Hi,

hopefully someone in  here can help me with my BS3 problem.

My BS3 is MKI SW 6.11 and basically performs well (e.g. DVD per HDMI). Problem is that I could not yet find any way to connect my Media-PC (that incl. nice BD-player) to the BS3... I tried all kind of  connection configurations, but no success. Absolutely no picture. There is even no boot picture (pre-OS). PC is a Sony VGX-XL302 with a GeFoce 7600GT with HDMI 1.3 out only

Is this due to the fact that BS3 does not support 1.3?!? I thought that 1.3 is also backwards-compatible (so that it acts like 1.1 if requested to). PC works fine if directly connected to LCD-TV (Sony KDL-46Z4500) - but no way with BS3.

Any hint?

Thanx!

Hi batfab,

There'll probably be some trial and error to come, but my first move would be to test the HDMI output from the computer with a standard TV monitor before trying it through the BS3. If the computer drives the TV monitor, chances are it should drive the BS3.
