Pre-pro problems with 3d

[dholmes]

I have a 3d projector & blu-ray player but my pre-pro is only 1.3 not 3d friendly,the pre-pro is a onkyo pro 5507,does anyone have this old pre-pro & use it with 3d? The player is Sony 790 & it has 2 hdmi outputs and connected to the Onkyo but Im doing something wrong,cant get 3d to pass though it. thanks

You need to run one HDMI from the Blu-Ray player to the Onkyo for sound and the other from the Blu-Ray player to your projector for the video. You will not, as far as I know, be able to run your video through the Onkyo in any way at all if you want 3D to work, you need to go straight from your Sony to your Projector, so here's hoping your projector has a second HDMI port.

You don't need a second HDMI port on your Projector Just an HDMI Switch that could actually be placed somewhere in the middle of the run from the Onkyo/Blu-ray Player and the Projector. That would accomplish 2 things. first it would give you the second HDMI port you need for the projector and second it would add a signal repeater in the long cable run that could help maintain a better quality signal from device to projector.

Just a thought

thanks everyone,Ive been reading the manual on both & its suppose to work without using another hdmi cable to projector,the Sony says you select both on the hdmi output.My projector is a Epson 6020u,I think the Onkyo is the problem I dont want to get rid of & get a different one that is 1.4

Have you tried this? Take the HDMI cable going from your Onkyo and to the Epson and plug that directly into the Sony rather than the Onkyo, take the Onkyo out of the equation for now. Does this get you a 3D picture? If does there are some more steps to take here to get you your sound and everything else working.
