Might I suggest taking a look at this DVD player from Oppo Digital? Check out the DVD player benchmark on the Secrets of Home Theater and HiFi website. This little player topped out at a 94 which was second only to the Denon 5910. I am going to be putting some serious thought to this...

That makes sense. I got to thinking about my display last night and the fact that it has to upscale any signal to 1280 x 720. That was a brain fart on my part. I wonder how much difference a scaler like the DVDO iScan-HD+ would really make. I bet the signal from that device looks good, but I...

John, Um... I'm not sure I understand your tone. If indeed you are responding sarcastically, there is no need. I am merely suggesting that he may have to consider extra equipment to make use of that feature. If Mits has built in capability to scale incoming signals, then great! No need for...

To me it seems that the 1080p displays are only good if you have a source that can take advantage of it. If you are set on 1080p then you may want to consider a scaler that is capable of producing a 1080p signal. I have a Mits WD-52525 and I absolutely love it. I have never been more pleased...

I am building a new theater room and I plan to use the BenQ PE7700 (unless someone can advise me otherwise :)). The room will be 14 x 16 and the screen will be one of the short walls at the end of the room. This gives me 16 feet of area with which to mount the projector. I am curious as to...

Thanks for the tip.

Can anyone suggest a good way to market this HDTV to people in just my area? Thanks, Tony

This HDTV ready (DVI) RPTV is only 2 years old and in perfect condition. It has never been moved. It was delivered to my home and placed in it's current position and has never been moved. It works great! Great picture and great sound. It is currently calibrated using an Avia DVD. The picture...

Thanks for the relpy! I will go check out audio advisor.

I really like the salamander stuff but it is so expensive. I would love to get something like that, but the wife is not excited about spending that much on it. Maybe I can convice her... Thanks very much for the reply!

I am looking for a nice furniture grade stand for a 52" DLP. My problem is that I need to be able to put my center channel inside the cabinet and it is rather large (Swan C3BC). Does anyone have any suggestions for something that is more on the classic style side? My wife is very picky and I...

Johnny, Thanks for the reply! I had the same thought. I went into my DVD players settings and checked over everything. It all seems to be in order. I'm just really picky about this stuff. I would expect a receiver in this class to not have issues like this one. Everything seems to be...

Unfortunately the reset only sets the recevier back to the factory setting for the latest firmware installed. Reseting the receiver is actually part of the firmware upgrade process. I did some A/B testing with 2 different recordings of the same song. One in HDCD and the other not. There was...

I agree that it is a dumb glitch. They should have found that in testing the firmware. I bet HDCD is working properly. I will A/B test it tomorrow to find out for sure. Tony

I contacted customer service for H/K. They said that the issue is possibly realted to the recent software upgrade that I installed on the receiver. Apparently they had noticed issues with other people calling in with similar problems. They said that the HDCD processing is still working...

It definitely sounded to me like the HDCD logo should be displayed at all times. I'll try giving them a call. Thanks for all of your suggestions. Much appreciated! Tony

Your buddy wouldn't be Charlie would he? I have been in contact with a guy named Charlie on their website via a tech support chat utility. Tony

The Pioneer doesn't decode HDCD. Shouldn't be any conflicts there. So you were able to get the HDCD logo to display permanently in the bottom display line while playing an HDCD? I tested a CD last night and it flashed HDCD very breifly, but then went back to "Surround Off". You...

Actually I have not as I do hot have the player connected with analog cables. (The DACs aren't all that great in the player) I could try that though. Even with no analog cable connected, I should be able to switch from analog to digital. Do you happen to have a H/K AVR 630? If so, when...

Does anyone out there use HDCD with their H/K receivers? (Specifically the AVR 630) Thanks. Tony

I am having trouble getting HDCD to work on my AVR630. I have the "Surround Off' mode selected as suggested by the owners manual. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Anyone else have this trouble? I am using a Pioneer dvd-563a dvd player using a toslink cable to the receiver. The CD...

Sorry I misread a little before. The Kappa 200s are $201.00 USD each. I believe the floorstander prices are for pairs. Sorry for the mixup. Tony

You might be interested to know that www.onecall.com is clearing out their Kappas. The Kappa 200 mains are $201.00 USD. (Bookshelf size) I think the kappa 400 mains are $699.99 USD and the Kappa 600 mains are $999.95 USD. THese are both floor standers. Not quite sure what you would be...

This may be something you may be interested in. $125 approx. and it seems that people have had good success with them. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...number=300-632 Tony

Kevin, My point is I always look at the "What If" scenario. I look at it as if I knew I would want to be able to listen louder in the future or sometime when you know you won't be bothering anyone, then I would want a sub that could do a little more. The way I see it is if you spend just...

What is your budget? Tony

I would recommend the SVS pb10-isd. Even though you don't want ear shattering bass, you should still think about the future. You don't have to turn the sub up if you don't want to, but in my opinion, it would sure be nice to have that ability if need be. Especially when it can be had in an SVS...

Exactly the question I was waiting for! I want to know what we're looking at for price. I have to start planning if I want to even think about purchasing a set of these speakers. I am skilled in convincing the wife, but it takes work. This one will take a lot of work. (kind of like the big...

I have a 2 year old Sony KP-51WS500. I am curious as to how much I could expect to be able to sell it for. Has anyone sold any of these or something comparable?

You may want to try another cable. I have read a number of posts where the problem was a faulty cable. Just another possibility. Good luck man. Tony
