No chroma bug. Someone mentioned a ~1 sec layer change as I recall.

Yes... it's the exact same unit as the LG. They are flying off the shelves at Wild West now -- the company's CEO did a post on that AVS thread basically saying "thanks... more are on the way!"

No, you do not need the dish. Simply go into the setup of the box and set it to "no dish." And, FYI: You must leave the access card inserted in the box, even though it is not activated.

Well said... and I like your sig. line too! The last 2 pieces of crud I bought were made in Alabama and Puerto Rico... and we all know what country they are part of~!

You bet, Gene. Start here: HD DTV for $99 net and be prepared to read through 21 pages of posts to understand the complete lay of the land. Then, enjoy... ;)

Worried about what? China is a massive assembler for all sorts of major companies now, using components made everywhere, including there. Get used to it... just like we did w/ Japan 30 years ago...:)

Well, you don't say what you have for equipment, but have you considered moving to HD? As a 2+ yr DTV subscriber, if you have been paying at least 45/mo and have not had late payments, you'll qualify for an HDTV receiver, a triple LNB dish, installation w/ a 1 yr commitment. They will charge the...

It is entirely up to the station in your local market. Some have the money for DD/AC3 and others do not. Call your local, or if you are in an O&O CBS market and have DTV, catch it HD/AC3 that way.

The 151 will do it also. It OTA only, while the 160 is DirecTV too. The 151 was replaced by the 165.

Go to FutureShop.com and pay for it and send it to him that way, from there. I have done it with family and it's easy. He will then have a valid warranty & service too.

If I could get the 1600 for 250 I would jump at it. I have had mine for over a year (at 450!) and I love it! And, 16oz is no problem... it can actually hold a 32oz Big Gulp rock steady also... :D

Norris: see my post in this thread... http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=179992 ...about how to trick the 160 and use its zoom modes effectively for all material on the 1080i input. After that, you will never switch to 480i for SD material again.

Todd: I am assuming your Sony is 16:9. With the 160, you can fool it and thus use 160 stretch modes on 1080i sourced material to get rid of the transmitted black bars on upconverted SD material. Just tell the 160 you have a 4:3 TV in setup instead of a 16:9 and presto -- just use zoom mode for...

Yes it does. See it all here: DVDRHelp :emoji_thumbsup:

It will do them all. See DVDR Help

OF COURSE... and I have that song on EP too! 1972 Yamaha YP211 manual, belt drive, new belt, Shure N97HE Era IV cartridge, 600 platters and a bunch of direct-to-disc vinyl that still sparkle plenty!

At the risk of starting an off-topic series of rants, the following FAQ from the BetterCables site makes sense to me... and I use both w/ my Denon 3801 and appreciate the flexibilty to do so. "What is better OPTICAL or DIGITAL COAX? Generally speaking, when you have the choice between...

No picture issues whatsoever with it... it was excellent (I ended up going the Denon 1600).

The CP-72 is still in stock at Crutchfield.com for $229, an authorized dealer, w/ a $30 rebate if bought before 3/31. I just sent mine back Wed because I did not like the clunky, confusing platter mechanism so check their 'scratch & dent' list as it was in perfect shape.
