Infocus X1 projector to Outlaw Audio 975

Having some trouble getting my Infocus X1 projector to recognize the new Outlaw Audio 975 processor. It keeps searching for a source and never locks in. I think I have it hooked up properly, using a VESA to component adaptor from the projector's input to the processor's component's output. Am I missing something?

Thanks for all of the responses. I went out and got a TV with HDMI inputs so I could access the Outlaw on screen display (apparently, this is the only way to do this is via HDMI). So, I adjusted the TV and Video sources from HDMI to component in the hopes of getting the projector to recognize the processor. Still no luck. I'll go back and try to adjust the upscaling from 1080p to 1080i to see if that helps, as someone already suggested here. Will let you know. Keep your fingers crossed.....

If using the component video output on the Outlaw,
you must use the component video inputs only (p20 - Outlaw manual).
Also, if you are using the Integra DPS-6.7, its resolution must be set to 480p to get an output from the component video outputs (p58 - Integra manual).

Still no luck. I am getting audio to work now, but no video. I adjusted the Outlaw to 1080i from 1080p. Even tried dumping down to 720 and 480p. Nothing. I also tried switching to Native.
The source I'm using is a DVD player via HDMI connection. Perhaps HDMI is not going to show up through a projector connected via component? If that's the case, then the only good solution would be to get a projector with HDMI, right? Yikes, more $.

That is correct, see my previous post. Again, if you are using the Integra DPS-6.7, it must be connected with component video and digital audio to the Outlaw, and the Integra's resolution must be set to 480p to get an output from the its component video outputs (p58 - Integra manual). Also, the resolution adjustments on the Outlaw only affect the HDMI. To use HDMI, you will need a different projector.

Have you tried using the component video only?
