A method for an audiovisual receiver to request an audiovisual transmitter to reset a communication link includes requesting the reset when the audiovisual receiver determines that the communication link is unlocked. The communication is determined to be unlocked when the active geometry of successive audiovisual frames transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver is determined by the receiver to be inconsistent. The communication is also determined to be unlocked when the interval between control bits of the successive audiovisual frames is inconsistent. When one or both of the inconsistencies is determined, the receiver sets an error bit in a register of the receiver that is accessible by the transmitter to determine from the receiver that the communication link is unlocked.
