Hey gang,
I *think* I have an idea of my problem here. . .
I frequently plug a laptop into this projector with a VGA cable and run DVDs. Never an issue.
I tried to play Jurassic World on blu by connecting my Sony 5200 deck via HDMI. No picture.
I *think* the problem is that the 5200 is trying to output 1080p, and the projector can't handle that resolution.
There's an "Output Video Resolution" setting on the 5200, but the only options are "Auto" or "Original Resolution," where Original Resolution locks to the resolution of the source material.
Does anyone know of an easy way to run a BD on this setup? Worst case scenario, I could maybe use my PS3 and lock the output to 720p, but unhooking it from my main rig for this purpose (outdoor use) would be a hassle and not something I'd want to do on a regular basis.
