I have a Mitsubishi HD1080 Diamond Series HDTV (Rear Projection) Model WS-55907 with the 5 BNC connectors (RGBHV) for attaching an HD Receiver (1080). I would like to attach my Diamond to a Sony HD-DVD player, which has both HDMI and Component output. However, my Diamond only has separate Component and RGBhv inputs (and no HDMI input). The Component input is limited to 480P. Is there anyone out there that has successfully connected the HD Fury successfully on this particular model of HDTV (or any rear projection HDTV model with these connectors)? Is there any other solutions?

Would this work with upconverting DVD player? As I understand it, upscaling only passes over HDMI. But is it possible to maintain an upscaled signal using this device? It's unclear if it's HDCP compliant or such. Anyone ever use one of these things?


Thanks very much!

Hi David,

Are you absolutely sure that your Mitsubishi is limited to 480p over component? Not RGB? (That's what I've typically read).

Dozens (if not hundreds) of Mitsubishi and other RPTV owners are enjoying HD DVD, Blu-ray and upscaled DVD through the HDMI output by using the HDfury2. It will do exactly as you ask.

Quotes:

"I just hooked up the Special Edition HDfury2 to my Mitsubishi 55809 RPTV and it works like a champ. I am now watching 'Luther the Geek' on a Phillips DVD player that upscales to 1080i. HDFury2 appears to have fixed all the issues, as promised, that plagued those trying to use HDFury1 with RPTVs (at least as far as the Pioneer's are concerned). The picture is perfectly centered, there are no weird green lines, and no swings in brightness that I had read about in other posts regarding HDFury1. Awesome work. The colors look awesome, and sync locked automatically to the input. No screwing around was needed." - Lexx21

"I want to congratulate you for a great product. I have a Mitsubishi WS55905 rear projection Television and have tried several devices to connect my PS3 to my television to take advantage of upscaling. I just connected your HDFury2 and it works perfectly. The shifting has gone away and the colors, especially on dark scenes look great." - James_Aguirre

"WOW! I must confess, I didn't really expect to see a difference in the picture quality. Boy was I wrong. The picture is awesome. Everything works exactly as it should. Dish VIP722 to Denon AVR-788 to HDFury2 to Mitsubishi WS55511 TV (component YPbPr input) No problems whatsoever! PS3 looks great. Overall, the best way I can describe the picture is "smooth". The HDfury2 really shows off what my old set can do. There is no "grainy reds" and the picture seems to be brighter overall. It brought new life to my old Pink Floyd Pulse concert. So many colors and details in that video and the HDfury2 brings it all out. There is no grainy picture, yet the picture looks very sharp. I'm anal rententive about having perfect registration and the TV must be working well because edges are extremely sharp. I didn't think having the all-metal CurtPalme.com special edition casing would make any difference. But it just adds a touch of class. I was surprised at how heavy it was. But when you pay a premium for something it should be built this way. It feels solid and looks great. Finally, I want to thank the whole gang on a great job. The HDfury2 is a great device. For me there are no flaws. The shipping from Taiwan to, essentially, Washington DC was super fast. On Friday when I received my shipping notice I never expected to be installing it on the following Monday. And everyone on the forums has done a great job keeping my informed about what to expect and when. Kudos to all!!! It was well worth the wait and the money." - Toejo

"Okay then! This thing does everything that I've heard! It really works!!! This is money well spent and will extend the life of the CRT based RPTV that has served me so well for so many years. Sure I don't have the fancy 1080p that so many other displays boast, but I also have no rainbow or screen-door effect. The HDfury2 maximizes the the functionality of my non-HDMI television, and gives me more time to evaluate the new technological improvements that are coming to market (LaserVue, new LCD display tech). Well done HKMod, Kal and everyone else working on development for this product! The HDfury2 continues to ROCK and has unlocked the full potential of my home theater!" - SpenceJT

"I'm definitely impressed with the module, as it has given my RPTV new life." - jdbt3027

Im in a similar boat, I have a Mit 55", I am using a Tivo Series 3. When I set the Tivo to 1080i fixed my HdFury 2 works amazing, but it will not work with my Xbox nor my DVD player. Any ideas? I got a new Amp (Denon 2310) with the intention of running everything through it and then to the TV. The Tivo worked, none of the others did. I tried to run both to the TV using the HdFury2 but they didn't show a picture.
