The HD box is connected via HDMI. In pass through mode, the cable box is sending 480i to the Sony via the HDMI cable. I assumed this is being upconverted to the TV's native resolution. Looked horrible on regular analog cable TV signals (like TBS, Sci-Fi, etc..) BUT, when I force the cable...

I just bought a new 50" Sony SXRD set to replace my aging 55" Mitsu CRT RP. Holy Crap, this thing looks amazing, but I do have a bit of a dilemma. I have a Sci Atl HD DVR box as my cable TV source connected via an HDMI cable. I initially had the cable box set up to pass through, so a 480i...

I'm having an issue all of a sudden with my 4 year old Mitsubishi 55" RPTV. All of a sudden, while watching TV this afternoon, the TV started to look like I was watching a 3-d movie. The red gun appeared to have shifted completely off. I tried the convergence menus and while I can move the...

Hi Folks, Seems like everyone seems to speak pretty highly of rhinocables, was going to go there to see what they had for component video cables, only, it seem their website must be down or something, because I can't get to their website. Try as I might, rhinocables.com can't be found... Is...

Hi folks, I searched through the threads and just got more confused, so I thought I'd post my own question. I'm connecting my birthday present from my wife, a Panasonic RP-56 DVD player to my Mitsubishi 55" widescreen HDTV upgradeable TV. The major reason for my asking for this, is to get...

John, What kind of MA500 info are you looking for? I *think* I still have the original owners manuals for mine. I could look them up and try to scan them or fax them to you. ...Jim

Jim Prillaman, Robert... I think I may have confused you guys. My monoblocks are plugged into the AMP portion of my Panamax. The Panamax is plugged into the wall outlet for power. The Panamax I have (1000?) also has a plug that is used as a sense line. So, I plug the Panamax sense plug...

I have a question for you guys that is making me a little nervous in my 950 preorder... In my current setup, I have my preamp connected to my panamax power strip, and the panamax plugged into the switched AC of the preamp. So, most of the time my 5 Marantz MA500 monoblocks are off, and when...

John Morris, My TV is a 55" Mitsu, 55809. Yes, non-anamorphic material is a bummer, but I don't have too much of it (plus there is the ZOOM mode in the TV if I have to deal with it). The 56 and 91 have different chipsets? I also don't need: built in DD and DTS decoders, I have an external...

I'm looking to replace my aging A110 Panasonic. It has served me well, and continues to, but I have a HD ready TV and would like to make the step to progressive scan. DVD-Audio, MP3, CDR/W, DVD-RAM, those things don't really interest me, but they seem to be standard on the high end players...

I have an AV600. I'll try to dig up the manual tonight and maybe I can fax portions of it to you if you have a fax number. The OSD doesn't work if you're connected to the TV with Svideo, only if you connect via composite, as I recall. You can't switch different types of sources. So, if you...

While I'm pleased that TV shows are being shot in widescreen format for future broadcast in Digital, I'm a little confused by what those of us with actual 16:9 TVs are supposed to do. The signal is clearly non-anamorphic, right? So it's not set up to be broadcast at full resolution in the 16:9...

It almost makes me with my A110 was that buggy. I've only ever had one problem on it, and with just one move, Toy Story 2. I've had some trouble with pixellation on various movies, but not consistantly, and certainly no locking up. Still, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to call...
