You say your HDMI cable won’t stay plugged in???

The reason? Most HDMI cables have no locking mechanism. Which means everything, including gravity itself, can cause it to come disconnected.

If you don’t do something you may have the following problems:
—The cable will continue falling out
—The socket on your player or TV may become damaged
—The cable may stop working
—The cable may freeze up the device it’s attached to
—The cable may cause interference with the device it’s attached to

Possible solutions:
—Try putting your Blue Ray player closer to your TV
—Get a longer cable (= less strain…or maybe it’s more cable to tape down…)
—Get an HDMI adapter
—Get an HDMI cable that has a lock mechanism

Websites covering blu ray players indicate that the cable is the most likely point of failure. They also are the last thing people check when something is wrong.
