With that being said, is it really worth my while to have a bluray player right now? I am sure I am getting 720p now which is better than what I was getting through a regular dvd (progressive scan) player, right? I have watched a few movies and I do see some difference. I am really glad I didn't...

I have a Yamaha Lpx-500 projector that is over 4 years old. It does not have a hdmi input but it does have component and dvi inputs. The projector states it can accept a 1080p signal through RGB only. In today's hdmi world does that translate into...1. I am screwed with this projector to receive...

I know that (right now) I will not be able to record hd signals. But, could I hook the sony hd200 receiver to a tivo box and at least see recordings in analog (god forbid). As much as I hate the quality of my old ultimate tv directv receiver....I am having trouble getting comfortable with not...

I am looking at getting the sony hd200 hd receiver. I understand that it has a dvi connection as does my yamaha lpx-500 projector. My question is will the dvi serve as an all purpose video connector (for hd and non-hd signals) or will I have to have component video hooked from the hd receiver as...

Thanks for all of your feedback everyone. I will definately have some great ideas if I am not happy with the rx-z1 remote! Marty.

Thanks for your input everyone. I believe tomorrow will be the day I take home the big box..........now all I need is 5 (maybe 6 or 7 actually) boxes to arrive from Sean to put that puppy to work. Chris, I can relate to your comment on never having a flagship before. I figure if I have this...

Thanks Adam! Like you I was only looking at the 3300 and tried not to be romanced by the z1 because of the price. However I want to make every effort to do everything now (I have this financial window with my wife that could close at anytime..:) and have as many inputs/outputs as possible...

One thing I have heard is that the Yamaha remotes are not the best. If I find that to be the case with my purchase...what would be the best universal remote to buy? I will have a yamaha projector too so it would be great to cover that as well. Thanks, Marty

thanks for the feedback! Any others out there that had trouble with the z1. Any others that have the 2300 or 3300 that have good or bad things to say? Thanks, mc.

Any good news on the rx-z1?

Anyone have any comments on the Yamaha s2300...I have done some research and it appears to be the best multi function unit out there. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks, Marty

I am close to buying the Yammy z1 and would appreciate any feedback from anyone out there. I also am looking to buy the Yamaha dvd s2300 player. I have done some research and this looks like the best multi function unit. Thanks for your help. Marty

I am looking at the Pioneer Elite Dv-47ai. Anyone have any feedback on that unit or have a recommendation to go in a different direction? Thanks, Marty.

Thanks Bill. I did get the manual but there is a separate set up guide that is in Japan. I have seen similar questions from folks with plasma screens with no cable in....is this the same situation? If I hook my satelite cable into my satelite receiver (this is a non-hd receiver because for...

I apologize if this is a stupid question but I just received my yamaha lpx-500 projector from Japan and some of the set up is in Japanese and I need help. One of the things I noticed was that there is not a hook up for a regular cable or satellite connection (you know the old prehistoric ant...
