Hitachi HD projection

Hi, this is a Hitachi 53FDX01B HD projection TV. When I connect it for HD it takes it about 5 minutes to come on. When it is connected for analog it comes on right away.
Thanks,Rickey

5 minutes of 5 seconds? It is normal to take a long time for the electronics to sense and change mode when going from SD to HD. But 5 minutes sounds long. I have a Sony Bravia 32" and it does take a few seconds when switching back and forth. Since your TV is projection, I suspect it has a little age and maybe that was the way it was. You may want to also join ARF (if you are not a member yet) and post in their Television section as well...

Thanks, it takes about five minutes. When I said switching over, I meant I had changed the cables to HD on the back, then I changed the cables back to analog. I left it both ways for several days. When on HD feed it takes five minutes to come on every morning.
It always comes on right away on analog. It was always fine for years on analog, but when I first put it on HD this started??
Thanks,Rickey

I hope you don't mind that I moved this. The B/W forum is for vintage projection sets, this type fits here better.

You're welcome, Ricky. Good luck with your set, I've been trying to think of what it could be. That definitely sounds wrong for it to take that long. Do you have a different HD source to try like a Blu-ray or PS-3 ect? My friends tv crapped out the other day and we both thought it was dead, turns out the HDMI was just being fussy. Not saying this is your problem but it took forever for the picture to come up and then it just wouldn't at all. At that point, analog didn't work nor did the OSD. I unplugged the HDMI, cleaned it and the socket and now it's ok.
