Why is it that my Clearco HD9000 projector defaults to 1080i when connected to my SKY HD Satellite box, which is great but when connected to my Pansonic Blueray it defaults to 1080p resulting in lines down the left hand side of the projection? how can I change the dpi on the projector as looked everywhere!

Its a 150 w metal halide bulb. any electrical supply store or online. about 5 pounds cost

Hi,
Tata HD has clearer picture as it has high definition technology while Tata sky just has standard definition .

Your HD9000 is only a multimedia projector and has no tuner for Television. You will need a TV tuner/Digi Box/Satelite receiver to be able to watch Television.
Hope that explains it for you.

i think you should enter the setting mode and check their for image flip settings or something.

I'm not familiar with that particular projector, but I believe I can help you get a couple cables to hook them up.

According to some specs I found * the projector has a VGA connection. Next we need to figure out which MacBook Pro you have. Does it have a silver keyboard or a black keyboard? If the keyboard is silver, you need a "DVI to VGA" cable, at least a metre long. You might want a longer one. If your keyboard is black, your MacBook Pro probably has Mini Displayport. That's a bit more exotic, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a "Mini Displayport to VGA" cable.

You can also get adaptors and then use regular cables.

For audio, I believe they're called 3.5 mm stereo plugs. So you'll neet a 3.5 mm stereo plug to 3.5 mm stereo plug cable. Make sure it will be long enough.

Apple sells both kinds of cables. If you want to save money, you might shop around. I don't know UK stores, so I don't know if I can help much there. I buy my cables at www.monoprice.com, an American site.

Hope this helps.
Good Luck!

any adapter that will go to an rca connector.

You must enable external video on the laptop for one. Also, verify that the resolution is within the projector's range. Most likely, you do not have the external video connector enabled. There should be an "F" key with a symbol that looks like a TV screen. Holding down the function key and pressing that "F" key should toggle between the following 3 options:

1) External screen only
2) Laptop screen and External screen
3) Laptop screen only.

Toggle through the above as well and you should get the projector to work.

you have to match the resolutions. you may have to drop it on the laptop.

Cant find specs on your Model. If it is HD 720i or 1080i both will work. But then again the Sky box may convert the HD to composit, which makes ordinary old TV sets look fantastic. On a HD set they look even better. don.t worry it will work.

sounds like you are not on the right input selector on you projector, should be on hdmi or component
