Optimizing 3D's potential using Darbee Video Processors

Originally I had it connected in-between my Yamaha receiver and my LG EG9600. I then by-passed the receiver and connected between my BR player Sony BDP-S6500 and TV. Unfortunately, with the same results. I thought that I had a bad processor, and had Darbee send me a replacement. Unfortunately (again) with the same results. I'm at a loss as to how it can work with 3D (impressively, I might add), but with no other format.
Any help/suggestions from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi gaucho,

Very sorry to hear that. I get an occasional video drop out on the special features or my recorded DVD-Rs. Not often but when they happen they come and go in spurts.

Question. Do you see any 2D content at all, like the Sony menu in 2D if you do not have a disc inserted? Did you also try hooking it up to your cable box? That's also in 2D.

That it happened with two darbee units does appear strange. Can understand your frustrations. See if it passes through a 2D picture via the cable box.

Now I know this is a dumb suggestion and you probably tried it already. Did you try using another HDMI input on your LG?
