Hi, Unlike some, I did not get burned in the dvd-a/sacd format war. As a matter of fact it gave me an opportunity to introduce myself to genres of music that not only had I not embraced, I couldn't even opportunity. I found out things like there's even a book dedicated to John Coltrane's Jazz...

Hi, It's possibly not your audio processor that doesnt have the "Audio Goods" its the player and software. I've been using a video scaler for the last 4 years and have been quite pleased so my excitement for HD-DVD has been the new audio. If you have a processor with 8ch analog ins', then...

Hi, Thanks for the reviews, I look forward to your thoughts on film transferrs that come from deeper in the vault. I've been using an outboard scaler on a fully ISF'd (Michael TLV) CRT RPTV for about 4 yrs now and have often A/B'd a scaled dvd with the HD cable broadcast of the same film...

Hi, Is your Anthem sold? [email protected]

Hi, One of this months slew of A/V Mags has a round table discussion which took place on the yearly HT Cruise. People like Joe Kane "Digital Video Essentials" anwers questions comparing flag and motion basded de-interlacing amoung other things. It's pretty informative. Peter M.

Hi, Your InFocus deserves an ISF calibration before you try and make 480p look like 1080i or 720p. I'm begging you, look at it as an investment not an expenditure. You're at the one yard line. Have whatever equipment you will be using available at time of calibration, ie HD cable/sat...

Hi I don't mean to dump on your HTIB but rather than invest any more money into it you might want to visit a site like audiogon or in Canada canuckaudiomart or audioeden and find a previously enjoyed 7.1 receiver with a set of 8ch analog inputs. That way from an audio format side you'll...

Hi, In the event that getting a pair of rear surronds is not in the budget yet, and since the rear channels are 6 and 7 respectivly I would suggest that if you can get your hands on one speaker (a center channel would do nicely) you can experience the full benefits of the only true 6 channel...

Hi Jay, My feeling (due to the excellent size of your HT)and having helped others with similar issues is than rather than creating higher SPL's in the room, your goal might be more fullness at comfortable SPLs. My HT is in a Condo Master Bedroom and is only 10'W X 15'D with a double door...

Hi Peter, You mention that your finishing off your HT so I'm going to assume that your present speakers were mostly for music. When it comes to HT you will hear the phrase timbre matching, particularly as it pertains to the front three speakers. This means (in your case) finding a mission...

Hi, If you want to get rid of switching to DTS on the fly I think you would be better to do it through the setup of the player itself. Let me explain. When you have a disc in the player and you press setup, the player thinks you want to set up the disc. My first player (which only had s/vid...

Hi, I have an upgraded Denon 5800 which someone showed an interest in purchasing. His concern was that DPL IIx was not included only DPL II. I have a 7.1 setup and am still waiting patiently for discrete software to catch up to the hardware we already have. I called Denon who offerred it as...

Hi, I'm sorry, but what you just said is seemingly vuage but actually meaningless. Peter M.

Hi, To scale my DVDs I use an SDI modified Panny rp82 and the HOLO3D PCI card vid scaler from Immersive. I scale to 1080i on my Tosh 65H80. If you have visited the HT section of www.keohi.com site and read comments that ISF'r Michael TLV made last summer about A/Bing the LG player, (Zenith's...

Hi, Tommy_E,which B&O old speakers,(out of curiosity). I had S45's I think, bought with the 4000 processor. Anyway it had a teak or rosewood finish and 8 FM presets. I bought them in Toronto in 79. The woofer went on one of them and a guy in England wanted to buy the other woofer last...

Hi Guys, It might have been mentioned here before but ther's lots of info provided by ISF'r Michael TLV on the LG and Zenith 318. (it's twin) at www.keohi.com Home Theatre section. If its scaling to 1080i from HDMI thats awesome. Regarding concern for the cost of a good HDMI cable, I...

Hi, I guess the big question mark in my head has to do with HDCP compliant/in/outputs from digital sources. I thought that the rule was that HDCP would pass the digital signal through but ignore any scaling attempts past 480p when it came to copy protected material and just maintain a 720 X...

Hi, Smart move Markus!! Peter M.

Hi, Iguess it depends how much you like the player. My RP 82 went down and my local elctronic fixit guy said that the reading lense had to be properly cleaned and while its open you might as well change the spindle motor since the player is over 2 years old. It cost me $72cdn tax inc. My...

Hi, I would thing that a HDMI in/put would deffinitely incur HDCP and would not scale a store bought DVD. Use component, you won't be disappointed. Peter m.

Hi Guys, The only input that I have concerns IMAX and 3D. Quite frankly I made the mistake of seeing Crouching Tiger on a Imax screen and it was very grainy. On the other hand I saw the Imax 3D Cirque du Soleil production of Journey of Man which was awsome. Unfortuneately the dvd did not...

Hi Ted, I think it will accept the latest gadgets used by HT installers. I also think the 5803's remote can be RF as well as IR. If the 5805 takes off, I could see new 5803's under $3000. If it doesen't, it might go in the other direction. There's a Flagship Reciever forum with Denon on it, you...

Hi, I've seen Gene DellaSala's equipment reviews in A/V Mags as I would imagine many of you have. If your interested in not only seeing an indepth (7)pages review of the 5803 but also a step by step bi-amping method of unused channels and if thats got you interested to the point of...

Hi Jack, I haven't read every review out there, but I have taken special interest when the flagship avr's are given in-depth reviews by those who are not afraid to call a spade a friggin shovel. The point that I was making is that when the 5803 was introduced many reviewers suggested that...

Hi, I can't speak for the actual 5803 regarding offerred upgrades but since the last one the Denon mentioned that there may be something for us down the line. If DTS-HD comes out as a true 7.1 choice it may already be covered by the last upgrade but in anycase the upgrade would have to have...

Hi, Some recievers maybe becoming obsolete but I would have to argue that fact when it comes to Denon. I have a 5800 which I had upgraded to 95% 5803 status which gives me everything my HT is liable to need in my lifetime. A major part of that is mt HT which consists of a CRT based 65" rptv...

Hi, If you go to "The Secrets of Home Theatre site, there is a Benchmark dvd testing report that goes back to 2000. It's the most unbiased and detailed I have seen. There is also a forum attached to the site. Peter m.

Hi Warren, I echo your sentiments completely regarding tv HD or otherwise, there's so much garbage there ought to be a law. There isn't but if your lucky (if not now but very soon) when you make the "Hotel California" HD TV trip, make sure you spend the extra (mine from Rogers cable in Toronto...

Hi Matt If your a DIY guy whose very comfortable around electronics and you have a cheap source for parts. You probably also have atest bench and the copes and tools to check and modify spin timings and all and of course you warranty you own work. If not PLEASE DON'T SCREW WITH THIS ONE IN A...

Hi Craig, If the 318 scales the same way it's twin the LG player does and your set is properly calibrated scale from component and you'll hardly know the difference from DVI. If your not one of the ones I sent to www.keohi.com (hdtv forum section, go there and read ISF'r extraordinaire...
