Ken: Thank you so much for the link. These settings really made all the difference! I did pooch color up to 50 and set the iris to low, but otherwise everything else looks great!

I guess I could try to reload it, but it didn't work on either v1.5 or v2.0. The JKP website claims that it'll work with v1.5 of the A2, A20 and XA2 firmware.

Thanks, I'll use that as a starting point. I'm at a big disadvantage because the HD side of the DVE disc just will NOT boot up in the XA2. The thing that gets me the angriest is that JKP insists it does. I have seen at least one other XA2 owner that can't get it to work either.

I just got a 55" Sony KDS-55A2020 SXRD TV and I have been trying to calibrate its color. I also have the Toshiba XA2 HD-DVD player with the Digital Video Essentials disc. The HD side of the DVE disc does not want to boot up in the XA2 (even with the v2.0 firmware), so I tried to calibrate color...

Great info! Thanks, Steve.

I am looking at getting a new 1080p TV. I have listed my choices below. Can anyone offer me any opinions on which one is best? Also, I am looking for a set that can be effectively calibrated with just the Digital Video Essentials HD-DVD (I'm also upgrading to a Toshiba XA2). I had an ISF...

Yes, my receiver does indicate a multichannel PCM track coming in. The fact that the player's display says bitstream is what was throwing me.

Okay, so I got a new Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver with HDMI 1.3 inputs. I realize that the Toshiba A1 CANNOT pass 5.1 Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Digital-Plus audio as raw bitrates from its HDMI 1.1 output. That's fine, the player can do the audio decoding. Now, here's the problem: I was under the...

I am looking to upgrade from my Tosh A1 to an XA2, mostly because the XA2 has HDMI 1.3 and 1080p. Is the XA2 as godawfully glitchy as the A1 (w/ v2.0 firmware)? The A1 has been the absolute worst piece of electronics I have ever owned. It constantly freezes (and I have to unplug it and plug it...

Hey everyone! I would first like to thank everyone who has helped me over the last several days make some kind of sense out of all of the new HD technology. Home theater used to be a fun hobby for me back when I got my first DVD player almost 10 years ago to the day. Now it's just confusing...

How does it do with Uncompressed PCM 5.1 tracks? Any trouble playing those in full resolution?

One more question: Does the PS3 output the full resolution Uncompressed PCM 5.1 tracks via HDMI without problem? Okay, just so I know I got this straight, the PS3 is unable to recognize the full resolution DTS-HD MA signal and pass it through its HDMI output for external decoding. However...

I am so confused about all of the differing experiences people are having with the quality of playback offered by the PS3. I have a few straightforward questions that hopefully members with experience can answer. I have pre-ordered the new Onkyo TX-SR805 A/V receiver with HDMI 1.3 switching and...

Thanks, guys! These are excellent sources that I might not have found otherwise. If I need a cable I usually just go to Best Buy, but when I went shopping there the other day I just KNEW there had to be a more affordable way to buy these. I mean, HDMI is just a digital bitstream. The one...

I spoke with a Sony customer service guy and he told me that the PS3 can pass 5.1-channel DTS-HD from its HDMI output, but not 7.1.
