Hi all and happy newyear need help i am stuck can not get a working dvd signal thru to my g70 when going thru my receiver using component input picture flickers very badly and when hooked up directly to pj thru component i only get green tube function i also cant get good signal from xbox360 same problem very bad flicker i can watch my dishhd thru components with great results but to watch dvd i have too use the svideo input with direct feed to projector any help greatly appreciated

I'm not sure about the Pioneer receivers, but most receivers with component video switching have an option that lets you select "interlaced" or "progressive."

That should solve the flickering problem.

Did you set the input on the G70 to RGB or component?

You go from your Pioneer receiver directly to your projector? Does the Pioneer receiver have the capability to scale its component outputs? I very much doubt it does or that a receiver with such a capability exists at all. A Sony G70 is capable of displaying a much greater resolution than the S-Video output allows (which is only standard definition). I suggest that you look into acquiring a seperate scaler. The "Video Processor" section here will be of great help to you.

One possible cheap solution might be this soon-to-be-released product from Gefen: Gefen Home Theater Scaler (http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=4174). We don't know how good this scaler is yet but even if it's only decent, it's got to be much better than your current solution, and the price certainly is right. I believe it was originally supposed to be released in December but has been pushed back, possibly to the end of January. Or later - who knows? Something to consider, though.

Your setting on the Pj are wrong
To get component check your settings
1 5bnc off
2 input A
3. HDTV-YPbPr
4. sync Ext(hv)
5 projector needs to start BEFORE the DVD player

when going thru my receiver using component input picture flickers very badly and when hooked up directly to pj thru component i only get green tube
I would assume your pioneer receiver is only a pass thru like most other receivers
so fix the first problem and I think it will be ok !

thanks for input new i could count on this forum got it working :)

$450 for a component/HDMI switcher/scaler that does 1080p AND audio switching? This could be a nice addition to my shiny new moome ISS card... Any idea on ship date?

--Edit--
Looks like there's a DVI-I version with one DVI-I input (in addition to the component inputs) and one DVI-I output for $350... http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=4173

Any idea on ship date?

I know nothing definite - I wished I did. All I can relate is a rumor that it may be the end of January. But it must be getting close. I don't recall Gefen listing all those specifications before.

I wonder why the Home Theater Mate exists? After getting the probably necessary HDMI to DVI adaptor, you may have well sprung for the $450 HDMI version and one more input. I wonder which HDMI specification?

My emphasis on DVI-I in and out means RGBHV in and out...

DVI-I input and output accepts both analog and digital video
