Which DVD player would give the Panny PT-50DL54 DLP the best PQ thru HDMI? (only up to $1000) Any panny DLP users out there? I'm leaning towards the Panny S97 or S77(when it comes out) despite the MB issues with the 2310 chip.
Is it worth upgrading to the Denon 2910 or Panny S97 with a 61" RP? These players are from different dollar points but I would upgrade my 1600 for better PQ thru component. Any suggestions?
2 Questions: 1) Can anyone explain what dual layer discs means? (Just recently purchased the Mulan SE DVD) 2) Are dual layer discs more prone to disc pausing when viewed, and if so how?
When calibrating my HT, do I have to calibrate my DVD player settings (ie. distance and loudness) if my AV receiver is already calibrated for distance and speaker loudness?? I do not have the aide of a SPL meter.
I was once told that you could use component cables to run audio for DVD-A. Is this correct? Would the cables in a composite connection also work (ie. Right/Left audio cables with Red/White distinction and then a video cable with Yellow RCA jacket distinction?
If a cable company does not advertise on the packaging that a cable is 100% O2 free, should I assume it is? Should I buy O2 free cables as opposed to non-100% O2 free audio cabling? I'm asking b/c I was at my local Home Depot and they sell RCA audio/video cables. I'm interested in purchasing the...
I haven't demo'd the Veritas line but I've currently got the C9's with a Marantz 8200 receiver powering them. The sound I receive is very warm, and I am able to drive the speakers very loud without distorting them. I've demo'd the C7's and C9's with a Denon 2802 and Yamaha 1400, but IMO found...
Just returned my Denon DVD-900 for the last DVD-1600 model(demo) to my dealer! The upgrade cost me only $57 CDN, and I was still given the remainder of the warranty from my 900 which lasts 3 more yrs!! I'm really excited to put this player to the test!! However, my 1600 did not come with a box...
"UNDERWORLD"--any part of the movie is a real work out for any 5.1 system; my subs ran 'hot' for most of the movie, especially scenes with transforming lychans!
I know it's after the fact but I thought I'd reply anyway. I also have Energy products, 2 S10.2's and one of them just died one day. The blue indicator light was out and there was no output. However, after fiddling with it, I found the culprit to be the sub input level connector. It was loose on...
To add further to my first thread, my sub 2 cable runs about 45ft. from sub 1. Sub 2 sound perfectly fine for me, but I'm curious to know if I am losing any signal this way, or otherwise. BTW, I'm using 2 25ft. Monster THX Ultra series sub cables and don't really want to spend the 'dosh' for...
Is it ok to use one end of car audio RCA cable for my HT subwoofer hookup? I'm currently running 2 subwoofers in my HT. From my receiver I have one sub cable going to sub 1, then Y-split from there to another sub cable, then connected to a female end-to-end connector, then attached to one end of...
I'm currently using a Denon DVD 900 wired thru component cable to my RPTV. I have recently noticed that subtitles would sometimes 'pop up' when watching DVD movies; (I have not noticed this problem with my musical DVDs). This happens every time I watch a DVD movie and not just certain movies...
Do you have the Y cable hooked to the receiver or the 'first' sub? Do you also have the subs firing at each other? Try placing the Y cable in the input of the first sub and then run your sub cable towards your 2nd sub. Also, try switching the phase of the subs so that they are opposite. If not...
Thanks for all your input. JOHN G., you say you have the 2200. I just skimmed the 'DVD shootout review' and the 2900 failed the Chroma, 3-2 Alt. Flags and the chroma, 4:2:0 ICP Sync subtitle to frames test. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the 2200 (to some extent) have the same internals as...
PLS. help.I have been debating between these two players and have not gotten an answer. I have the Hitachi 61UWX10BA HD RPTV and wanted better picture quality than with my current Denon DVD 900. I'm using a component feed and would like any suggestions on which player will give me the best picture??
Thanks so much for your input, I appreciate it. Would I be able to add resolution to my TV with an external video processor? (I'm not exactly sure how this works and where I would connect this to). If this is not an option, then will the Denon 2200 give me better video quality than the 1600 with...
If my Denon DVD 900 is giving me only 480p or 480i at best on my Hitachi monitor, then would upgrading to any of the said DVD players give me better picture than what I already am seeing with my component hookup? Pls help as I am still willing to purchase any of the 3 players even though I do...
Also, what do you think about the Marantz DV8300? I'd like to know how the video quality is when compared to the Denon 2900 or Marantz DV8400. I'm asking because I can purchase it at my local store for a much lower cost. I want the best possible picture from these 3 choices because I would like...
Thanks for your reply. I'm not quite sure what video scaling is, but just to let you know my Hitachi does not support a DVI cable. What is video scaling? My best hookup would be component video. Also my TV display can switch between 1080i or 540p; although there is not a difference from what I...
I currently have the Denon DVD-900 with a Faroudja de-interlacer chip. I've been looking to upgrade into a universal player and am looking at the Denon 2900. I'd like to know based on video performance alone, will I get a much better picture than I currently have? My monitor is a 61" HD RPTV...
I have the SR8200 and is connected to my DVD via TOSLINK and it also drops out during the beginning of movies or when RW/FF. Don't notice it with CDs though.
Just purchased a pair of C9's for my HT. I'm currently using the CC1 center and CR3 dipole surrounds. The C9s will give you a very warm soundstage without being overly bright as compared to the 3-way C7s. They will also provide you with ample midbass than the C7s, however the C9s are set to...
