Have you tried connecting it to your display directly? Some folk on AVSForum have had problems with the HD-A1 and their display - one of the reasons I have cancelled my order, as I own a Sanyo Z2 projector which no one has reported as working via DVI/HDMI with this player (but a number of people get the HDMI Error).
