Heh yeah, if that's a dvi port, get a hdmi-to-dvi cord.

won't he still have HDCP issues if hes playing a blu ray?
also, will going from the HDMI disable the other sound output from the blu ray? If so, how will he get sound?

SO, if RCA will do the job enough for a real theater quality picture I will do it. I suppose the RCA cables differ in gauge and I should perhaps get the best. Right? Additionally, I just wanted to ****ing avoid the fishing the RCA cable up a wall and across the attic. Looks like I now have to do that. Thanks for all the advice. If more comes to your mind please post them. |

The sound will not be through the projector. It'll be through the connection between the DVD player and the surround receiver.

I know nothing of the HDCP issues, so I can't speak to that. I'd bet he can run sound through the RCA connections, though. That's typically the way it's set up in my experience.

Like this, just make sure to get the right male/female combo. http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2 Doing a quick search of HDCP, it seems like it's only an issue if one of the devices isn't HDCP compliant, which would likely be the projector which means it would be an outdated POS.

Or maybe call InFocus (the projector brand) and ask them? BTW, many thanks for the link. |

PS: Also best to buy your HDMI cable from monoprice or an online equivalent. If you've never heard, hdmi cable prices at places like Worst Buy are a rip off. Last edited by KChiefer; 02-11-2013 at 10:58 AM.. |
