I am not sure why, I went though hours of checking and spent a lot of money; in order to play my Sega Dreamcast though to my Sony VPL-VW10HT projector. The projector's manual suggests I can use a VGA signal however, the only inputs for this would be the RGBHV(RCA) connections. I had spoken to the people who made the Kuro Dreamcast VGA box, and the people who made the custom "VGA to RGBHV" cable for me; both parties assured me victory in the set-up; to no avail. I tried the 4 different video setting on the projector's menu screen…the best I can get is a faint green or green and blue picture for a few seconds upon startup(the swirl)…then it cuts out; I should state that, respectively, this is while only attaching the green or green and blue cables to the projector…if I attach the red, horizontal sync, and or the vertical sync: I get nothing.
I have pictures of the components, as well as a link for the manual to the projector.
- Dreamcast is confirmed to function properly
- Projector is confirmed to function properly
- Kuro is new and the "blue LED" functions properly when turned on
- The cable(VGA to RGBHV), I think is obviously the problem, but anyway, it's brand new(custom made) over $60 dollars and had better function properly! ^o^
The last thing I want to state is that there is a switch on the Kuro box, going from VGA to RGB…I believe I only got that faint picture if it was in VGA mode.
This is the Manual for the projector:

…… I dunno' I can't post the images…I'm not sure why…anyway..it's the:
- Kuro from BBS:

If any other information is needed, please ask; I really want to know what the problem is…how am I suppose to use the RGBHV? this is such a simple connection, it should work!! *.*
