a denon guy, pioneer is different
Watched Natl treasure2 on bluray last night and today got DirectTVHD hooked up where Im watching the same movie right now onthe 60" pio151 and it is the same image quality, 1080i outstanding, but 30 minutes in I am already taking the HD for granted. Wait no Im not, wow this TV is something.
The bluray player should be even better if I can get past this glitch.
Thankyou Cruz123, I asked the question on AVSforum last night, they were very helpful;
sounds like an output priorty issue due to running both component and hdmi into the 151. Will unplug and try and reboot.
My BDP-05FD>BlueJean HDMI 1.3>Pioneer Elite SC-07 receiver>BlueJean HDMI 1.3>151FD. Has worked fine and has played every disc. My only nit is how long it takes a disc to que up.

Hope you get some help over at AVS.
