    Hitachi 57SWX and the movie mode

    I have used my Hitachi 57TWX20b for DVDs mostly and have used Movie mode. My question is now that I am getting a HDTV STB and will be using DVI input on my TV, should I switch to Sports or News mode when watching HD content from DirecTV and OTA? Is HD HBO via DTV "film based material" or...

    Hitachi 57SWX and the movie mode

    I also have a Hitachi. If I have a prog DVD player that can do 3:2 pulldown, should I make sure and never use the "movie" mode on my TV...to avoid unneeded D/A/D conversions and extra signal processing?

    DirecTV with HDTV - Best place to start

    I am in the same situation. Does anybody know any good reason to wait til the new HD receivers are released? I've heard new ones to be out in July/August.

    Next year's Hitachi 57TWX20b "dumbed-down"

    I just bought a 57TWX20B and the salesman urged me to get the current year because he said several Hitachi model lines were going to be downgraded next year. I took it to be salesman talk, I had my mind made up on the set I wanted. I didn't want to wait 4 monthes for next year's anyway.

    SVS and Titan A.E.

    My wife just picked up the DD version of Fantasia 2000. Where should I look for good sub testing material on that disc? Also, excuse my ignorance but, does the DTS format include more, better or different LFE and bass information than DD? I've seen most bass testing references mentioning the...

    WEGA Owners: 16 X 9 enhancement observation.

    I have some questions about the 16 X 9 enhancement mode. I know you have to go to the setup menu and change it. Is it for anamorphic DVDs only? Do you set your DVD player to 16 X 9 mode too? Then do you switch both the TV and the DVD player back to 4:3 for all other media? ------------------

    Banana plugs and biwiring

    I am not currently biwiring but I use these. http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F005%5F003%5F008%5F000&product%5Fid=278%2D308 They are stackable, one set just plugs into the back of the next.
