Hi, I would appreciate your help with this. Just bought a Panasonic AE900 projector and hooked it up to my JVC TH-S8 HC set-up. Scart to scart looks great but when I connect with a component cable all I get is a blue screen. Have tried a second, new, cable and get same result. Switching the JVC's scan mode between 'progressive', RGB and Y/C makes no difference.

Anyone any ideas?

Needn't you switch the PJ to component colorspace if it doesn't do it automatically (and it should)...if the component input on the PJ is shared on the computer VGA (SUB-D) input (conversion cable should be used) the above may well be the case...although usually you'd get green picture from a component feed interpreted as VGA RGB...but pins on the SUB-D may have custom mapping so...checking the PJ's menuos is your best bet to cure this problem...

I'm just waiting for my component cables to arrive after I bought a Panasonic DVD recorder last weekend. I noticed in the instructions that the component outputs are only activated if the video output is in the correct mode. It also had some sort of footnote that says the components dont work of you have any of the composite video/s-video etc connected. Perhaps the JVC has a similar configuration?

Cheers guys. Finally figured out that when I thought I had the JVC DVD player set to progressive, I was actually one button press away from having set it up properly. Massive difference between scart and component - worth the effort!
