Curt:
The only device that I have connected to the PJ is my DVD player, which is a new progressive scan sony which is going through and Audio Athority component to RGB converter, which I replaced with a new one when I first noticed the problem. At the time I first saw the loss of video I was getting a green warning message on the screen indicating that the pj had lost input signal, and then after a short period I get video back. That's what made me suspect the converter, so I replaced it. The problem still showed up after replacement, but now I don't seem to be getting the green warning anymore, or maybe since I found out by pressing the standby off and back on that I could get the video back that I may not be allowing enough time for the warning to be displayed. At any rate, the green warning would indicate that there still was HV present. I will check more closely to see if I have HV now or not. I think that I still have it though, you know there is something I haven't checked, and that is to see if the pj has switched to some other input, which might be giving me that warning about loss of input signal. Have you ever seen any barco's switch inputs for no appearent reason, or should I discount that as being a possible cause of the black-out's I'm seeing.
Thanks again for your help.
Pete
