Spin, thanks for continuing to help me.
I have a sony progressive scan dvd player hooked up via component which works fine. I'll have to take a look to see whether it has HDMI; I don't know.
I do believe I tried the ratio a number of times to no avail.
As far as HDMI to DVI, is that an adapter I need to place on the end of the HDMI cable?
Also, just to digress a moment. Perhaps I'm putting the cart before the horse. Way back when, different components were hooked up via audio and video cables. When S-video came out, I saw it as a big improvement and immediately jumped on it. When component hookup became available, I immediately began to use that.
While I realize longer cable runs are possible with HDMI, the added benefit of audio being carried as well, am I beating the proverbial dead horse for little return here?
This is after all only a 37 inch lcd screen in my bedroom, not my main home theater setup. Am I going to see a "big" difference in picture quality?
Thanks again,
mark
