Title: Problems displaying GC games in Progressive Scan mode (Hitachi 42" Plasma)
Post by: digdug on December 05, 2003, 05:24:25 PM
Hey all,
I own a 42" Hitachi Plasma TV which supports VGA, DVI, and Component inputs. I ordered the component cable thinking I'd have no problems displaying progressive scan games, but when I tried I get a blank screen and two errors: "No Sync Signal", and "Invalid Scan Freq". I'd imagine these errors deal with the horizontal/vertical frequencies the TV is trying to display the signal at, but I can't change them manually unless I use a VGA cable (TV setting restriction).
Has anyone out there run across a similar issue? Suggestions?
Thank in advance,
Dig

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like to me that your plasma TV accepts a RGB component input, but the Gamecube is sending a Y-Pb-Pr component signal. These signals are incompatible and the only solution for that is getting a transcoder.
