Query: Blinking every 5 to 10 minutes

I'm having the same exact problem as another reviewer here. I lose picture and sound for a split second. It's almost like a blink of an eye every 5 to 10 minutes troughout a movie. I thought I could live with it, but I can't. Now I am distracted while watching a movie because I'm waiting for the darn thing to blink again. I'm using the supplied HDMI cable routed through my receiver then out to HD monitor via another HDMI. I'm thinking of trying component cables. Anybody else have this problem??? I suppose the picture quality is good, but not much better than my old DVD player. I'm in the process of returning this unit.
