Sony DVP-NS975V HDMI DVD Player Issues With Toshiba MT8U

This was also posted in the DVD section. Sorry about the crosspost, I'm just covering my bases.


Hello all. I was wondering if anybody else had purchased the new Sony HDMI Upconvert DVP-NS975V DVD player and also owned either an Infocus 7200 or Toshiba MT8U DLP running IF firmware ver 3.7.


I just received my player from Crutchfield today and am unable to get any video from my 7.5m Lindy HDMI cable. I know the cable's good as it works fine with my CATV Pace HD box. I can also get component video from the DVD player no prob. I have checked and rechecked the DVD player's settings but can find no reason for it not working.


According to the DVD's manual, it's HDMI 1.1 compliant and won't send a signal to DVI enabled devices that aren't 'HDCP complaint'.


So basically I'm left with either a malfunctioning DVD player or my DLP is not HDCP complaint (which I read here and there was an issue with early 7200s, however it was my understanding that had been resolved sometime ago). I wish I could remember my DLP's build date, however I cannot (but it's like 6mo or less old if I remember correctly).


Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
