black screen half second

[Thready]

I have a Sony Bravia X900H TV and a Sony UBP X700 4k blu ray player. I was watching Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down, both 4K HDR.

 

Picture and audio cut out for a half second then come back. I wonder if it's a handshake issue between the player and TV. But I don't know how to diagnose or troubleshoot. I updated both the player and the TV, the TV uses Android and the player uses its own OS I think.

 

I get no notification, or pop up form the TV that says device not found which it usually says if it loses connection. I unplugged the HDMI real quick while a movie was playing to see if it would blackscreen, but it had a pop up message, which doesn't occur for the half second blackout. So I don't know if it's a handshake issue. 

 

I wonder if it's my player itself. But it was $200 and I can't replace it or use another player. It doesn't happen with my PS4, Roku, or Spectrum DVR

Unplugging a cable wont produce the same results as a bad cable as you are disconnecting every single pin instead of just one.

 

Try a better cable. Hdmi cables can easily do this with 4k 60 setups
