My daughter gave me her old Roku player. I decided it was time to use the DVI ports on my 970. Here is what I have done.

Oppo DVD HDMI out to DVI input 1 w/opt cable for audio.

Roku HDMI out to DVI input 2 w/opt cable for audio.

970 DVI out to Accell Ultra video 4-2 A/V switch HDMI source input 1

Accell Ultra video 4-2 A/V switch monitor A to TV and monitor B to the projector

The problem is… The Roku works perfectly on both monitors (using video 2 on the 970). When I select DVD on the 970 I have audio but no video. I have also tried selecting video 1 thinking the DVI input may not work through the DVD selection (not likely the problem)

Before the changes I was running composite video from the oppo to the 970 and HDMI from the oppo direct to the projector. Worked fine…

Any thoughts??

Thanks

I figured it out.

The 970 can't deal with 1080p. When I swap from 1080p to 1080i on my Oppo It works fine. Maybe a firmware update would deal with this shortcoming.

Need to find someone with a PC next.

Okay... My tv probably only 1080i compatible. New Samsung on the way.

What TV do you have? That could let us confirm if the problem is lack of 1080p support at the display.

It's a 5 year old Sony WEGA CRT. I would have to pull it out to get the actual model number. The thing weighs a couple hundred pounds.

If it is a CRT (especially one that is five years old), there's no need to bother moving it: it won't support 1080p.

Thanks gonk.

Have a good holiday.

You too!
