<font color='#000000'>Thanks for the reply, and I could give that a try. However, read the following:
Well, I finally got a response from JVC's "next level" tech support, and here's what they told me.
The unit is not designed for delivering component video more than over 3ft cables they provide. They were surprised I could get 480p over 6ft, but not than I couldn't get 1080i over a greater distance regadles of the cables used.
Therefore from their perspective - no solution.This response seems pretty pathetic to me, and indicates and real weakness on the 1080i (or perhaps even 720p) output of the deck. This also means I have no way I can use 1080i between the DVHS and my projector since all my AV equipment (receiver, speakers, three VCRs, two DVD players) its at least 14ft. from the ceiling mounted X1 projector. I see no way of using the DVHS-X1 connection for 1080i unless I celing mount the DVHS as well - very impractical in my den, and would also involve running long audio cables back to the receiver, and connection to the rest of the AV system (including basic TV), and other VCRs for dubbing.
Any possible solutions to this? JVC also told me there's no way of boosting the component signal once it's left the DVHS, but I can't imagine there's no way of doing that. One thought I did have was that since the component to VGA-in of the X1 projector is via a "component-to-VESA adapter" by InFocus, perhaps I could put that at the DVHS end, and run a long VGA cable to the projector. Maybe the long VGA cable would have better luck than the long (17ft.) component cables.
How does that sound?
