WARNING!!! HD CONTENT CORRUPTED

Error: HD CONTENT CORRUPTED, USE COMPONENT CABLES is displayed when connected with a Motorola® cable box using HDMI.

Sony has investigated this issue and believe that some Motorola cable boxes were produced with an early version of HDMI software that may cause this symptom. Later versions of the cable box HDMI software have been tested and appear to work properly when connected to Sony TV and Audio/Video Receiver products. Since it is believed to be an issue with the cable box, no service fix is available from Sony; the cable company should be contacted to report this problem.

This issue is known to occur in the following Motorola cable box models:

DCT3412I
DCT6412
DCT6412III
DCT6416III

Although the issue has been known to occur with the above cable box models, it is possible that other models may be affected.

NOTE: As a workaround, you can connect the cable box to the TV using a component (Y/Pb/Pr) cable if both the TV and cable box have these connections.

Bright iDEA FROM Sony, right! Good luck ^_^

How to connect a camcorder to a television using an RFU adapter?

Basically you will ask first about an RFU Adaptor and what is it for? So let me give you first a refresher about this topic. The RFU adapter connects the camcorder console to televisions that do not have individual audio and video connections. It features two plugs. The first plug has an end that goes directly into the camcorder and the plug goes into the televisions coaxial cable socket.
