Anonymous: #flip_minohd My Flip MiniHD when plugged into HDMI port on JVC LT-42P510 TV plays w/ choppy sound. JVC and Flip are tossing me back and forth on compatability and workarounds. Any suggestions from the Community? Nov 1, 10

    Omar: Seems like a pretty weird issue. First thing's first would be to figure out what exactly is the cause of the problem: TV, the Flip, or the combination of the two.

    I imagine you have other devices connected to your TV through HDMI and that they work fine. If not, then definitely try that - something like a PS3/Xbox or blu-ray player. If you've got HDMI issues on the TV then you know to contact JVC and can get them to help you out. You can also try connecting the Flip to each of the 3 HDMI ports and see if that helps.

    Next is to test the Flip. If you have another TV in your house with HDMI, or have a friend that has a TV with HDMI try the flip with that other TV and see if you have the same sound issue. If so, then it's most likely the Flip in which case you know who to go to for help.

    If both the TV works fine with other devices, and the Flip works fine with other TVs then there's something going on that makes it so that the two thing don't work well together for some reason. My guess would be something around the HDMI port since I know that HDMI can be finicky. If that's the case then your best bet would be to transfer the videos from the Flip onto your computer, and then connect the computer to the TV. It's a much bigger pain in the butt, so hopefully this isn't the case.

    Good luck and let us know what the results are. Nov 1, 10
