Have this for sale. Asking $12 OBO. PM if interested.

I have this receiver and am intrigued that it can decode hi res audio. I currently have a few lossless albums that I've purchased from HDTracks, but have waited to pull the trigger on a dedicated DAP. I'm considering the FiiO X3. Is there a way to connect this DAP to the STRD-H750? Once that's...

Hey all, I have some older Computer Games with a native 4:3 aspect ratio. When I try playing them on my HP widescreen laptop, the image is stretched to fill the 16:9 screen. Is there a way to have these games display in their native ARs? I'm running Windows Vista. Thanx in advance, JD

My family and I are currently living in an apartment, so I'm not able to use my full HT setup for BD playback. I'm currently using my HP laptop with BD-ROM Multi-Drive to view Blus. I noticed a video noise issue with certain scenes featuring the Excelssior. The saucer support and the grid work...

Hey all. My HT is made up of a PS3 sending a 720p signal via component video to an Infocus SP4805. I love the picture with one exception: That nagging color banding, no doubt caused by the limitations of a downrezzed signal over component video. I want to eventually upgrade my display device to...

Is this possible? Particularly with the recent switch to digital. My gut tells me no simply because BD movies are HD native, but would someone please verify. Thanx.

This is one of my all-time favorite films. I was surprised by the brief audio pop/dropout during "The Bare Necessities" as Baloo reacts to getting his back scratched back when I purchased the single disc SD-DVD. I figured that one day Disney would address this situation and was overjoyed that...

Congratulations on the Platinum Edition of Sleeping Beauty on Blu-Ray. From all reports, the work done on this edition is nothing short of a revelation. This is encouraging for future Platinum Editions of your classic animated library. Which brings me to this post about Fantasia. I understand...

I've got a Toshiba HD-A30 hooked up to an InFocus ScreenPlay 4805 by way of component video and audio is sent out via HDMI to a Sony 720. When I put a DVD in, the screen goes black but the audio works fine. I've looked at the setup menu, but everything looks ok. It appears that it's related to...

I picked up a Toshiba HD-A30 on ebay for a really good deal. The only caveat is that the remote was not included. I need to access the A30's setup menu and was wondering if the Harmonys can do that or if they provide limited functionality (Play, Stop, Pause, on/off, skip). Any help is...

Bill, I know you're not on staff at WB, however you have connections as the BD-50/Lossless audio debacle clearly demonstrates. So, would you care to pass on to those in charge that there are some hosers who would love a special 25th anniversary "Brew-Ray" (Beauty pun, eh!) of Strange Brew...

Hey y'all! I purchased a Sony STR-DG720 so that I can finally get LPCM from my PS3 via HDMI. This receiver does not feature analogue inputs, which is how my HD-DVD player has been hooked up. My question is will the Tosh send 5.1/7.1 LPCM via HDMI? Thanx in advance!

I may be in the minority and I realize that it's not necessarily the most High Def friendly film on the planet, but I'm being serious. It's the 25th anniversary of the film, and a new version featuring commentary by Bob and Doug would be a beauty addition to my library. Thomas and Moranis did a...

I was set to wait for the Panny BD50, until the news broke about the PS3 getting the DTS-HDMA upgrade. Now I'm inclined to go out and pick up a new PS3 40GB console (Latest versions are reported to be quieter). But in order to take advantage of the audio, I'll need to upgrade my receiver. Since...

I've been drooling since this player was announced. I cannot wait. DTS-HDMA decoders built in. According to bluray.com MSRP will be $599 and it will street in May. I've been saving for a few months for this puppy and by May, I'll have more than enough. I'll probably pick up a Fox Blu-Ray at the...

I'm planning on purchasing this player at some point. I'm eagerly anticipating listening to DTS-HDMA. Does anyone know what the BD Profile version is on this player? If the current profile isn't 1.1, I'll skip this unit and save my shillings for another player. Thanx in advance.

It's not quite been a year since I purchased the HD-A1. It's got firmware 2.2 and it's run quite nicely up until recently. A couple of weeks ago, I was watching the SD-DVD version of "I, Robot" and I noticed some very scratchy audio. I was running the DTS track over optical at the time. Last...

This was posted in the Official thread, but I have yet to have anyone respond. Chances are my post will get buried, so I'm starting a dedicated thread. I've sent the Sammy back to Amazon because I'm none too thrilled with the audio limitations of the 1200. So after doing some research, I'm...

How good with product support has Samsung been? What's their track record with providing firmware updates for their blu-ray players?

Question - What BD Players out of the box will allow uncompressed PCM or lossless audio over 5.1 analog outs? Or is this only possible by way of a firmware update a la Toshiba's HD-A1? It's my birthday in a couple of weeks and I'm going to give myself the gift of blu. My receiver does not have...

Is there such a beast as a single 3rd party unit that would allow multiple 5.1 inputs from both a BluRay Disc Player and an HD-DVD Player, and then output to a receiver with a single 5.1 analog input? What I want to do is add a BluRay Disc player to my home theater, but my receiver is not hdmi...

Hey everyone. I'm loving my HD-A1! I had waffled about upgrading since my display device is the InFocus Screeplay 4805, which is not a HD projector, neither does it have HDMI inputs. Upon getting some opinions, I took the plunge and have been blown away by the 10801 image downconverted to the...

What's the scuttlebutt? Is there scuttlebutt? What would you like to see? Personally, I'd love to have faster boot up time and a resume play feature. Other than those two issues, I'm really pleased with my HD-A1.

Any word on which hi-def optical disc format Dreamworks SKG will go with? How about New Line? My assumption is that since that's a Time Warner company, they will go HD-DVD.

Just curious, did any of the firmware upgrades address the slow power up time of the HD-A1?

My assumption is that HD-DVD and BDs do not suffer from layer change issues. At least not yet. Am I correct?

Subject says it all. I've read through the specs and they seem to be almost identical machines. Am I right?

I posted this in another 4805 firmware thread, but since that thread is more celebratory that a firmware upgrade is available, I fear my post is going to get buried, so I'm starting a new thread. I've been trying to upgrade the firmware all morning and I'm stuck. I've got the M-1 - DVI cable...

Given that The Chronicles of Narnia is such a phenomenon, I wonder if there are any plans to reissue Shadowlands. Region 2 recently got a SE complete with a new anamorphic transfer. It would be great if Region 1 wasn't far behind. Perhaps once Disney releases Narnia on DVD in a couple of months.

Last week, I saw this delightful little movie directed by Mike Newell, but alas, it was on VHS. I've looked for DVD availability, but there is currently not a Region 1 DVD. This was a Miramax film distributed by Paramount back in the early '90s. The videocassette was from Paramount, but I don't...
