Hello,

I have a strange behaviour when I watch a Netflix movie through my OPPO 103 on my BG 1209s. The picture looks fine until some red flashes appear every 30 sec. Then the flashes come more often and finally I have a green dotted picture and some black screens (loosing sync ?).
My setup is a OPPO103-Radiance 2041-Cambridge Amp-Barco 1209s.
There is no problem watching Blurays or mkv HD movies from my OPPO. Why this is different with a Netflix movie?
Thanks for your help

Maybe it's a refresh issue ?

I would try 50Hz first. The 20xx series are not as good at 72Hz, 75Hz, and other higher clock settings. The XS, EX, and 21xx are much better suited to that I am afraid.

Is Netflix played directly from the Oppo app or from an external device into the Oppo ?

I set it to 1080p60 (Netflix through OPPO is at 60Hz) and the issue is still there...
Could be related to HDCP ?

HDCP is usually snow or no image.

It's really very odd. Would you post a photo?

It has been worse and worse...
Now it is not only Netflix but mkv files and Blurays. The issue also appears sooner. After 1 hour.
It started with red flashes, then black flashes, green dotted pictures and then more black flashes (but longer). I even saw (a few times) the picture (size reduced by 10) and displayed in the left corner of the screen for a split second.
I tried to turn off the Barco, the Lumagen, the Cambridge Amp, it is ok during 2-3 minutes and then it started again. I change the bluray player, same issue. I tried to unplug the Lumagen for 2 minutes. No effect.
I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Is the issue with Netflix (first time I tried it on my HT system) at the start a coincidence or the cause of the issue?
I will try to record a short video to show you the issue.

If you post a photo we can at least determine if this is taking place in the digital versus the analog domain. A photo, or multiple photos are required. A short video may also be helpful.

Cable issue ?

Can you swap your main HDMI cable end to end?

I did few other tests and it seems that 50Hz videos (MKV or Netflix) show the issue. The Barco has been set to 1080p50hz.
If I find a 60Hz video, I will also try.
No issue for BR and MKV at 24Hz.
"Cable issue ?"
Well It should also be a problem at 72Hz I think.

"Can you swap your main HDMI cable end to end?"
Possible, but as it is very long and inside the wall, I will also need a spare that I do not have unfortunately

Here is a video showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5JW-Swa5Qc&feature=youtu.be
