I have read through the manual on the Bravia, it says it takes 1080p on the component side YPbPr, but this model doesnt accept 1080p on the VGA(D-Sub) input. I cant use HDMI as I need to extend source which he used cat5 for. I am aware HDMI can be extended across fibre but there is no provision for it, it is for a friends house that already has the cable pulled.
