Originally posted by Clarence Hmmm... if you get all 3 tubes on the # crosshatch, but only green from a DVD player... it sounds like you're trying to use the component outputs from the DVD player. To get RGBHV out of the Momitsu, you need a DVI->HD15->5BNC adapter and cable. You can't use the 3 RCA plugs which are colored Red, Green, and Blue... that's component output, not RGB. Or maybe a bad VIM. Pull the input card and check the 3 mini-RCA connectors. |

Originally posted by MMcDermott had it hooked up via component to his OTA HDTV with a cord ending in 3 RCA's to BNC adapters & wasn't using RGBHV, this is when it was only lighting the green tube... |
BTW, how much life do you folks think that green tube has left (pic is in my gallery)? |
Clarence, do you recommend the ACON unit? This one doesn't have it, but I may be interested in picking one up down the line. |
Originally posted by MMcDermott Update on the marquee, I got all 3 tubes to light up! I fired it up before I had to go to work, I hit the "#" on the remote & got the crosshatch on all 3 tubes, thank God. I didn't have time to try to hook up a video source to it though, so while it may not be 100%, this is at least a good sign. I'll try hooking up the momitsu tonight, what would it mean if only the green lights up then?? Thanks for all replies - Mike in GB |
