DVI-D, DVI-I, DVI-A...jeesh

OK,

I thought I had understood the differences in DVI cables but apparently I have not.

I bought a Denon 1910 DVD player with a DVI-D output plug. I thought I could use any DVI cable to plug it to my Sharp Aquos LC-32G4U that has a DVI-I plug. So, I ordered a "DVI" Monster cable from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007LAYN

Unfortunately, no signal. Yes, I cycled through its 4 modes (no DVI, 480, 720 and 1080). One note, the photo on Amazon is inaccurate; the cable they sent over is actually the kind with a gap in the teeth on both ends.

OK, if the Denon has a "DVI-D Out (HDCP)" plug and my Aquos has a "DVI-I" input plug - what kind of cable should I get?

Could you state the official name of the cable and describe what each end's pins should be?

Thanks,

D.

Damiel, did you figure it out as I am buying these same components tomorrow but am first trying to figure out if it can be connected as the HDMI input will be going to my new cable box.

Just called Sharp support (which was great by the way!) because I thought the tv wasn't working with my computer. It turns out that I'm using DVI-D with my 6800 video card. The TV wants DVI-I though with the analog (4 pins around the flat ground pin). I'm ordering a true dvi-i cable now.

For a DVI-D to DVI-I connection you can use either a DVI-I or a DVI-D cable, you cannot use a DVI-A cable.
