Ok, I figured out the correct configuration and still no audio or video. The 990 is showing "Digital" flashing in the front panel. Can this mean there's something wrong with the 990. Is there another way to make this connection to get a/v out of the cable box? I gotta get this working before Giants vs Cowboys game on xmas. :-)
If you've got the "Digital" indicator flashing, then you've either not got any digital audio output from your DirecTV box - the 990 is looking to the specified digital input (identified at the right end of the display, next to the input name) and finding no signal to lock on to. If there's also no video even though you have the input's video source set to DVI2, then either the DirecTV box is not outputting anything to the HDMI, there's a problem with the cable, or the projector is not on the correct (HDMI) input. What is the specific model number of the DirecTV box? I'd like to track down a manual for it online and see if there are any possible issues happening there...
