Have you got a VGA output socket? Use a VGA to VGA cable and connect both from there, it should work instantaneously.

There Are no RGB or YC output on the PW2 , the optical link may be your only option . But I'm not sure .

There is one way you could use your Projector ,

But only really for TV ,

The Sony VTX-D800 FreeView Box would allow you to use the 2 scart connections In the rear of the unit . I have seen an Epson projector working that way , And A very ver good Picture .You can also Add A DVD player to the Sony VTX-D800 Via The scart ,

I do use the Sony VTX-D800 FreeView Box with my own PCV PW1 and that is stunning .And well worth the investment .

:smileygrin:
ok just in case anyone else needs this info i've solved the problem....

the usb to VGA adapter works!! (it also gives you the second display option normally found in display options!) but you have to be a bit careful it doesn't knock out your tv driver...
