I am having a problem with my recently-bought DVR, a Magnavox MDR867H. It and my TV (Samsung UN55D8000YFXZA) are connected to my receiver (Denon AVR-4810CI) with HDMI cables. Most of the time there is no problem, but occasionally I get no picture on the TV from the DVR. The DVR's display will say 'hdcPno,' though once it said 'Eht.' I can't understand why it would have an HDCP problem only occasionally. I have read about HDCP issues and I knoe that they can be complex. Have other people had this problem? Does anyone know of a simple solution? I would like to avoid adding more hardware, such as an HDMI splitter, but it sounds like that may be a possible solution.

The internal firmware of a Blu-Ray player refers to the digital data structures that facilitate its internal operations. Firmware allows for the reading of different types of data on disks by the player, the customization of display options, the internal clock and many other processes that frequently go unnoticed. Updating the firmware on a Magnavox Blu-Ray player is disk-driven; you must download data and burn it onto a digital storage device, then allow the Blu-Ray player to read it.
Step 1
Download the latest version of the firmware for your model of Blu-Ray player from the Magnavox website. The firmware will arrive as a zipped archive containing a single file, which is a digital image of a readable DVD. Unzip the file to your desktop.
Step 2
Insert a blank DVD disk into your removable storage drive. Cancel the pop-up window that will automatically appear prompting you to burn a data or video disk.
Step 3
Right-click on the unzipped file residing on your Desktop, and select 'Send To' and 'DVD/CD-RW' drive, or whatever name you have given to your removable storage drive.
Step 4
Follow the prompts of the CD/DVD Burning Wizard that will appear in order to burn the image to your disk.
Step 5
Power on your Blu-Ray player, open the tray and insert the newly burned disk. The Blu-Ray player will prompt you on your television screen to update the firmware.
Step 6
Use the remote control to select 'Yes' when prompted to update the firmware.
Step 7
Select 'OK' when the firmware update is complete, and power off your Blu-Ray player.
Power your Blu-Ray player back on to complete the update. You may need to change back any settings you had previously customized from their default values.
