Toshiba A3 and infocus X1 no picture with component

Hi there,
as the title suggests just got a tosh A3 but plugged it into my receiver via component and no pic whatsoever. Worked with composite but that really defeats the object here though doesn't it. now the infocus is connect to my onkyo receiver via component to vga as that is the only hd input never had trouble running any other hd sources before i.e samsung HDtuner and upconvert dvd player. Now the vga input will only accept a progressive signal i.e 480p to 1080i. on the toshiba is there a way to lock the signal to 1080i permanently rather than letting the tosh choose what it wants. I dont even get the menu screen or start up either? when connected via component....any thoughts or do I just have to wait for a different HDDVD player?
