Might I suggest taking a look at this DVD player from Oppo Digital? Check out the DVD player benchmark on the Secrets of Home Theater and HiFi website. This little player topped out at a 94 which was second only to the Denon 5910. I am going to be putting some serious thought to this...

That makes sense. I got to thinking about my display last night and the fact that it has to upscale any signal to 1280 x 720. That was a brain fart on my part. I wonder how much difference a scaler like the DVDO iScan-HD+ would really make. I bet the signal from that device looks good, but I...

John, Um... I'm not sure I understand your tone. If indeed you are responding sarcastically, there is no need. I am merely suggesting that he may have to consider extra equipment to make use of that feature. If Mits has built in capability to scale incoming signals, then great! No need for...

To me it seems that the 1080p displays are only good if you have a source that can take advantage of it. If you are set on 1080p then you may want to consider a scaler that is capable of producing a 1080p signal. I have a Mits WD-52525 and I absolutely love it. I have never been more pleased...

I am building a new theater room and I plan to use the BenQ PE7700 (unless someone can advise me otherwise :)). The room will be 14 x 16 and the screen will be one of the short walls at the end of the room. This gives me 16 feet of area with which to mount the projector. I am curious as to...

Thanks for the tip.

Can anyone suggest a good way to market this HDTV to people in just my area? Thanks, Tony

This HDTV ready (DVI) RPTV is only 2 years old and in perfect condition. It has never been moved. It was delivered to my home and placed in it's current position and has never been moved. It works great! Great picture and great sound. It is currently calibrated using an Avia DVD. The picture...

Thanks for the relpy! I will go check out audio advisor.

I really like the salamander stuff but it is so expensive. I would love to get something like that, but the wife is not excited about spending that much on it. Maybe I can convice her... Thanks very much for the reply!

I am looking for a nice furniture grade stand for a 52" DLP. My problem is that I need to be able to put my center channel inside the cabinet and it is rather large (Swan C3BC). Does anyone have any suggestions for something that is more on the classic style side? My wife is very picky and I...

Johnny, Thanks for the reply! I had the same thought. I went into my DVD players settings and checked over everything. It all seems to be in order. I'm just really picky about this stuff. I would expect a receiver in this class to not have issues like this one. Everything seems to be...

Unfortunately the reset only sets the recevier back to the factory setting for the latest firmware installed. Reseting the receiver is actually part of the firmware upgrade process. I did some A/B testing with 2 different recordings of the same song. One in HDCD and the other not. There was...

I agree that it is a dumb glitch. They should have found that in testing the firmware. I bet HDCD is working properly. I will A/B test it tomorrow to find out for sure. Tony

I contacted customer service for H/K. They said that the issue is possibly realted to the recent software upgrade that I installed on the receiver. Apparently they had noticed issues with other people calling in with similar problems. They said that the HDCD processing is still working...
