Donnie, This tripped me up for a while too, but I think the stereo DIN is an output (for projector, & Z-screens, etc.) not an input. Suffice it to say that the nVidia USB dongle does not work (in my hands, with or without USB power) as a VESA-based emitter the way we apparently both hoped it would!
