Nice job James. Looks good.

Of course I meant to say, Do I simply turn "off" the progressive scan mode on my DVD Player? : )

John S, not to sound like a newbie, but how do I get it to convert from 480p to 480i? Do I simply turn of the progressive scan mode on my DVD Player? Other than that I don't know what setting I would mess with. Thanks again.

Todd, that sounds like a reasonable explanation to me. I do believe that my projector shipped with the latest firmware already on it. I'll have to make sure when I get home. John Wittle, I was actually thinking that it could be my DVD player as well, but I've now tried the SP4805 with two...

I recently purchased the SP4805 along with the 106" Draper Screen. I have not yet ceiling mounted the projector. It's currently sitting on top of my equipment rack, about 18' from the screen. The colors and detail in the picture are outstanding. The only problem I'm running into is what I would...

Actually, I never touched any of the cables. I just blew inside the player when the tray was open. ;)

Thanks Allan. Believe it or not, you solved my problem. It was just the typical pessimist in me to assume that if there was a problem with the picture, it had to be my TV. I actually have 2 DVD players. The JVC I wrote about yesterday for 2:35 Movies, and a Toshiba for 1:85 Movies. Sort of a...

Quick correction, my TV is a Toshiba 61H70, not 61H80. I haven't had to say the name in a while. ;)

I've had a Toshiba 61H80 HD-Ready RPTV now for about three years and have loved every minute of it. The picture has been rock solid all along, but I've started to notice something annoying as of late. It's something I've seen attributed to Front Projection as "Screen Crawl" where you notice...

Artie, one more thing. I actually have a set of the Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 Surrounds in my house right now, and am in the process of sending them back, but certainly not because they sound bad. I started with a set of JBL's that sounded good for a while, but started to crackle right around the...

Hey, Earl. Not to get to far off the topic of this section of the forum, but I noticed from some of your other posts that you have a 61inch TV. I myself have the Toshiba 61H80. Which model do you own? I'm am very happy with my choice to go with 4:3 because I still watch a lot of normal...

Thanks everyone for your replies. Artie, I agree with you that it must be something in the way I have it set up, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. I know it's not the cable, because the cable is actually just as new as the receiver which I bought only about four months ago...

I decided about four months ago to step out of the standard Pro-Logic dark ages and upgrade to a DD, DTS receiver. The first one I bought was a Sony. I Don't remember the exact model but my problem was that while I liked the discrete separation, it just didn't pack the wallop my old pro-logic...

Unfortunately, you have no idea how hard it is to get a "real" technician out to my house. I'm in Canton, Ohio and for some reason, there just aren't that many Toshiba authorized technicians out here. So it looks like I'm going to be sticking with two DVD players. The JVC for 2:35 movies and the...

I'm looking into getting either one or the other and would appreciate getting some opinions on which is the best buy for the money.

Thanks for the helpful answers. When you say that zoom destroys the original aspect ratio, I agree that this is what happens when you are zooming "in" on the image which a lot of people do because they can't stand the black bars, but I'm using it in the exact opposite fashion. I'm actually...

I purchased a Toshiba 61H70 from BB in April of 2001. Sadly this was about 6 to 7 months before they started coming out with the anamorphic squeeze for their 4:3 sets. I felt justified getting the 4:3 because I still watch a lot of normal broadcast television, and the size of wide screen DVD's...
