Hi, Unlike some, I did not get burned in the dvd-a/sacd format war. As a matter of fact it gave me an opportunity to introduce myself to genres of music that not only had I not embraced, I couldn't even opportunity. I found out things like there's even a book dedicated to John Coltrane's Jazz...

Hi, It's possibly not your audio processor that doesnt have the "Audio Goods" its the player and software. I've been using a video scaler for the last 4 years and have been quite pleased so my excitement for HD-DVD has been the new audio. If you have a processor with 8ch analog ins', then...

Hi, Thanks for the reviews, I look forward to your thoughts on film transferrs that come from deeper in the vault. I've been using an outboard scaler on a fully ISF'd (Michael TLV) CRT RPTV for about 4 yrs now and have often A/B'd a scaled dvd with the HD cable broadcast of the same film...

Hi, Is your Anthem sold? [email protected]

Hi, One of this months slew of A/V Mags has a round table discussion which took place on the yearly HT Cruise. People like Joe Kane "Digital Video Essentials" anwers questions comparing flag and motion basded de-interlacing amoung other things. It's pretty informative. Peter M.

Hi, Your InFocus deserves an ISF calibration before you try and make 480p look like 1080i or 720p. I'm begging you, look at it as an investment not an expenditure. You're at the one yard line. Have whatever equipment you will be using available at time of calibration, ie HD cable/sat...

Hi I don't mean to dump on your HTIB but rather than invest any more money into it you might want to visit a site like audiogon or in Canada canuckaudiomart or audioeden and find a previously enjoyed 7.1 receiver with a set of 8ch analog inputs. That way from an audio format side you'll...

Hi, In the event that getting a pair of rear surronds is not in the budget yet, and since the rear channels are 6 and 7 respectivly I would suggest that if you can get your hands on one speaker (a center channel would do nicely) you can experience the full benefits of the only true 6 channel...

Hi Jay, My feeling (due to the excellent size of your HT)and having helped others with similar issues is than rather than creating higher SPL's in the room, your goal might be more fullness at comfortable SPLs. My HT is in a Condo Master Bedroom and is only 10'W X 15'D with a double door...

Hi Peter, You mention that your finishing off your HT so I'm going to assume that your present speakers were mostly for music. When it comes to HT you will hear the phrase timbre matching, particularly as it pertains to the front three speakers. This means (in your case) finding a mission...

Hi, If you want to get rid of switching to DTS on the fly I think you would be better to do it through the setup of the player itself. Let me explain. When you have a disc in the player and you press setup, the player thinks you want to set up the disc. My first player (which only had s/vid...

Hi, I have an upgraded Denon 5800 which someone showed an interest in purchasing. His concern was that DPL IIx was not included only DPL II. I have a 7.1 setup and am still waiting patiently for discrete software to catch up to the hardware we already have. I called Denon who offerred it as...

Hi, I'm sorry, but what you just said is seemingly vuage but actually meaningless. Peter M.

Hi, To scale my DVDs I use an SDI modified Panny rp82 and the HOLO3D PCI card vid scaler from Immersive. I scale to 1080i on my Tosh 65H80. If you have visited the HT section of www.keohi.com site and read comments that ISF'r Michael TLV made last summer about A/Bing the LG player, (Zenith's...

Hi, Tommy_E,which B&O old speakers,(out of curiosity). I had S45's I think, bought with the 4000 processor. Anyway it had a teak or rosewood finish and 8 FM presets. I bought them in Toronto in 79. The woofer went on one of them and a guy in England wanted to buy the other woofer last...
