I can't get the DVI out on my new 990 to send a video signal to my projector.

I have a Panasonic BD-30 connected to DVI 1 via a 6' Blue Jeans HDMI to DVI cable. I also have a Dish Network HD/DVR (VIP722) connected to DVI 2 also with a 6' Blue Jeans cable. The DVI out is connected to my Panasonic PT-AX200U projector via a 25' HDMI cable and a Blue Jeans HDMI/DVI adapter.

At first I suspected the HDMI/DVI adapter, so I switched it out with a monster adapter purchased from a local circuit city. Still no luck. I have assigned the proper video and audio inputs via the 990's OSD (the audio works great BTW). I have been able to get a few seconds of very degraded video when I jiggle the HDMI/DVI adapter, but not every time I jiggle it. Oh, and the HDMI cable doesn't appear to be the culprit as video works great when I bypass the 990 and connect the source directly to the projector with the 25' HDMI cable.

I contacted the Outlaws and they suggested I try shorter HDMI to DVI cables, like 1 or 2 feet. My cables are good quality and only 6 feet, but hey I'll give it a shot. Problem is, none of the local retailers in my area carry an HDMI to DVI cable less than 6 feet. I can order them from Blue Jeans, but that will take several days to get them.

Can anyone help? please? Thanks

Perhaps a step you've already taken, but are you able to use a combination of your 25' cable and any necessary adapters and go directly from each source to the projector with success? If so, temporarily move each source and/or the projector so that you can individually test each 6' cable and adapter too. Make sure each and every item works separately from the 990.

Just to make sure I understand you correctly, I should use a DVI to HDMI adapter to connect the 6' cables from the source directly to the projector to determine the 6' cables are not the problem. Is that right?

I had a very similar problem when I got my 990 last month and it turned out to be the Blue Jeans cable. My TV has both DVI and HDMI inputs. I figured the HDMI would be best but the TV would not recognize the DVI out from the 990. I ordered a new DVI to DVI cable and it works flawlessly. I sent the bad cable back to Blue Jeans and they refunded the $$$.

Thanks for the information XenonMan. Did you replace the cable with a new Blue Jeans cable or did you go with a different company?

New Blue Jeans cable without the HDMI connector. I have all my other cables from BJ cable and they all work flawlessly. Their customer service was a big help in figuring out the problem and they refunded my $$$ as soon as they got the cable back.
