Since this thread is dealing with the same issues and exact same reponses as the last Zenith thread, I am going to merge this thread with that one.
Also, the following is a warning that I had to post in another thread, but the same deal applies here too. Let's keep this thread on track and open...
Quote:
Let us please stick to the facts only in this thread. All arguments in this thread WILL lead to immediate and permanent dismissals from the HTF. I have seen too many such arguments in these type of threads and just for once, I would like this one to stay clean without having to be locked. If you enjoy your other non-upconverting players that is fine. If you also enjoy your upconverting player, then that is fine too. If your intent is to find ways to trash one or the other that is not based on direct comparisons done by oneself AND/OR your posts are argumentative, then I will personally remove your posting privelages.
I don't think I can make it more clear than that.
If I appear heavy handed then forgive me but believe me, this is for the greater good.

Zenith DVB318 Hook-up quetsion
I just got in the Zenith DVB318, and usually I hook the dvd player up thru the component inputs on my reciever (onkyo TX-SR600). So i'm doing that here and running component lines into the 47" Panny.
Should I connect directly to the TV from the DVD Player, or is it OK to run through the Reciever?
I was switching between the 480p and 1080i on the dvd player and couldn't really notice a difference.

I am a kind of person that likes to avoid middleman whenever possible. You should be able to enjoy it either way, but for the sake of covering all bases, make sure you have that upconverted to 1080i, pick a movie that's pretty new, anamorphic, real nice, etc. and test that both ways.
You should see a darned nice picture.

It may be a pain to switch audio on the receiver and video on the TV, but I'd go straight to the TV. Less cables and less chance of degrading the picture.
If the best advice is "listen for yourself", then why offer your opinion?

And with that, count me as a disappointed buyer sadly. Wasn't expecting miracles with it, but it couldn't even match the pic quality of my Denon 1600 on my 51" RPTV. Both were calibrated, compared various recommended movies, tried DVI and component, etc, etc. Worth the money, yes, but not a giant killer. Those who have it, enjoy, as well as the gentleman I sold it to.
