Hello, I just noticed that one of my Gamecube games, Soul Calibur, supports progressive scan if the Gamecube is hooked up via the component video cable (which mine is). It says in parentheses (525p) every time it says "Progressive Scan". My question is, will this work on my TV since my TV says...

Hello. I have a Sony 30" Widescreen HDTV with DRC (Digital REality Creation). You can select from 3 different modes: DRC Progressive, DRC Interlaced, and DRC Cinemotion. Apparently, DRC is supposed to "upconvert" analog signals to "near high-def quality". And true, some analog signals look...

Well, after trying two different LG 418 upconvert DVD players with my Sony 30" Widescreen HDTV with the HDMI input, I gave up and bought the Toshiba 5970. It too has the HDMI output and it comes with an HDMI cable (seems real cheap) so I figured with a new player and cable I should be able to...

The DVD Player that I've been posting about the last couple days, the LG upconvert, is not working properly with the HDMI cable. So I was wondering if anyone might have some insight as to whether it's the cable or the TV. I returned the DVD player to Circuit City today and got a new and I'm...

Hello: I just got a Widescreen Sony 30" HDTV with an HDMI input and an LG DVD Player (LGDVB418) that upconverts to 720/1080. I have it hooked up to the TV via the HDMI cable. My questions are: 1. Will I still get progressive scan with the HDMI input? In the manual for the DVD player it talks...

Hello: I have a quick question about this TV: I'Art PRO AV-32DF74 32-inch Digital HDTV Monitor My question is this, it says that it has a display of 1080. but it doesn't mention 480 or 720 like some of the other tvs do. Some list it as 480/720/1080 whereas this one just says 1080. Does...

I'm seriously thinking about getting the following tv: http://store.yahoo.com/saveandmake/ct-32hl43.html Does anyone have any experience with this set? In the store, it looked great. This tv has a DVI input which I'm not too sure about but I guess will enable the closest thing to HD DVD as...

Hello, I just got the Rush in Rio concert DVD and have noticed two technical problems with it. One, during the "intermission" where the animation begins and plays, the disk starts to "stick", then about 2 seconds into the animation itself it completely freezes. To get it going again I have to...

I've been looking at the Samsung and Zenith 30-32" HDTV sets. They both look pretty good to me. the Zenith has a built in tuner so that's a plus. but the 30" Samsung is widescreen. Are there any other options out there in this size? It seems that most HDTV are 34" or larger. So these two...

hello: i have a Phillips progressive scan DVD player hooked up via component cables to a Hitachi HDTV-ready 53" tv. On some DVD's everything works fine with progressive scan turned on. On most, however, there are problems. the main thing is that the picture will go black every so often. it...

Hello: I've been looking at the Samsung 30" Widescreen HDTV set (I'm sure what the model number is, but it's the one that Sears, Best Buy and Circuit City all have right now for 999.00). I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this set? I read some reviews and they were mostly...

Hi: I have a small issue with my Sony Trinitron TV. I have a Pioneer DVD player connected to it (through a receiver, but this problem also happens when the DVD player is connected directly to the TV). You know how when you have the TV on the "Video" channel, as opposed to TV, it is a blank...

Hello. I have a 53" Hitachi HDTV-Ready TV and a Phillips Progressive Scan DVD Player. It's hooked up to the tv using component cables. Most of the time the picture is beautiful, but lately the screen has been going completely black for a few seconds. Then it comes back in and plays fine for a...

My reciever (Onkyo) doesn't have a dedicated Phono input. So does this mean I have to buy a preamp to hook my turntable into first? I saw a Sony Turntable that said it had a preamp built in. I have an old Pioneer turntable. Is there a way to tell if it has a preamp builtin? It's very old (over...

When should you use the setting "Digital--PCM" on your DVD Player vs. the straight-up "Digital" setting? With ProLogic II on my receiver (from DVD's that are 2.0 or surround, but not 5.1) the sound is MUCH better when I switch my DVD player to "PCM". Thanks!

Hi there. I have an Onkyo HT-R500 digital receiver. It works great and has great sound, EXCEPT when I'm watching Special Features on DVD or DVD's that are encoded with Dolby 2.0. Then it automatically switches from "Dolby D" to "Pro Logic II". Once this happens, almost always it sounds bad...
