I cannot get my system to play 3D. Please help! This is super frustrating.

But my 2D viewing is absolutely phenomenal.

What hardware are you using and how do you have it connected?

oppo 93
panasonic PT-AE7000
990/7700

Gonk, the only connections I changed; with the system you helped me virtually build, was adding the 93 and the 7000. 2D viewing is a wonderful thing but everything seems to lose synchronization when 3D is attempted.

Are you using a High Speed HDMI cable to hook the Oppo to the AE7000? Standard Speed HDMI probably won't support 3D data rates.

I think I'm using the old standard 1.2.

How is it all connected? Does the HDMI connection from the BDP-93 go directly to the projector? If so, the issue may be related to cable length and the additional data that is involved in a 3D video signal.

Yes the connection is directly to the projector from the 93 but do you think the issue could be that I'm using the standard HDMI 1.2 and not the High Speed HDMI 1.4 that supports 1080p, 3D and Deep Color?

The ratings on cables are a bit dubious. That being said, 3D over HDMI does require more bandwidth, and that may be enough (particularly over the long length required for a front projector) for your existing cable to become a problem.

I consider Blue Jeans cable to be a reliable source of information and high quality cables. According to them the HDMI Version 1.0 cable is fully compliant with HDMI 1.4 but may not be high speed cable. There is some difference in the cable as far as speed but over short runs it may work as long as it is not defective and you don't require Ethernet. To Gonks point, a long run over HDMI does present problems. Can you test the projector with a short HDMI cable to verify it is the long run giving you problems? When I construct my HT room I plan on eliminating the long run issues because I see 4K coming down the road.

Unfortunately testing a short run would be nearly impossible because of how my HT is configured. My HMDI run from the (ceiling mounted) projector back to my equipment rack is nearly 25ft. After doing some research it appears I will need to rerun a high speed HDMI (1.4) to get full HD and 3D. Thoughts
