|
|
Hello,
Hi,
i have a Toshiba HD XA2 and unfortunately, i'm unable to play 1080p with the HD Fury (only 1080i) thru the VGA input of my Panasonic Plasma (Th50phd9)… I get no image, whereas I do with a Xbox.
Has someone managed to ouput 1080p with the Tosh and the HD fury… or is the HD fury that is not fully compatible with this player?
Is there another device (moome?) that work with the Tosh HD XA2 at 1080p thru VGA?
Tx
Simon

Hi,
I have a 15' HDMI to DVI cable - pluged in the HD fury, wich is plug to the VGA input of my 50' Plasma (with the small vga to vga cable supplied with the hd fury). i can play 720p, 1080i but get no image a 1080p (a dark screen, indicating no signal)…
I'v just tried with a Hdmi to Dvi 3' cable… and it doesn't work either.
Unfortunately, I haven't found on the differents forums someone who managed to use the Toshiba with the HD fury at 1080p…

From what I have read your cable maybe to long, as the HDFury takes it's power from the cable. Try a shorter cable to test.

Hello,
Yes i edited my message. I put the player close to the screen and try with a short 3' hdmi to dvi cable, the hd fury plugged into the vga port… I get the blue light too, and spend an hour trying to get an image at 1080p and 24p, in vain!!!
Unfortunately i'm afraid the HD fury doesn't work with the Toshiba HD xa2 at 1080p. It's a nice little device but far from being problem free.

Hmm... It must be a weird issue between the XA2 and HD Fury because lots of people are using the HD Fury at 1080p with other sources. Question, though: Why are you so intent to run 1080p on your 768p display, anyway? With film-source material (i.e. movies - almost all HD-DVD's), as long as the plasma has halfway decent processing with inverse telecine, you're getting the equivalent of running 1080p, anyway. It may even be better than if the HD-DVD was outputting 1080p!
I wish I had a newer HD-DVD player so I could test 1080p for you. I'll have a PS3 in a week - that will be my only 1080p HDMI source. Of course, I have no use for 1080p as it's well beyond what my projector can resolve, anyway - kind of like your plasma.

Hello,
Well 1080i looks already pretty good on the screen, better than 720p. So I guess 1080p would look even better. I wish I could see the result…

Well,
I tried ALL of yesterday to get 1080p24 from XE1 (europe version of XA2)
It gives me 1080p60 fine ALL the time.
Im running USA firmware 2.8
I have tried ALL the settings that relate to 1080p 24 output
NEVER seen 1080p24 yet.
ALSO I am currently running out of the XA2 (XE1) into a DVI Magic 1 in 2 out DVI unit (HDCP Compliant NOT a stripper) into the HD fury, TOTAL cable length 2.5m
Its VERY hit n miss is the HD Fury lights up blue.
Gonna try direct from player.
(This works fine with my Sony S1 BLur Ray player at 1080p24)

Have you tired the power supply? Some people have needed it to reach 1080P

I experienced a similar condition at one time. I was using a long cable to the fury, and the blue light was on, but the picture was lousy. When I connected the power supply it cleared it right up.

I agree with the power supply being needed. Just added one to my HD Fury by running a USB cable from my htpc to the Fury and now my Panasonic Blu-ray player can do 1080p and for the first time my dish network 722 receiver can show do 720p and 1080i. Prior to the applying the extra power, it would only do 480p.
