First off, while I have been a member for some time I don’t post a lot, but do read a lot. Also to provide a background and changes this might be a long read. So sorry in advance. Late last year I purchased a 47” Vizio Model # E470VL for a bedroom that we turned into a small home theater / TV room. The other components used were a Sony Blue Ray DVD player Model # BDP-S270, HT Receiver was a Sony Model # STR-DH800, Sony VHS Model # SLV-N71 and Motorola Cable Box Model # DCX3400 from Time Warner. While probably not the best setup I did enjoy the picture and enjoyed it. Well just prior to Christmas I decided to go to 3D so I replace the Vizio Model # E470VL with a 47” Vizio Model # XVT3D474SV 3D TV and Sony Blue Ray DVD player Model # BDP-S270 with a Vizio Model # VBR133 3D Blue Ray DVD Player. Picture is even better. I also purchase 2 2-pack 3D glasses to use when viewing 3D. Well the problem is I talked to someone that wasn’t as knowledgeable as I thought they were. As of now haven’t been able to watch 3D. The reason is pretty simple and I think I can resolve it relatively easy. But, and I am not looking for any sympathy or anything, but I am a terminal cancer patient going through maintenance treatment and after Christmas I start back with my treatment and that has kept me from contacting tech support and working through my problems. So yesterday I called Vizio tech support and have to tell you they were the best tech support I have ever dealt with. The lady I ended up talking with went through my setup identified that I had been told the wrong glasses for my TV. Seems I need active glasses instead of inactive ones. Hopefully that will allow me to view 3D in the future. The other problem I have I really didn’t go into with her, but when trying to just setup 3D to watch the TV didn’t detect that I was running a 3D DVD player. At that point I had every going into the HT receiver and then out to the TV. Well it seems like since my receiver isn’t capable pushing through the 3D signal is the problem. So my plan (cheap one) is to replace the Sony HT receiver is to replace it with Sony - 700W 7.1-Ch. 3D Pass-Through A/V Home Theater Receiver that will provide me with the pass-through capability I need. I am also planning to get 2 sets of Full HD 3D Rechargeable Glasses – 2 Pack Model # VSG102 for watching the 3D DVDs and available on On Demand. The receiver I am replacing will be installed in the Living Room where I put the first 47” Vizio Model # E470VL and Sony Blue Ray DVD player Model # BDP-S270 then purchase a set of 5 in expensive speakers to hookup a surround system. Again sorry for this being so long, but would appreciate any and all input about any of this. Thanks Chuck
