You can get the disc out by using a bent paper clip. If you manually open the player tray door there is a small hole near the disc opening so pushing the paper clip into that hole will open the door. Try the player directly to your HDTV and if it's still stuck on the welcome screen then my guess...

Just a guess but it could be the player is set to film and the DVD you're viewing was shot in video or the other way around.

Try this in the players setup under maintenance "Initialize" the player then turn it off and back on.

Try unplugging the player for a shot period of time them power it back on. This will re-boot the player. If it's still not getting a picture then I guess you got a bad one.

Denon (D&M Holdings Inc.) is a member of the HD DVD promotion group http://www.hddvdprg.com/eng/about/member.html . They may also be a member of the BD camp but I don't really know about that. :) It would be big news if they have in fact started work on a HD DVD player.

I believe the player converts the audio to 1.5mbps dts and outputs this via toslink regardless if it's a HD DVD or standard DVD title. Some older receivers and many older Sony A/V receivers simply can't do that data rate.

I was at Target today to see if they had any new HD DVD titles and of course they didn't. Anyway I happen to notice this store had six PS3's so I commented to the manager of that department "I'm surprised you have any PS3's to sell" and his replay was "yeah we can't get rid of them and I have...

Also LiteOn and one other major Chinese CE will be making HD DVD players. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=783194

The player will actually output 1080p/24 or 1080p/60 which will be selectable.

This will do what you want http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search I use this myself to transmit a satellite box to a back bedroom 75 feet away through three walls and it works just great. It will work with any video device that has a composite video out and stereo audio out which...

I had problems with this disc on my HD-XA1 however it plays fine on the new HD-A2.

From posts over at the AVS forum there is a way to get Finding nemo to play. Un-plug the player for a few minutes then power it back on and put in any standard DVD other than Nemo. Let it play for a few minutes and eject the disc then put in any HD DVD disc and do the same. After all that Nemo...

http://www.projectorcentral.com/blu-ray_2.htm "At this point we should address what can only be characterized as a hoax—the notion that Blu-ray must be technically superior to HD-DVD because the Samsung player outputs 1080p, whereas the Toshiba player is "only 1080i." One high-end home...

Trust me I use the receiver every night and have five HDMI devices going to the HDMI input via a switch.

Actually a receiver with HDMI input/output works just fine for the new formats since all the decoding is done in the player. I use this receiver http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search

The only time I have problems with disc playback it's always a combo disc.

So you feel the CEO of Time Warner doesn't really have an inside view of the situation?

"Playstation 3 not helping Blu-ray?" That's what this article says. http://www.dvdtown.com/news/playstat...ingbluray/4206 And then we have the Time Warner CEO saying "PS3 will not have big impact on video format war" http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/fn/4381211.html

My copy will arrive this Monday. I ordered it and the 1976 version of King Kong from here http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/products_new.php

Robert does that VP50 have the SDI option? Also what about a VP50 + HD-XA2 deal? Thanks............

When you press pause on the Toshiba you will see the time elapsed on the screen and if you look at the players display screen there you will see the time remaining.

There are no QC seals on the player that I know of. Just make sure to un-plug the player before taking the cover off. :)

I don't recall seeing this error from any A1 owners. I would at least take the cover off aand re-seat the 1GB memory chip and check all the internal ribbon cables for proper connection including the IDE cable going to the NEC HD DVD drive.

Check the hdmi cable connections as many have had problems with the poor hdmi connectors. Also update the player to the latest version 2.0. Also turn the display on first.

Right now there are 112 HD DVD titles available and 84 BD titles. http://www.thedvdwars.com/index.cfm The soon to be released Toahiba HD-A2 player will be much faster boot and loading times so you may want to look into that. http://www.valueelectronics.com/Toshiba_HD-A2.htm BD in number of...

It's also a dual layer 50GB BD disc. 2/5 for video yuck,PS3 buyers may never buy a BD disc after getting a look at this bomb.

Thats not a bug almost all of the Universal titles have the built in screensaver on the HD DVD disc.

This is the switcher I use http://www.octavainc.com/HDMI%20switch%203port.htm For the best price here is a five port hdmi switcher for a mere $122.73 http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...d=10110&style=

The HD-A2 will have faster loading/boot times and is a bit sleeker looking device. I suspect the build quality of the A1 is going to to better than the A2 but thats just a guess. Also since the A2 will have a faster drive I bet it's less prone to picture skipping/studder than the A1 is (not that...
