musogeek i found this not my work but worked for me to get the openbox hdmi port working again

I just tried this "blind" procedure.

1) Turn off switch on the back for a few seconds, then power up. Wait a

minute or two for your picture to slowly return.
At this point you probably have a rolling picture with a nag box

message "NO OSD DISPLAY"

2) Press menu once, tv show (if you even had one) disappears. Just

rolling nag box now.

3) Press arrow down two times. This is where you are blind from here on

(you are on the third line of the system setup page).

4) Right arrow once (this is language selection) then down once (this

is tv system) press "OK" to select

5) You are now sitting where we want to be on the "Video Resolution"

Press arrow right, wait 30 sec and right arrow again wait again. There

are seven selections in here, keep pushing then wait each time until

you see where you are in the menu. Then select the mode you need.

I use 1080i_60, auto, yuv, lpcm out for these settings with my hdmi tv

output.
For the composite to work with older tv's select 480i.

EDIT: never push the V format key again. This takes you to European

settings only. Use the menu's for any video mode changes you want to

try.
