Why is my VIP1200 sending an analog signal to my Bravia tv? The tv is 3 months old and is connected to the receiver with an HDMI cable?

The Motorola VIP1200 set-top box should send a digital signal when connected via HDMI. If your Bravia TV is receiving an analog signal, check the following:

1. HDMI Connection: Ensure you are using a proper HDMI cable and that it is securely connected to both the VIP1200 and the TV.
2. HDMI-to-DVI Converter: If you are using an HDMI-to-DVI converter, note that DVI does not carry audio, and an additional audio connection is required.
3. TV Input Settings: Verify that the TV is set to the correct HDMI input.
4. Set-Top Box Settings: Check the VIP1200’s video output settings to confirm that it is set to output a digital signal.
5. Cable and Port Issues: Try a different HDMI cable or port on the TV to rule out hardware issues.

If the issue persists, consider resetting the set-top box and TV or checking for any compatibility issues between the two devices.
