    Sony STR DA4ES and wavy lines in S-Video

    Kimo, I didn't try my component video switching either, I just couldn't justify the cost of another cable at 40-50$. Especially since the S-video doesn't work so well.... I read something in the manual about the S2 being converted to S-video, but it was very vague, and I think it may have...

    Tosh 57HX83 question

    I have had my Tosh 57hx83 for about a week, and although I feel comfortable that I have everything connected the best way possible, I was wondering if there is any way to get my set to show me what type of signal it is displaying. ex: when playing ESPN 2K4 football for Xbox...how do I know it...

    SONY 2ES/4ES users, please help!

    Nick, I have a 4ES and am not sure if it is the same remote. If it is, to switch normal surround sound modes, push in on the scrolling button in the center. This is the same button you press when changing the sound field. When I select a sound field, I push this button to enter the sound...

    Clear something up for me....

    Thanks guys! I think the whole 'digital' connection is the puzzle pc I am missing. I plan on getting a coax conn for the DVD audio when the new DVD arrives (Crutchfield was nice enough to give me $50 for buying the new DVD so that should more than cover the cable I need) Thanks again...

    Clear something up for me....

    Hi all, Question regarding digital connection. I have my DVD player currently hooked up via S-video and a pair of RCA's. When I ask my recvr (str-da4es) to auto-decode a DVD, it reverts to 2 channel with sub. I can manually set it to 'normal surround' and get all 6 speakers to function...

    Is it really worth.... (DVD player)

    Guys and Gals, Is it really worth my dough to get a progressive scan DVD player if I don't have HDTV? I am not planning on replacing the RPTV with HD for a few years, so my thoughts were to just get a nice DVD player for under 200$ and replace it with a PS DVD when the TV goes bye bye...

    Newbie ?? on STR-DA4ES

    My post got locked in the middle of typing, but I guess the topic still came in huh? Ok, if IIRC, #1 How easy is tuning using the S&V disc and the analog Radio Shack level meter? I have both, but being a rookie to HT I wanted to get an honest answer, not the reviews shown on Amazon.com...
