I think the D-Sub on that projector is for analog input only. HDMI is digital. Unfortunately as you know the DVD player will not upconvert over anything but HDMI. Solution: Take the projector back and get one that has an HDMI or HDCP compatible DVI input. The BenQ W500 does and is meant more for home theater. Or just stick with component to D-Sub.
