Hi All,

Im in the process of purchasing and setting up equipment for my first proper AV set-up.

Im getting the Onkyo 606 in a couple of weeks and currently have an NEC VT695 projector. (which is DVI-I)
I want to upgrade to a full HD projector in the future, but need ot save some pennies!

Ive purchased some HDMI wall plates from Nexxia, and also some premium HDMI cable which I am running through my walls before they get plastered.

My inputs into the Onkyo will be SKY HD, and a HTPC with Blu-ray drive for now.... PS3 in the near future!

Right, background info explained (hopefully! ).... and my (probably dumb) question is, will the my projector be OK with using a HDMI to DVI-I converter?

Cheers,

Kris

The big question here is , is the projector HDCP compliant , Ive been looking at cannot get a definite answer from any website ,

http://www.necdisplay.com/Products/Compare/

According to NEC's own comparison chart above , its not , or at least its not listed as compliant whereas others are ... so Im assuming because of the omission that its not.

If its not , then blu rays and Sky HD are not going to work via any HDMI feed.

You could always feed it an analog VGA signal though.

Thanks for the pointer Andy, Im still new to HD and wasnt fully aware of HDCP.
Ive had a quick look also and got varied results..... one in my favour (the PDF for projector)

I think I'll email NEC directly and ask them.
I could always purchase a HDMI - DV-I adapter and give it a go with a mates PS3. Dont know anyone with Sky HD who I could ask.

Can anyone confirm if they are doing this with a VT695?


Cheers again!
