Last night while watching JAG , I noticed that when there was a flashback , and the picture composition changed drastically, my InFocus 4800 would lose the picture momentarily, then display the "setting up picture" box. This happened about 6 times last night and was kinda annoying. Something I'm doing wrong?

Setup:
InFocus Screenplay 4800, Computer input fed by component cables, set to 16:9
LG LS-4200A, component output, to computer adapter on FP, set to 1080I

Upgrade your firmware, you can download it and the directions from the infocus website.

No joy. :frowning: The version on-board is already 1.6, the same as the most recent on the website.

Would changing from component cabling to the VESA computer port help the picture be more stable?

I had this problem twice with mine. The first time it was my DVD player. For some unknown reason it would cause a signal change during some switches like you described. I wasn't able to determine if it was in fact the player or the PJ recalibrating for a signal change but changing players solved the problem.

the second time it turned out to be a component connection at the switchbox. The red cable had pulled out ever so slightly and during the same type situations would cause the PJ to lose the signal.

I have noticed this happening on if my SAT signal goes out for a second. The PJ has to refind the signal so I have always assumed that both the DVD player and loose cable caused a very short loss of signal.

Thanks Doug,

This is more along the line of what I'm getting (loss of signal), as I haven't had a problem with the DVD player or LD or VCR, just the OTA box. My first antenna purchase was a disappointment; I have sent it back and I am awaiting a replacement. Very few places around here carry rooftop antennas anymore.
