M1-DA nightmare courtesy of Infocus


Hi guys, just looking for a little input on what to do in my home theater situation, regarding one of my video inputs on my IN76. I have this digital input that reads (M1-DA/DVI) Connector next to my HDMI port on the projector.

After reading online that "M1" processes the same signal as HDMI and DVI I went ahead and purchased 25 foot high quality cable that was HDMI at one end to my PS3 and DVI at the other, Upon trying to hook up the wire, the (M1-DA/DVI) connection should have just read M1-DA as DVI will not fit. So back I go online to find an adapter, which is made for this purpose, and finally got it in the mail last night. I went to hook it up to the projector, set the input correctly, turned on the PS3 and no signal... nothing. I unhook it from the PS3, and try it on my upconverting DVD player, still no picture. I then go to my HD Satellite HDMI port, nothing again... It makes no sense. I tested the dvi - hdmi wire and it works fine, but as soon as I add on the M1 to DVI adapter, I lose all signal.

What am I doing wrong...? Help.
