I'm having major problems with my setup which has changed since I removed my video processor. I believe the problems relate to HDMI/DVI handshake and copyright problems but need some advice.
Qualia 004 projector with 1080p on DVI
Toshiba A35 HD-DVD
Sony BDP-S550
Scientific Atlanta 8300HD cable box
Halcro SSP200 sound processor
When I run my sources to the SSP200 with a video bypass to the projector, I get a magenta cast on the display. I believe this is a fault of the SSP200 so I purchased an HDMI 1.3 compliant 4/2 switch to run all my sources to the switch and one HDMI output to the SSP200 for audio and the outher HDMI output to my Qualia 004 projector via HDMI/DVI.
When I do this, the SA 8300HD cable box displays1080i as expected and everything is great.
When I try the Toshiba A35, it synchs to the Qualia at 480/60p even though I have tried all the options on the player up to and including 1080/60p.
The Sony S550 actually synchs to the Qualia at 1080p or 1080i and allows me to see the movie menu page but as soon as I press PLAY, the picture turns to snow regardless of the video resolution selection.
If I bypass the HDMI 1.3 4/2 switch and hook up the sources to the Qualia DVI directly, I get the correct video resolution from all the players but now I have no way to hear the HD audio because I don't have another HDMI cable.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it? I'm trying to avoid using component audio because I want the full HD sound only available through HDMI on my system.
Thanks for your help.
