Pioneer BDP-05FD hdmi handshake issues

Just purchased Pioneer bdp-05 bluray and 151fd plasma and cannot get hdmi to display video and analogue outs get remixed to stereo.
Firmware updated is 1.25 and 1080i is best Im getting from component video. Played several bluray and std discs, none at 1080p.
Purchased a rockfish 1.3 10.2gbs hdmi cable with the unit. Read in an earlier post that could be the hdmi cable. Could it be the 1.25 firmware update needs to be 1.3 for the 151 to recognize?
Loving the plasma, not real impressed with the bdp-05
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Bob

Mumbles, go here and scroll down to the bdp-05 thread and ask your question there. Huge knowledge base on bd players at AVS:

Avguygeorge, I would suggest a Panasonic bdp player. I've owned the Panasonic bdp-30 and bdp-35 and have yet to encounter a bd disc they would not play. My first player was a Samsung about a year ago and with that player I had the experiences you describe. However, the panny's have been flawless.

Don't you guys lose something routing hdmi thru receiver first?

I run my Panny 35 via HDMI into an Onkyo 805 and then HDMI from the 805 to my display. Its a direct pass through and doesn't alter the signal at all. I've tried it both ways to be sure (i.e. from the panny straight to the display) and there's no difference in quality that I can discern.
