After lots of fiddling around, I decided that the PCM signal is digital. It in fact is. The catch is that although TWC may even SAY that you get Dolby Digital, what you are really getting is Digital Dolby Pro-Logic sound. (or a digital 2 channel signal thats not in DD format, that DPL can be...
Lets see if I can recall this from memory:
Video:
Coax from wall to TWC STB
Data HSDL from STB to HDD
Composite from STB to AVR
S-Video from STB to AVR
Component from HDD to AVR
Component from AVR to RPTV input 2
Composite from AVR to RPTV input 3
S-Video from AVR to RPTV...
I used that recipe, and it worked pretty well, after about 5 times. Still has a stench though if you get to close, but its good enough to come back into the house. Guess the pooch gets shuned for a couple weeks... Thanks for the hints.... DS
It appears to only happen in DD 5.1 mode, but I think I have experienced it during DPL. For me, it has been more sporadic than common, but will happen during a DVD mabey twice or more. I mostly noticed it when it would return to 'normal', which was an immediate thing. I have no Sub, so talk from...
I posted this earlier, after some more research.
"I will never make the mistake of NOT doing enough research before purchasing a HT component in the future
Here are some quotes from www.audioreview.com "

Just an FYI, on another popular forum, (think spotted dogs)we are building a small group of JVC receiver owners that have found a defect, so far affecting RX-9010VBK and RX-8010VBK receivers. There seems to be an audio defect that causes the audio to fade away to lower levels, then with either a...
Currently, I have a S-Video connection (in addition to the High Speed Data Link) going from a TWC Digital STB to a Motorola HDD200. This is "converted" to a component signal and sent to the TV. The HDD has 4 settings; Native, 480p, 720p, 10801. If the HDD setting is set to Native, will the...
I will not promote JVC only because I am a biased owner of one, but I can say that i have commonly heard that you get the most bang for your buck from JVC RPTVs. But IMO the picture quality has been good on mine. Their newest ones have not been out for long so there is sorta the guinni pig...
Actually, Its probably more complex than whats stated above: Currently, I have a S-Video connection (in addition to the High Speed Data Link) going from the STB to the HDD. This is "converted" to a component signal and sent to the TV. If the HDD setting is set to Native, the signal from...
Jorge,
Sorry about that.. :) Wont happen again!
Hugh,
Yes, it is Time Warner. And I am renting the box.
Bill,
Please excuse me if I do not answer these correctly, as I am fairly new to HT, and the RPTV is new as well, but let me have a shot.
1. The display will accept a 720P...
George, you are correct, I checked, and its a 4 setting switch. Thank you for figuring that out. I should have caught that. I will try the 'native' setting for a while and see how it works. Thanks, Dave
Greetings,
I am renting a Motorola HDD200 from TWC. This box has a switch in the back to output 1080i, 720p, 480p native. I also own a JVC AV-56WP30 and it supports 1080i, 720p, 480p. Now, TWC in my area offers ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, HBO, SHO. with all that said, is my best option to leave...
On JVC models AV-48WP30 and AV-56WP30 there are four options; Panarama, Cinema, Full and Regular. In panarama mode, it appears that the image is partially streached, and partially truncated on the top and bottom. This is a very nice (preferred) image to watch for regular NTSC programming. In...
Greetings, Just thought I would bring this old thread back to life. I have owned the JVC I'Art pro (AV-56WP30) for about 4 weeks. At the time of purchase, I also purchased a JVC XV-S502SL DVD player. I added these components to a previously (but recently) purchased JVC A/V Controller...
I just finished installing a 57" JVC RPTV. Between that and my front mains stand two black halogen 6' floor lamps. Not only do they look cool, but sit just to the rear of the screen, shine up to the wall and ceiling, AND can be dimmed to your liking. I am glad I chose these for my room lighting...
