I know what V compression is, but I want to know if you have an analog sony 32 inch tv that has the feature and Im watching a widesreen movie and I turn the V compression on, does it fill the whole screen or add lines of resolution into the widescreen image? Maybe I have it all wrong but...

While shopping for a TV, I thought it would be a plus to get a TV that has a vertical resolution of 1080. But I was told that it isn't worth it for the future because the scaler in the TV can't handle being fed a true 1080p resolution. So I asked him what the Tv does with a 720p signal. He said...

Yes Jack, I have decided on the 34XS, it just has a beautiful picture. I thought it was better than the PLasma XS!

Thanks Jim. That was pretty informative

I had someone ask me the other day if they use a 5-way splitter for example, and they only use 4 outs, that you need to cover the coax out jack that is not being used or it won't work. I don't use splitters, so I wouldn't know. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything like this.

Your questions are confusing but, I'll try to answer. 1080i and 720p are your HD broadcasts. 1080i techically is better, but 720p looks much better on fast moving images like sports or movies. 540p? Not sure if there is such a thing. You want to pick either one between 720p and 1080i. Your HD...

Hey guys, I am going to apologize in advance in case this isn't the appropriate forum for this thread. Ok, if you have a 36 inch sony HD TV, standard 4:3 ratio and you are watching an HD program. So it comes in widescreen, and you get the letter box on the top and bottom. Does that mean you...

I have two floor standing onkyo speakers and i set them to stereo sound obviously, but if i bought a center channel speaker, can i get the vocals out of it without having two surrounds. So i will be using three speakers. Obviously i cant get dolby digital. Will the sounds be misplaced?

Hey guys, I know I have asked a couple questions about DVI, but I have one more. OK, I bought the samsung Directv receiver because i got it for free and it has DVI output and my Tv has a HDMI input. The monster cable I want to get is DVI-D, which according to you guys does not carry analog...

I'm not sure what size your looking for but check out the Samsung DLP's. 50 inch is around 2250 and the 46 is around 2000. Great Tv's. IN case your interested

Fr. John, I have heard many complaints about the incredibles screwing up people's DVD players. I work at Best Buy and I keep hearing it from everyone, even on this forum. Try cleaning it if you don't want to buy a new player. If you do want to buy a new player, consider an upconversion DVD...

Hey guys, probably a dumb question, but about five years ago I bought a nice Polk system from circuit city with a top of the line Sony Receiver. Now when I bought it the guy told me to not use channel A and B at the same time because it can damage the receiver. I didn't believe him so I did it...

Just wondering if in order to get 720p or 1080i with an upconversion DVD player, you will need DVI or component. I heard some only require component. Just wondering what you all have heard. Thanks.

Hey guys, I don't have a Digital Television, but I do have a great picture on my Sony Flat Screen. All of my DVD's look great, except Collateral. It looks very grainy and I can't seem to figure out why. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

I heard that you cannot get Picture in Picture with satelite. I always thought it was the dumbest feature, but some people are obsessed with it and won't but a tv without PIP. What's involved in it. I am pretty Home Theater Savy, but I never bothered to ever try it. If you could enlighten me, I...

Well, if it's the model I'm thinking of, it can't do RW, which is a drawback, but it has DVD-RAM, which is a dual sided disc that writes at random spots and whatever speed you should choose. Panasonic says you can record up to 16 hours. Panasonic was rated number 1 in DVD recorders not too long...

Well your problem doesn't sound too complex, you have probably thought of this but I would take the negative terminal o ring into a local hardware store and see if they can match it, if not ask them if they know of anywhere.

Ok, as far as I know in order to get SACD you need to use 5 separate analog channels, firewire, or HDMI according to a book I have read. I was at Best Buy and on one of the Sony recievers, one of the optical in's was labeled SACD. Does anyone know why this is? I think it was the STRDE697

I was wondering if anyone would give me a crash course on Dolby ProLogic IIx. I would like to know what you need, besides the receiver that decodes it of course, what it does, and if you can get away with only two stereo receivers. Thanks

Hmm, that's a lot, there is a JVC with memeory card digital camera inputs, DTS, progressive scan, all CD's and DVD's, Divx, probably not multi region and I don't think any DVD player does MPEG 4 yet. You can find this model at best buy for $99.99.

The only thing being used is coax in. That's it.

OK, it should work the way you described it, but to watch satelite, you will need to turn the DVD recorder on. S-Video will give you the best picture with a standard satelite box. Make sure that the S-Video on your DVD recorder is an S-video (In) instead of an (Out). You will know this if you...

No nothing is. I have one Composite and one S-Video. The only other thing is coaxial cable for my satelite.

I have an old 1991 RCA 31 inch tube TV and the S-video works fine except it's in black and white. I bought 2 new TV's and would like to be able to save my money instead of buying a new one. Any idea at all? Yes, I tried numerous cables that definately work on my other TV's.

Panasonic TH-50PX25U/P is what I reccomend, I don't like the lack of features on the model you posted.

Gene is right you won't notice too much plus FYI 20khz is considered supersonic, which the human ear is unable to pick up the frequency.

Use the LG upconversion 1080i DVD with built in tuner. You can generate 1080i with only component video cables. You can find it at Best Buy for unfortunately 399.99

Alright, I work at Best Buy and I recently noticed that there is a difference between Acoustic Research and Monster Cable. Acoustic Research has maore prongs. Mow I know that there is DVI-D and DVI-I. Digital and Integrated. Does this mean that DVI-I can take analog and Digital Hi Def signals?
