n-Vi HDMI connection problem

Use the component connection and enjoy its very high quality. DVI-HDMI have too many incompatibility problems and is not really better when it works.

Fair point Manu and I do already have a component connection running but it is now a matter of principle for me !

As way of interest I have a Panasonic th-37px60b connected to my n-Vi via an IXOS XHT408-300 cable. DVI output is switched on at the n-Vi and I have cycled the power on the n-Vi after setting the TV to HDMI1 input first. Still no joy.

Does anyone know if there is some other setting I need turned on/off in the n-Vi as the component output works fine?

thanks, Jon.

NOt really, I would suggest you try another HDMI lead, or better still a DVI to HDMI lead.

It will be the lead not the nVi.

Hi. OK but it is a DVI to HDMI lead. Is there a brand etc which is preferred or do you think I might have a duff one?

Try an HDMI cable with a DVI adapter at the n-Vi. I would suggest The Chord Company of course, they also have adapters.

If this does not work, the problem could be the Panasonic not recognizing the HDCP hand shake but I very much doubt that.

Does the Panny work with another HDMI device?

Hi All,

I have just purchased an IXOS HDMI DVI cable to connect my n-VI to my 37" Panasonic plasma. Can I get the DVI connection to function - can I as heck! I have set the DVI output to on, plugges the lead into the HDMI socket on the telly but all I get is a blank screen. Anyone have any thoughts/help in terms of how to resolve it?

thanks, Jon.

-What model screen is it?

-What code is the unit running? see here:

Hi,

The n-Vi is running;

PIC c02-15
CHEERS 000.189.005.006

The TV is a Panasonic th-37px60b.

Thanks, Jon.

Have you:

-tried both the HDMI sockets on the Panny?

-checked the n-Vi video setting is Auto, rather than PAL or NTSC


Next try this:

a) put unit on disc input, with no disc in drawer, drawer closed.

b) press and hold the input button on the front panel for a couple of seconds, a Service Menu appears on the front panel

c) go to Settings (second down) using the remote navi/ok keys

d) select either Comp Offset.fix (or DVI Offset.fix, depending on firmware) with arrow keys and toggle the setting, then ok the selection

e) exit the Service Menu by pressing setup button breifly on remote control.

See if you get a picture on DVI now

NOTE: If you go back to component output at any point, you will need to toggle the setting back

If you still get no picture, try a full factory reset from the front panel menu (this will remove all user settings).

Hi,

Toggling the offset fix didn't work so I thought I would fiddle with a few other settings!

Turning off the PC mode and suddenly there was a picture ;-)

thanks for the tips.

cheers, Jon.

The offset toggle basically inverts the sync pulses (a small amount of screen manufacturer's were picky about the orientation of the sync pulses - so we added this in case)

The PC mode tweaks the code to force the unit to run a PC formatted signal (640) rather than a true 480/576p standard def signal. It's a legacy feature

You suggested that this mode was switched on and you turned it off, so ok that makes sense.
