equipment: Panasonic DV2-S97S, DVD player (up converting when using HDMI only) Dell W2606, 26" LCD TV (DVI input, no HDMI) HDMI-DVI conversion cable, 3 meters
problem: When using HDMI/DVI I get a green screen. Progressive scan output using component works fine.
Searching for similar problems on the net I've found a few other instances (the problem generally being green screen with digital connections) though few definite solutions. One that looked promising was to reset the HDMI/DVI input on the TV. Does anyone know how to do this with the Dell W2606? Of course there is replacing the cable which I haven't tried yet. Any other ideas? Is it possible that the DVD player requires HDMI only on the TV side; that is, conversion to DVI won't work for some reason (copy protection)? What is the likelihood that the HDMI/DVI circuitry is broken on the DVD player or the TV?
update: I found that my TV was set to yuv, not the rgb the DVD was set to. When I set the TV to rgb the green screen went away and the colors worked, but it did not use the entire screen and there was a white noisey line on the left of the screen; there was border af about 3% all around. I then set TV size to Full Screen which filled the screen, but I still have the white line on the left and I can see the left and right edges of the movie frame (they are not trimed off by the edges of the screen).
Other strange behaviors:
I get sound (I have the seperate audio cables connected beside the DVI connecter) with the TV set to rgb, but not with yuv.
If I set the DVD to 1080i the TV wont stay in rgb mode, but will go to yuv (so I get the green screen back).
The DVD is supposed to sense what the TV is capable of (yuv and rgb) but it only gives me the rgb option.
