You can get the disc out by using a bent paper clip. If you manually open the player tray door there is a small hole near the disc opening so pushing the paper clip into that hole will open the door. Try the player directly to your HDTV and if it's still stuck on the welcome screen then my guess...

Just a guess but it could be the player is set to film and the DVD you're viewing was shot in video or the other way around.

Try this in the players setup under maintenance "Initialize" the player then turn it off and back on.

Try unplugging the player for a shot period of time them power it back on. This will re-boot the player. If it's still not getting a picture then I guess you got a bad one.

Denon (D&M Holdings Inc.) is a member of the HD DVD promotion group http://www.hddvdprg.com/eng/about/member.html . They may also be a member of the BD camp but I don't really know about that. :) It would be big news if they have in fact started work on a HD DVD player.

I believe the player converts the audio to 1.5mbps dts and outputs this via toslink regardless if it's a HD DVD or standard DVD title. Some older receivers and many older Sony A/V receivers simply can't do that data rate.

I was at Target today to see if they had any new HD DVD titles and of course they didn't. Anyway I happen to notice this store had six PS3's so I commented to the manager of that department "I'm surprised you have any PS3's to sell" and his replay was "yeah we can't get rid of them and I have...

Also LiteOn and one other major Chinese CE will be making HD DVD players. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=783194

The player will actually output 1080p/24 or 1080p/60 which will be selectable.

This will do what you want http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search I use this myself to transmit a satellite box to a back bedroom 75 feet away through three walls and it works just great. It will work with any video device that has a composite video out and stereo audio out which...

I had problems with this disc on my HD-XA1 however it plays fine on the new HD-A2.

From posts over at the AVS forum there is a way to get Finding nemo to play. Un-plug the player for a few minutes then power it back on and put in any standard DVD other than Nemo. Let it play for a few minutes and eject the disc then put in any HD DVD disc and do the same. After all that Nemo...

http://www.projectorcentral.com/blu-ray_2.htm "At this point we should address what can only be characterized as a hoax—the notion that Blu-ray must be technically superior to HD-DVD because the Samsung player outputs 1080p, whereas the Toshiba player is "only 1080i." One high-end home...

Trust me I use the receiver every night and have five HDMI devices going to the HDMI input via a switch.

Actually a receiver with HDMI input/output works just fine for the new formats since all the decoding is done in the player. I use this receiver http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search
