Over the past month or so, ever since I ran a hi def signal to my Sony D50, I have been experiencing a strange video drop out while watching an HD movie. I have suspected that I had a setting wrong on the projector that was causing it to sometime lose sync.

On this projector, under the "Input Setting" menu there is one entitled "SYNC SEL". When inputing an HDTV signal the choices are:

1: INT: Set to this position when using the internal sync signal.

2. EXT(C): Set to this position when using the external composite sync signal, and

3. EXT(HV): Set to this position when using the external horizontal/vertical sync signal.

When I originally connected the projector for hi def I selected #3. In thinking about this I suspect that #3 is supposed to be used in conjunction with an external scaler and that my use of it may be causing the video dropout problem I have been experiencing. I am connecting an HD-XA2 and a Samsung BD-1400 to the projector thru a pre/pro using the component connections. Which of the above setting should I be using?

In addition there is also a setting under the same menu entitled V SHIFT. The choices under this setting are:

1: WIDE: Normally, set to this position (factory preset). and

2: NARROW: When some signal such as a superimposed signal with unstable vertical sync signal is input, the picture may be distorted vertically. In this case, set to this position. Adjustable range in the lower direction will become narrow.

Of these two choices which should I be using? As you can tell from these questions I am a noob at all of this and I suspect I have created my own problems with an incorrect setting. Please educate me.
