My LG BX286 (DLP Short Throw Projector) only has one HDMI input. I have had my apple TV plugged into that one input via an HDMI cable. When I attempt to remove the apple TV and plug in say my PS3 via that same HDMI input, the PS3 is not detected. Troubleshooting: I have tried 3 different HDMI cables (of varying quality and brand) . All HDMI cables I have tried work to display the Apple TV but not any other device. I have reset (hard reset) the projector, still only detects the Apple TV. I have attempted to plug in other devices. A PS3, A macbook pro 2015, and another separate PS3. All of these devices work on other monitors/TVs, but the projector does not detect them. I have examined the sole HDMI female input on the back of my projector and none of the pins appear to be broken or bent. I will respond to as many of you as I can. Thank you for anything you can offer!
Hi, Do you get any error messages on the screen at all when you connect the other devices? Is the PS3’s BD / DVD - Video Output Format (HDMI) and 1080p 24 Hz Output (HDMI) settings set to Automatic? Here is a link that describes more about it. Scroll down to find the settings. Try turning the projector off and switching off the power, then inserting the PS3 HDMI cable (for example) and then turning the power back on and switching it on. Then try ‘scrolling’ through all the inputs with the remote to see if it will pick up the ’new’ HDMI connection. Have you ensured that the MacBook Pro video resolution and frequency is set to a resolution and frequency that the projector supports? Here is a link to download the projector’s user manual. Scroll down to p.51-52 to see details. Just some thoughts.
Could you send an imagen of the port, maybe the port pins are broken, or the cable.
Finally, is this really the HDMI HDCP problems?
