Hi, After reading other posts, I've determined that it is best to feed the scaler a normal 480i signal which is as clean as possible, so it needs to come out of the player's digital output. I found a list of such players which I'll include here: Pioneer Elite 79avi Pioneer Elite 59avi...

Hello, I am looking to find a DVD player with the following characteristics: 1) Output well suited for input to a DVDO® iScan™ VP50 scaler. 2) Well made so it lasts more than 1 year (should last closer to 5+ years) 3) Has good error-correction to seemlessly handle scratched disks from...

I've resolved this issue. I needed to change the receiver's settings, not the DVD player's. The receiver has different settings that are persistent for each input, hence the Dish worked fine by DVD didn't.

Hello, I was playing the Avia DVD and notice some strange problems running the digital output into my Pioneer Elite VX-45TX. What I observe is that sound is only coming out of the left front, right front, and subwoofer speakers. Nothing is coming out of the center channel nor the left and...

I extended my experiment by sending both digital and analog to the receiver so I have three sources to compare. The analog through the receiver appears to sync up better although I still get a slight echo effect (although much less than before) when I listen to the TV analog output...

I performed an experiment: I ran the DVD analog outputs directly to the TV and did an A/B comparison between the TV and the digital output through the receiver. It appears that the analog output to the TV is synchronized exactly whereas the digital one is very very slightly delayed, maybe...

I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-45TX receiver and have digital inputs for the Pioneer Elite DVD DV-05 and the Dish PVR-500. I find that when their is dialog the movement of the mouths on the screen does not match the sound of their voices. It appears that there is a slight delay in the voices...

I got the Studio 40s and CC from Michael. It was a smooth transaction and I would do business with Michael again. Thanks. -William

I bought the Paradigm ADP-170 dipole/bipole surrounds and am happy with the transaction, smooth and fast, thanks!

Hello, I am planning on getting a surround speaker system and am feeling kind of overwhelmed by all the options so am hoping folks here can help out a bit. Here is my situation: Here is a diagram of the room which is 15'2" wide x 15'6" long x 8'2" tall and carpeted with flat paint on...

Hi, Are there any subwoofers out there that are ment to be placed under a bed? I have about a 6 to 7 inch clearance. Or is this just a really bad idea? Thanks. -William

I went with hand made ones off ebay. Low cost good quality. The one I chose was bluejeans, Kurt Denke [email protected] cable $40 for a 3 feet and I am very happy with them on my Toshiba 34HF81. The connectors are Canare RCA plugs and the cable is Belden 1694A. This is supposedly...

I have one of these sets, and yes, you will continue to see thin black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when viewing an anamorphic DVD. This is since the screen is 16x9 which is 1.77 whereas the DVD is 1.85 hence the slight black bars at top and bottom. Anyway, it looks great to watch...

Hello, This sounds like exactly the same problem seen by another person at avsforum: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...ghlight=34hf81 I have this see too, but do not experience this problem. Good luck. -William

I'd go for it, I got mine new for $2,300, so your price is very good. I like the set, like the prior person said, you can find out a bunch by searching here and at http://www.avsforum.com -William
