Thanks for the reply Brian. I was under the impression that none of the DVD recorders (except a few with a hard drive, but still arent connected the the DVD side) have Component inputs. Is this not the case? What other ways are there to hook this machine (or any others) to Hi Def receivers?

I just got a Pioneer DVR 210 from Santa. First DVD recorder. Replacing a JVC 65. Will use it for main DVD player as well as recorder. I have Digital/Hi-def cable and Hitachi 57" projection screen. I also hace the Time Warner Hi Def Tuner/recorder. I mainly wanted this unit to record from the hi...

Spray with Flek-stone (or similiar). Then (after dried throughly) spray with a good quality satin black paint. You can then apply a clear coat if desired,

How good are the BlueJean RGB video cables? How about compared to the MonsterCable Video 3 line? I am using them between my JVC progressivi scan dvd ant Hitachi 57swx20b as well as my HiDef digital cable box. Any real difference at all? Also how are there single cables for subwoofer use...

Well i'm a Polk man myself, but I really can't reccomend the RTi 70's. I had them for about a month and just couldn't stand them. They sounded like small bookshelfs in really big enclosures. I love their bookshelf speakers, for bookshelf speakers. I got rid of the 70's and got the Polk LSi 15's...

How about favorite Music or Concert DVD's? This is what of my favorite new things to do with my new home theater.

Let me tell you about a Circuit City secret (I've worked there 9+ years) Bitch enough and you can get ANYTHING!

Doug, Thanks for the reply... unfortunately, it's a litle late. I found out the hard way about the upper 3 pots. I barely touched them and HOLY &*^% !! I tried to get them back to original, but may be off a touch... I think it's probably off less than I think it is in my head... Is there a good...

Oh, What about the convergence adjustment?

Doug, My sharpness is set to 34. I have double checked my cables and they are correct ( and they are monster cabel m500 series) I even bypassed my a/v receiver ( has component switching capabilities) and seemed to improve somewhat. Thanks

MikeM Thanks for the reply. I used the "Sound & Vision" version of the calibration DVD to set it up after it had been on for about 10 hours. It did improve, but I guess I'm expecting better. DVD's are my biggest complaint. I have a JVC DVD with progressive scan output(yes I changed the settings...

I have read alot about making adjustments on this unit thru the service menu but can't nail down on how to "sharpen " the picture. I can live with the slight color irregularities... but the picture is driving me NUTS! I can't believe the picture can't get better than this on DVD or HD cable. Am...

I'l looking at purchasing one of these units, Either one better than the other? They look pretty similiar to me....
