Jose, thank you for pointing out the Switch on the AV cable. That was exactly what I was looking for. This allowed me to change the setting to 1080i through the HD4 component connection. However I was unable to get the 720p to work. Apparently my Set does not support this? Micheal, Your...

Gentlemen, It has been nearly two years since I have logged in to this site, and I have every time been impressed by the level of professionalism and knowledge within these pages. A tremendous thanks to those of you that take time out to help the beginners. Now for my problem. I have a...

Allan and Chris, Thank you for your links and advice. They were exactly what I was looking for. The velvet seems like a good tip. Have you tried it?

I have a 60" phillips projection HDTV. It is approximately 2.5 years old When I stand close to the TV, and look down at it, I am able to clearly see glow of the red, green and blue lamps through the screen (or maybe red green yellow, cant remember, sorry). Is this I went to the Best Buy and...

Mike, I'm sorry, but I had to chuckle at the irony of your post. Immediately after stating the no price comment policy, you proceeded to price comment. Anyway. Bump for some cables that I would like. Unfortunately I'm strapped for cash until winter break comes. (still in college)

Hi. Today the first shipment of Denon dvd-1200's came in. I went to the store to pick mine up and ask a few questions. The salesman brought to my attention the Yamaha CX1. The Yamaha was originally $1300 marked to $999. It is currently on sale (closeout probably) for $499. I also have a...

Chris, thank you. I wasn't aware of that. so, to set up my Cd player: is it suggested that I run a digital connection from the cd player into the "CD" input on my reciever, and then also run a set of interconnects from the cd player into the "aux1" input. that way i can quickly switch...

guys, Thank you for your responses. I'm have another quick question about the format. since the Disk is encoded in 20 bit, it stands to reason that a HDCD player is required to take full advantage of the system. What suprised me was the fact that a duplicate CD made on a standard cd burner...

Rick, Is that true for all HDCD players or only DVD players w/ HDCD features.

Hello, I just purchased a new DVD player (denon dvd-1200) and am anxious to try out some DVD-A disks. I also have a Denon 5disk changer that plays HDCD's. Unfortunately I cant really find much information at all on HDCD's, and In only instance has my "HDCD" light on the player lit up; with a...

thanks for the replies, I guess there's really not that much information out there. There are some more features in the 1200, but as for the quality of processors and chipsets I'm really just putting faith in Denon that they'll release a better product rather than cutting corners and making...

I recently acquired a phillips 60" hdtv. Currently my only dvd source is from my playstation2. I wanted to take advantage of progressive scan, as well as of the anamorphic squeeze that my 4:3 tv allows, and none of this was possible with the playstation. I then researched this site a lot and...

well, I tried the "full" mode on the PS2 None of these modes changed any of the geometry at all. regardless of the settings, I wasn't able to get the tall thin people. Am I out of luck?

well, i've been reading some more, and it looks like the PS2 has another mode 4:3 / full / 16:9 I think "full" might be the answer to my problems

clinton thanks for your reply, As I recall there were only two settings on the PS2 4:3 & 16:9, I can check again after I get home. As for the double enhancement, that is exactly what is happening. I can get a widescreen picture in the 4:3 (not anamorphic) (selecting the widescreen popup...

Micheal, I greatly appreciate your patience with me on this topic.

I went home and there was in fact a setting for 16:9 in the playstation setup. I selected this option. I then put in Gladiatior (2.35:1) and of course had a some black bars even with the PS2 in the 16:9 setting. Everything seemed to be correct with the tv set in 4:3 mode. If i put the tv into...

Jack and Michael, Thank you for your prompt responses. The sets mode selections go something like 4:3 / zoom1 / zoom2 / theater1 / theater2 / anamorphic (I dont have the instruction manual, so i'm at a loss as to the specific meaning of each of these). "Does your set recognize...

I'm using a 60" philips HDready tv for viewing. The television is about 2 years old and is of 4:3 aspect ratio. Recently I was playing GT3 on my PS2. I opted for the 16:9 view setting under the game's settings. of course this picture was incorrect, and much of the image was cut off on the...

Hello, My playstation 2 has no problem playing cd's or games. But almost all movie i put in ends up coming up with a "disk read error". Any suggestions? might it just be a dirty lens? if it was the lens, then i wouldn't understand why the games and cd's work just fine. thanks in...

Hello, I've been reading the forums for a few weeks now and am very impressed by the amounts of knowledge available in this communnity. I recently purchased the last key component to my home theater, a 60" phillips hdtv. I bought the tv for used, and very very cheap. However, there is a...
