I was just going through HK's site and my manual, and it says that it should pass 1080i AND 1080p via HDMI. What gives? Did they change the specs on it and forget to change their literature?

And here is where I fall short on technical knowledge. I have a Samsung HL-s6187W . . . would this be alright? I kinda feel like I'm cheating myself by not getting 1080p.

Ok, I got a new HDMI cable and I've got the same issue. Again, when HDMI is direct from the PS3 to the TV, I have no problems. When the receiver is introduced to the equation, I've got the white, red, and blue sparklies, particularly around the edges of faces, collars, etc. I just now changed...

Do you mean a cabling problem in that there is a problem with the cable, or the cable is of poor quality? I'm using Rocketfish HDMI cables, but when I had the PS3 hooked up directly to the TV I had no issues at all.

Hey guys. I just got a Harman Kardon AVR 247 tonight. Got it all hooked up with HDMI from my PS3 to my Samsung 1080p DLP. Now, when playing sources that are HDMI, I have white speckles and red and white colored noise all through the picture. It's not like a snow, but more of a speckle here and...

I just replaced the lamp in my Toshiba 62hm84, and about two weeks later when I turned off the set, I had a buzzing noise coming from the fan/lamp area. Now, sometimes when I turn on the set it will make the same buzzing and then turn itself off, with the LED indicator doing the same thing it...

Hey guys. Lately, my RXV-800 has been shutting off when I turn the volume up past about -35. Now, it only does it when the Dolby processor is on and the center channel is active, and when I push the button for "effect off" and it's only in stereo, I can crank it up as loud as I want and it's...

Most people want to know how to get rid of the black bars on widescreen DVD's on widescreen sets. My question is the opposite. A widescreen television has an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. As we know, 2.35:1 DVD's have obvious black bars to make up the difference. My question is, why don't you see...

Hey all. I went out to Spring Break Nationals this weekend and there was a demo car there from Planet Audio, who I'd never heard of before. The car sounded incredible. I've had a bit of bad luck with my Diamond Hex's . . . two bad pairs of crossovers, they sound like garbage. Depending on what...

I've adjusted everything possible on the amp. I went to Sound Advice last night and ended up walking out with an Alpine cda-9835. I think my problem is with my head unit, so I figured I'd try a new one. Sound Advice's return policy is 60 days, even if they don't install it, which is pretty...

Hey all. I've been having this problem for almost a year, but it's tax time and if I have to replace something I'll have some money, so I've just started going after it aggressively. Right now I have an Eclipse 5423 HU, Diamond Audio s600s component speakers run off of a 600x2 amp (I'm not that...

Has anybody heard anything about which way Denon is going to swing between the two formats? I have a DVD-1600 that is fantastic, so I want to stick with Denon for the next generation. Are they going to hold out and make one that is compatible with both formats? This would be ideal, however...

Yes, the cooling fans will stay on for a little bit. I was reading through the manual and it says that immediately after use the lamp can exceed 392 degrees F. That's pretty friggin' hot.

I have my contrast at 65, Brightness at 67, color at 48 and tint R2. Coincidentally I got the same results as they did at dlptvreview.com in their review of the Toshiba. I was watching a DVD tonight and noticed that I had forgotten to put the set in "film" mode, so I made that change and it made...

Hey all. There's not a lot of feedback on the Toshiba DLP's out there yet, so I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. I just got this set yesterday, it has replaced my Mitsubishi ws-73411. Through work I had this set available to me for about 2300 with the 4 year service plan, so I simply could not...

Dave, just FYI, most video games are coming in 16:9 now. Not all, but most of the big releases.

Jim, is it a dual LNB or triple? Does dish even have triple? There are reasons that I cannot disclose as to why I have dish over direct . . . I'm sure a few of you know what I mean.

I don't work FOR DirecTV, I work at Best Buy and we sell it. Disappointingly, we don't get any sort of discount on service or else I'd probably have Direct. I hate calling them because they always want to install everything themselves and I don't like having to tell them no 50 times. Hopefully...

Hey all. I work with DirecTV and I know you have to have the 3 LNB dish to get HD, but I have Dish network at home and have been able to find jack from their website about what equipment is necessary to receive HD, and I hate calling them. Is it the same as DirecTV? Someone told me they thought...

If most of what you do is video games and DVD's, I think DLP is the best way to go (and unless you're buying plasma, the best way to go all around). If you're using XBox for games, most games are at least 480p, with a scattering of 720p and 1080i titles available. Off topic, wasn't Halo 2...

Good to hear. I've got the 62hm84 on its way on Sunday, I'm pretty excited. Out of all the DLP's I've seen the Toshiba is the best, IMO. The Mitsubishi has gotten some pretty good writeups, but I think the Mits is kind of flat. Anyway, glad to hear you're enjoying the set. Can't wait to get mine!

I second the calibration note. While generally not a fan of upconverting players, we have the 5970 (upconverting with no VCR) hooked up at work (granted, playing the Spiderman superbit DVD) and it looks pretty good on the Sony 42" Sony LCD projo. Should be even better on a direct view CRT. Some...

Edison, what type of TV are you using?

First of all . . . who makes a 2000 dollar system that comes with a DVD player that isn't even progressive scan!?!? (I do believe they have upgraded the new 28 to PS, but I know last years wasn't) The PQ from this unit was bested by a 40 dollar Cyberhome player. That's one reason. The price vs...

Hey all. I'm getting my Toshiba 64hm84 in a couple of weeks, and I'm thinking of getting an upconverting DVD player to go along with it. The Denon 1910 immediately jumped at me because I currently have the 1600 and it's awesome. Clearly noticeable PQ difference with the Faroudja chip vs. "Best...

I've just started looking into this player, as I'm getting a Toshiba 62hm84 in the next couple of weeks. I currently have a Denon DVD-1600 which I've been extremely satisfied with. However, since Denon has come out with a reasonably priced upconverting player, I'm wondering if I should splurge...

Kevin, the HLP series of DLP TV's from Samsung has seriously reduced the problems you're talking about. The HLP's are noticeably better than the HLN's, which were Samsung's first stab at DLP (correct me if I'm wrong.) Soudn Advice (Tweeter) keeps some old stuff around for quite some time. The...

A couple of things, as I mentioned before I'm just tired of convergence, geometry, all that crap that goes on with RPTV's. Second, I'm around a lot of the newest technologies available and I just want something better. Third, it's a hair too big for my room. The screen size is perfect (I'd love...

The only one with the framing issues was BTF2, you can send in the disc and get a replacement for free. It doesn't take that long, but I don't know about international customers.

I forgot to say that the set is not even a year old, I'll have had it for a year in Feb. I don't care for plasma, to get the PQ out of a plasma that I'd want it would be way out of my price range. Plus most of my use of the set is for video games, so I don't want to have to worry about burn in.
