I replied in a related thread, but thought this subject deserved its own.

I recently set up an HD system using an HD satellite receiver with a DVI output, and a Toshiba upconverting DVD player (Model SD-5970). The satellite receiver works wonderfully in HD; and the DVD player worked well for the first week (uses an HDMI output; but as I am using DVI cables, I connected an HDMI to DVI cable out.

After the first week the DVD player would not provide a video image through the HDMI output (component output OK but the resolution was not as good). Troubleshooting isolated the problem to the DVD player, which I exchanged, but got the same problem with the new unit. The Toshiba website cites problems with the 5970 HDMI output. I changed to the Samsung upconverting DVD player, which also would not work through its straight DVI output. I am left using the component outputs of the Toshiba unit.

Has anyone had similar problems and found more info and possible solutions? Does anyone know of other brands of upconverting DVD players besides the Toshiba & Samsung models?

TIA for any help.
