OK well part of my monoprice order came today, the 6 foot cables made it so I installed them. No change. I do get a lumagen message that comes up for a second. The image projected is huge, at least 2 foot higher than the normal 16 9 image.( I call it an image but its really just a large screen of static.)
Since I am getting a lumagen message(however briefly) can I assume that it is being sent through to the pj ok ?
I am at a loss, I dont have the repeater yet or I would try that.

OK, what happens when you go BluRay to projector?

Then put the Lumagen in with another short 6' cable.

Then the receiver.

When you do lose the signal?

Let me give that a shot, be back in a few minutes.

Jeff,

If you haven't tried it yet, hook the Lumagen to the projector with just a 6' cable.

The Lumagen will be defaulted to 480p which is why you are getting the huge image (480p isn't setup on your machine). You can go through the Lumagen menu and change the output to 1080p, or look in the manual for the direct command to enable 1080p.

With a 6' cable at the projector you want to be able to see the Lumagen menu.

If it still doesn't work, make sure the Lumagen and projector are plugged in on the same AC power circuit. If you have the projector and Lumagen (and other equipment) on different circuits you can get a ground loop which the Vision processors are very sensitive to. Have all your equipment on the same circuit.

You also should just remove the ground from the Lumagen 3-pin power cord. Just rip it off with a pair of pliers and get rid of it. Don't use a 3 prong power cord with the Lumagen.

Sorry for the delay, my dog was in a battle to the death with a groundhog. I had to go get her by passing through 30 yards of poison ivy. Then I got stung by yellow jackets(3 times) then a shower. Then I tried your suggestion. When going from the Oppo to the pj FINE.
Then I added the VP and I got a picture but it was full of noise.

I'd say the Moome card is fine, but the Lumagen settings either are off, or the unit (or power supply) is bad.

Going to remove the ground from the VP be right back.

Jeff,

Be sure that you BD player is not set to 1080p 60Hz. If it is you may or may not get a picture from the Lumagen on screen. If you do get a picture it will have noise.

Be sure to set the BD to 1080p 24Hz.

Jeff,

Also be sure to set the Oppo to RGB and make sure deep color is turned off!

Craig, If its ok with you I will just put it back the way it was WITHOUT the lumagen. I dont need it right now anyway.I will order that cable and will have the repeater here by then. Pulling the ground did get rid of most of the noise but not all of it.
OK ?

Set at RGB with deep color off

I am not walking so great right now, my calf is swelling up from the damn yellow jacket stings, maybe I can give this a shot tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will set the oppo and lumagen under the PJ and see what happens, I might have to go to the hospital now.
