After receiving your replies, I drafted a nicely worded letter the the affiliate's Chief Engineer. I also copied the Station Manager. If I don't receive a response I'll send a letter to the VP. While looking up their contact information, I found another affiliate's "Engineering Q&A" page...

I'm sorry if this has been addressed before, or if this is the wrong forum for this question... In my defense searched the archives and didn't find anything in a quick thread name scan. Has anyone else had a problem with the sound cutting out for the last second or so before ABC HD...

To expound upon Scott's answer, the 75 ohm cables are usually video cables (or "yellow"). So, if you have three matching RCA sets with three video cables it will work. As with anytime you try to save money, it could be better.

I am amazed by the gall of CTHE in stating that the DVDs contain "all of the great music" (or something to that effect) in the preview. I don't mind many of the changes. In fact, Seasons 3-6 contained some pretty terrible music the first time and may even benefit from the overhaul. The only...

I visited my friendly local mom and pop shop (otherwise known as Wal-Mart) the other day and noticed a sign next to their HDTV's that said, and I paraphrase: Now, I won't claim to be all that knowledgeable regarding this sort of thing, but it would seem to me that this is blatant false...

Your FP converts 480i to 480p?

...or the manufacturers are smart enough to have a laywer on staff.

The real culprit here is my reciever's memory. It defaults to different setting for each type of input. I like this in some ways, but its a pain in the butt most of the times. For instance, when watching TV, the reciever had the right speakers on, but when switching to DVD (w/ EXT. IN) it went...

UPDATE I spent almost an hour last night playing with settings, connection, etc and found the problem. As usual, the answer was far more simple (and embarassing... :b) than I had expected. At some point, my reciever had switched to the "B Speakers", unbeknownst to me. I was getting the LFE...

It should play SACDs... It has the logo on the player (and the remote, for that matter). I'll keep searching, but I haven't been able to find anything thus far... I would be less confused (though no less frustrated) if no sound was coming through the speakers, but the LFE "action" is really strange.

I just picked up my first SACD (Michael Jackson's Thriller) and I have an interesting problem. My player (Denon 2200) and Reciever (Denon 2803) work perfectly well for DVD-Audio with the analog hookups & "Ext. In". I popped my new SACD in last night and got... nothing. Well, not nothing, I get...

(Tried to resist, but couldn't...) Dude... :D

My soon-to-be father in law is looking at displays for his new house. He is absolutely in love with DLP. I've personally been looking at LCD RPTVs for a few months and I've been discussing them with him as well. I'm not trying to push him in any direction, but I've been warning him about the...
