Interesting. That doesn't exactly make sense to me why they don't down convert that way, but oh well. I'm going to go set up the advanced attachment now and fire this bad boy up for the first time. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Just got the Denon 1804 the other day and want to use it with my xbox and also my crappy little 19" tv that ony accepts rca in. So I went to a store to buy an attachment to use an optical cable with the xbox for the audio. There I found xbox offers 2 options, and both add the ability to use a...

I just bought the 1804 for the 1803 price as well from 6ave. You don't need touse key words or be awkward about talking to them. Just say you saw the deal here and you're interested. They told me they're banking on the support of forums like this and the avs as well.

Just wondering about projectors and whether they display images progressively, interlaced, if you have the option, or if the projector automatically sets itself from the material. Basically I'm an independent filmmaker (or videomaker as that's all I use) and am wondering how the projectors at...

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Sorry if this was in the wrong place. Where should I place this sort of thing in the future, "Home Theater- Receivers, Amps..."? Just saw a post here mentioning a specific denon receiver and thought this was the place. My bad.

I can get a pretty good deal on the SVR-884 from B&H photo video for $350, where as the 1804 would cost me around $160 more. What I was wondering if it is essentially the same unit as the AVR-1804. Denon has the owner's manual available online and it says "AVR-1804/884 Operating Instructions"...

Thanks for the help, but I'm still a little confused. So it's not a possibility to get an HD rptv to show 480i native w/o conversion even if I don't go through the external HD converter? So is my only option to find a 2001 panasonic? If so, could someone please give me some model numbers or...

I've been looking, but I can't find anything that will do this. Also important is not converting 480i to anything else either. Basically no automatic conversion. As an indie filmmaker, the accuracy is important. Thanks ahead of time for any help!

Thanks for the warning, I appreciate it. Thought Apex had a bad rep. Now I'm off to find a rear projection w/ 720p display w/o conversion. Not having any luck so far. Thanks again.

I'm looking to purchase my first HDTV and am looking at the Apex 51-inch HDTV GB51HD09 (rear projection). I was just wondering if anyone knows/ has an opinion on: 1- Apex as a brand and their HDTVs in particular. It's so cheap at $1100 and the specs look good (as far as I can tell) that it...

Thanks for the help, yall. I've been trying to isolate the problem and here's what I've got so far. The noise comes in any speaker using any wire when played through the rear speakers. Tried different modes (non surround sound) as well and the static is still there. So, it's an internal...

Having some problems setting up my new new(ish) HT system. I have an 11 year old Denon receiver w/ Dolby Pro Logic for surround, some older Polk Audio speakers in the center and 2 front positions, and just bought 2 Polk FXi 30's for the rear. But I'm having 2 problems: 1- The rear speakers...

Circuit city. I read another post about their selling polk stuff for cheap w/ a line line coming in. I'd check it out soon.

Today I bought a pair of Polk Audio RTi38s for $72 each and a pair of Fxi30s for $87 each. I've heard word of closeouts, perhaps this is why. Polk suggests $250 for each of these speakers and circuit city's online price for the fxi30s was $135 each. No listing there for the RTi38s, but the 28s...
