Sony and Samsung are absolutely no help, and I really hope I can get the player and TV to work together, without having to buy a new HDMI player, etc. So, it would seem to be a compatibility issue between the specific player, cable, and TV.
I took the DVD and cable to a store, to try various combinations-ġ) the player and cable could not drive another DVI TVĢ) the player with a HMDI-HDMI cable could drive a newer TVģ) a Samsung DVI HD841 player with my cable reversed, DVI to HDMI, could drive the same newer set. When connected, the DVD HMDI light does not come on, but the TV does receive some signal- the digital input setting goes from the default green to black, when the DVD is turned on. Has anyone else worked with these components together, and had similar problems? I connected them with a 1 m Monster HDMI to DVI cable, several times, and have not been able to get an image on the TV. I own a Samsung TXN3098WHF TV, and just purchased a Sony DVP-NS975V DVD player, after reading a great review of it. Posted on Sunday, Janu23:15 GMTHi, I am new to this forum. Which is better for sound digital or optical? What do I need in the Home Theater Amp (I don't need AM/FM)? Since cables seem to be quite expensive (in the hundreds) especially if they go across the room 20 - 25 ft, I don't want to make a mistake and buy the wrong ones.įrom reading the above discussion, I think I should buy a DVI to HDMI cable to go from the Illico to the projector, component cable to go from the DVD to the projector, and digital and/or optical cable(s) to go to the unpurchased amplifier from the Illico and the DVD. I need to buy cables and then a home theater. Right now I have it patched together with whatever cables I had with an old (8 track/LP) stereo amplifier. I have: a Panasonic PT-AE700u projector with HDMI/component/Svideo inputs an Illico HDTV source with DVI/component/Svideo/composite/Digital Audio outputs also a DVD with component/Svideo/Digital & optical audio output and a VCR. Posted on Tuesday, Decem03:18 GMTInteresting discussion(s), I'm getting educated. Use optical ports 1st, coax digital secong, analog last. as you'll be relying on the TV's upconverter anyways. If you don't have a HQ upconverting DVD player, then you might descide to use the DVI/HDMI connection for the Cable/Sat and use component for the DVD player. Since the HD signal will be already "HD scaled" out of the cable/sat box, then HQ component cables will do a very fine job transmitting the images to the TV. Therefore, I'll use my only HDMI TV input for DVD viewing. The Faroudja upconvertion is only available out the DVI port tough. I have the Denon 1910 and have found the Faroudja upconverter better in it than in my JVC 52" DILA set. Q#1) Does your DVD player have a HQ upconversion like the Denon's or is the upconverter in your TV better? I've thought quite a bit about how best to hook this all up to get the best picture, and here's what I've come up with. You have a AV Receiver with optical audio in (probably more than one). You also have a DVD player (DVI/HDMI/component out). You have a HDTV with DVI/HDMI in (only one) Thank you.Posted on Tuesday, Decem16:29 GMTLet me offer this scenario. I know I keep reiterating certain things but I just really want to try to get my point across. Even when PIP and PBP is off I still see the washed out and incorrect black levels. Something is wrong with the left side input (main). It works when on picture by picture and on the right.
How can I achieve the proper black levels and not washed out colors while using DVI when on the main input? I know it is not the cable. WHATS THE DEAL WITH THIS MONITOR? When in picture by picture and the DVI is on the right (inside the blue border) I get reall nice colors and black levels. NOW the black levels are correct when it is on the right. Normally the DVI will be on teh right and the S-Video on the left but after you swap the DVI is on the right. I then did picture by picture and then swapped. I had S-Video connected from the H20 as well to the monitor. Like I said, HDMI to HDMI cable provides proper black levels and colors look much better. I know there will be black bars if I run in 16:9 or 1:1 but I'm talking about the contents black levels.
#HDMI STB VS.DVI MOVIE#
In 16.9 mode and watching a movie with the black bars on top and bottem on for example HBOHD the black bars are not really black but gray. But over DVI everything is permenantly "washed out". Even Component gives normal black levels. If I use an HDMI to HDMI cable then I can get normal black levels. I have to turn the contrast level down to below 10 get to anywhere near "black" but the rest of the picture is terrible. When calibration in the menu I can never get teh correct black level on the DVI input. I am using a DVI to HDMI cable because the H20 does not have a DVI output. I currently have my DVI (Digital) connection to my H20 Directv STB.
