Toshiba 46HM84 46-Inch TheaterWide HD-Ready Rear-Projection DLP TV
HDMI Issues & Buzz
I, too, like another reviewer, bought the 62HM84 with Toshiba's SD-5970SU DVD player and am having trouble playing 2/3 of my DVD's in the HDMI mode. When you access a DVD menu the screen goes blank and you can't proceed until you change the player's image quality setting using the remote. At first I thought this was due to a problem with the DVD player, so I sent it back to Toshiba and received a replacement but it, too, exhibits the exact same behavior. So I'm starting to suspect that the problem lies with the TV.     Also, from the day I received the TV it has made a loud buzz, sounding as if a neighbor two doors down is using a chain saw. An authorized repair technician agreed that it was loud and was coming from the light wheel, but when he called Toshiba to seek authorization for a wheel replacement he was told (without the Toshiba rep knowing exactly how loud my unit is) that some units buzz and that's normal (i.e. live with it.) So much for home theatre.    So I seriously caution against buying on-line a large item like this that is difficult to return.     Follow-up added 10/27/05: The issue of the screen going blank when accessing DVD menus was corrected by Toshiba - they replaced an HDMI component in the rear of the TV - and now all DVD's play fine. The buzzing sound remains, but I'm learning to live with it.
