Dish 6000 question

[storminorm]

I have a DLP projector with a Pioneer 49TX receiver. How do hook up my 6000 to the 49TX...everything from projector to DVD is component so do I hook up just component. For some reason I get sound but no picture. Anyone running a receiver, how is your 6000 setup? :confused: :confused: It is in HD mode with component.

anyone out there... :(

Two things to check... is the 6000 putting out the right resolution for your projector? There is a choice of 720p or 1080i. Also the component video is only active when the reciever is in HD mode (blue light on front).

Also there is a way to switch between component and RGB.

Norm,

I don't have a 6000, but you should be able to output through the receiver to the projector the way you described. Make sure your video in on the receiver is set to component, and look at the 6000 menus for output selection, being sure to specify component.

You can test the connection by inputing another component source such as a progressive scan DVD player into the same socket to see if the receiver is set correctly. If you get a pic, then the 6000 is the issue.

This new gear has so many ways to get where you don't want to be, it is ridiculous.

BTW- You didn't go to grad school in Cincinnati in the 1980s did you? I knew a storminnorm who graduated in 1982 who moved to Georgia.

Best I can do is tell you how we hook-up our better A/V receivers & HD sets.

We connect the TosLink digital output port of the 6000 an optical digital input of the A/V rcvr for Dolby Digital & better PCM digital sound decoding. You say you have sound so maybe you have accomplished this. Maybe you're using the stereo analog connections. If your Pioneer is 2-channel or Dolby ProLogic that's the best you can do.

As to the video, the A/V receivers we carry feature component video switching & sometimes even component video upconversion. So we run the component videos for both the 6000 & the DVD to the A/V receiver and connect it's component output to the display.

On older A/V receivers or those that don't have component video ins & outs, we home-run the videos to the display. Does your DLP have more than one set of component input jacks?

Some do, but only one is Y Pr Pb. The other is Y Cr Cb which means you can't have HD & "progressive" DVD at the same time (unless your A/V rcvr has wide-band component video switching like the one I was talking about above.)

If your DLP has 2 sets of wide-band (Y Pb Pr) componet video jacks you should be OK if you know how to switch inputs.

The native resolution for DLP is 720p so you need to set the 6000 to output that in the HD set-up menu.

Incidently, there are some DLPs around that don't have HD capability. They have component video for DVD (Y Cr Cb) or some other SD source. I hope that's not your situation. Then you'd have to run the 6000 in the SD mode.

Hope this helps.
