I'm running prg scan from a CA Azur 540D. Initialy I tried the VGA port on the Sanyo as this was the cable already is use in my system (all the Benq has).. the picture was green only but good and sharp. Changing cables to a 3 x RCA one got the colours back but so soft. IS this likely to be a cable issue? First try I just used some cheapo audio wire & wasnt surprised when it didnt look fab. Then I tried a longer run of AV cable but no difference.
advice please guys. Other than this very pleased with it.
cheers

Can't comment on the Z1, but the Z2 fed by component, via AV receiver (component switching) and a Cambridge Audio (yes, I admit, I shop in Richer Sounds) DVD player is pin-sharp.
As you're saying the VGA port is also pin-sharp then I'd pretty much rule out either DVD or PJ, so my guess is the cabling. When you say AV cable - you are talking about a proper component cable (i.e. balanced 75 ohm [or is it 50?, I forget]) and not just some audio leads with phono plugs on the end. If the latter then the problem almost certainly lies in the leads.
For what its worth, my (cheap) component leads cost £30 on the high-street (Maplins), and the image is beautiful via those (10m), 2m of inner-wall coax, component switch in AV-amp and 1m component between AV-amp and DVD player.
