Blue screen then White snow when using Mitsu 3dc-1000

Using the mitsu 3dc-1000 with a 65'' mitsu 3d tv and getting a blue screen and white snow with popping noises when switching regular 2d channels.  Takes about 5-10 secs to finally get the picture on. Could this be because im using 2 different hdmi cables? 1.4 and the direct tv supplied 1.3??
