Apologies for barging in w/o getting to know the place first. I'm running against a time limit on a return though so I'm hoping to get an answer quickly ;)
I recently purchased an Oppo upscaling/regionless DVD player and tried to hook it to the Sony via input #6. It didn't work :( One issue is possibly the fact the Oppo has a DVI output and I had to use a DVI-HDMI cable. Since it's noted in the manual for the TV that it won't work to connect a DVI PC to the HDMI I'm thinking maybe whatever signal is coming from the Oppo is similar enough to that that it is being ignored. On the other hand, one thing I've notced is the fact as I cycle through the inputs input #6 never shows up. So hitting the Video button takes me from tuner, #1 - #5 and then back to tuner, whether or not there is an actual signal coming through at the moment (aka I never have anything plugged into the side [#2] but it still shows up as a black screen). Should #6 be in the cycle? I looked through the book and the menus and didn't see any obvious way to activate it so my assumption was it isn't in the mix until there is a signal there. Is that correct?
TIA
