I have been there. Its funny the disk played in a Yammy that couldn't play dvd-a but would not play in Pioneer 563a, though it played in the 363 and it's not compatible with dvd-a either. I wonder if there is a connection with dvd-a and dvd mp3s? My goal is to find a dvd-a player that...

I know for the cdr you would need to probably convert it to svcd or vcd. I just can't figure out why it doesn't see mp3s on dvd-r, it reads cdrs with mp3s?

Just wondered if dvd players that state they play dvd-r will play mp3s burned to dvd-r. I just picked up the panny s55 and it doesn't read the disks. I may have been naive to think this was possible but thought it was. Could someone clarify this for me. I figured it could hold and play way...

I like this thread. I will do more research and post what I find. The other thing is I am Canadian so it'll be interesting to see what you can get for 2grand CA vs US.

I should know how to do this but can't figure it out? With hockey,golf and other things I need to get this going. I have Hitachi 36" with input a and b also using digital cable box. My question is how to split the cable for the outputs? Thanks for any help. Go Leafs

Hi Paul Yes one beep is normal, it is rather odd though that you can't boot to the cd rom, what message do you get when you try this? If you get to dos prompt in safe mode you could try to run set up from your cd drive but if I remember correctly xp won't run in dos mode but worth a shot.

Hi Paul Sorry to hear about your grief. Lets start with the pc. Obviously it is posting as you get to the safe mode option. Are you hearing any beeps when it boots? Usually with a video card that isn't seated properly you won't get it to post and you will hear beeps. Can you...

Just to give an update. Went to home depot today picked up 3x40ft rg59, some twist on f-connectors, had rca adapters and now have component video cables. Still running s-video from digital cable box until they either upgrade box to component or I switch to HD. Thanks for the replies...

The infocus is 800x600. I am using Panny rv31 and digital cable box. The rv31 is non progressive but has the Faroudja chip and so does the x1. Hope this answers you questions?

We have a surplus store in my area and they sell a product called legend premium series. The box states: High Grade video cable, OFC material and gold plated. I know they aren't the best but for 12ft/20 bucks I thought I would give it a shot. Couldn't find much about them on the net...

Thanks for the replies. I picked up the other 12ft and didn't noticed any ghosting, although I'm going from s-video to component so I did see an improvement. I then realized if I was to mount the projector the cable still won't be long enough. So now my thinking is to return this...

Does anyone see a real problem with joining 2 12ft component cables or will it degrade the signal significantly.

I hope you can continue on as this is informative and a very interesting thread. Chris W I won't tell you what kind of FP I have- LOL Sorry I am sorta new to this so not much to add.

Jeff M Agreed things can get a little picky over at AVS. I just need to remember, pull the screen down, turn on the x1 and enjoy the movie. It is nice to see people enjoying FP at an affordable cost. Enjoy the show.

Hey I have almost the exact same layout, screen in front of tv. I currently have a 60x60 but am looking at 60x80 just wondered how easy it was for the masking. The da-lite will come with some masking borders but probably not wide enough. Any suggestion?
