Anyone using HDMI to DVI-D?

Have you had any issues with HDCP causing problems. I am looking at a Marantz SR5003 receiver to use as a pre/pro, HD codec decoder and HDMI input switcher. The Marantz OM goes out of it's way to state that your display must be HDCP compliant. I am using an HDMI to DVI-D cable from my BD player and HD cable box to my 6 year old Sony 60" RPTV with no problems. Don't want to have to send the Marantz back if I get it.

I did what you are proposing with my first plasma display. Now, I am using an HDMI-to-DVDd adapter with a DVI cable and a DVId-to-HDMI adapter now. The issues have to do with what is on the ends of the cable(s), not the cables. Can we assume your Sony is HDCP-compatible?

  I poked around some more on the net and I think DVI-D capable displays like mine are HDCP compliant. I can watch HDTV cable programs from set top box set to 1080i (set top box does not have a 1080p seting) and I can watch 1080i or 1080p from BD player via the HDMI to DVI-D cable I have. Apparently the whole issue revolves around the fact that DVI-D or HDMI is a digital signal and the powers that be were worried about copying that signal onto DVD or whatever media. Will they never learn that if you can encrypt you can decipher? I saw the other day that BD copy guard has been hacked and bootleg BD's are on the streets.

  - It should say so in the manual or specs. - Kal Rubinson 07:39:31 02/24/09 (0)
    You presumptions are reasonable but they are not definitive.

I'm using one to a DVI display. - oscar 12:36:16 02/23/09 (0)
Either directly from the Blu-ray player or via an HDMI switcher. No issues (though possible issue with HDMI Switcher, it "died" while swapping out componenet but I haven't done any real troubleshooting.
