Hello all-
I have a Sony VPH-D50Q projector with the optional RGB Input B board (I believe it is an IFB-12 if memory serves?) The input B board has options in the menus (input configuration) for RGB, component, HDTV (Y Pb Pr), HDTV (GBR), video, and s-video. The stock input A board also has all of these options save video and s-video (which are on seperate inputs)...I used to have a Pioneer changer hooked to an iScan scaler into input B and nothing to input A. I just got a Kenwood DV-5900M with the Faroudja progressive scan chip built-in, but when I set the dip switch on the changer to progressive output, my projector will not lock up no matter if I connect it to Input A or B, and no matter which setting I choose for the input configuration. It does lock up when I select RGB, but of course the colors are off since the component color space is not compatible with RGB. Is there a way to get progressive component into the D50? I do not want to have to buy another input board if it is not necessary. I am suprised it will not lock up to the progressive component when I set the input to HDTV (Y Pb Pr) since I would guess a 480P HDTV broadcast would be identical to progressive DVD. It tries to lock up, and occationally flashes the Kenwood background, but it will not lock on (except in RGB with the wrong colors.) What are my options? I now have the DV-5900M set to output interlaced and an using the iScan so I can get a picture, but that seems like a waste of a great chip in the changer.
