I have owned my 2910 for about 8 months now and on the whole I have been very pleased with the player.
Up till recently I connected to a Benq PE8700 projector via DVI. I never had any synching issues and was very happy with the setup.
I have now replaced the projector and in the end went for the new Benq PE7700. The 7700 has an HDMI inpup not DVI, so I though simple, I will just buy an HDMI to HDMI cable to feed the new 7700.
The problem is I am not able to get any image through HDMI. I can get an image through Composite, S-Video, Component and Component Progressive Scan (Top Tip - You have to set the 2910 to ouput neither HDMI or DVI to get a Component Progressive to work). I have had the occasional flash of an image, but mostly it is a flashing green bar just below the centre of the screen. I think that lots of other 2910 owners are experiencing the same problem through HDMI and the symptons I am experiencing are all too common. E.G. Infocus 4805 Red Bar At least in this thread Denon seem to have admitted a problem by nature of the fact that they offered to replace the product.
I spoke to Denon UK and got the latest firware from them (version 8). I installed this as they reliably informed me that it should do the trick. So having upgraded the firmware I tried again with HDMI, nothing!
I then bought a DVI to HDMI cable and connected that to the DVI on the 2910 and would you believe it a perfectly stable image.
So here is my dilema, do I continue to use the DVI to HDMI connection I know works and try to forget I have a faulty unit via HDMI or do I send it back for repair for realistically 2-3 weeks and use some crappy replacement while it is away and then find it isn't fixed when returned anyway?
Has anyone else experienced problems with the 2910 and HDMI?
