Does this set have stretch modes for watching 4:3 material?

anyone?

Yes, I know that the Philips DVD940AT is a DVD player from about 1 1/2 years ago, which is about how long I've owned it. I have it hooked to a Sony 53HS10 (Digital/HD ready set), but now I'm considering upgrading to a progressive scan... because I've heard that it's much better than...

First, keep in mind that speaker preferences are very subjective and personal, and you should not buy speakers based solely on the opinions of others. For speakers, there is no substitute for auditioning them yourself. That being said, I can offer my own observations when I was recently...

I am curious as to why there is so little talk of the RCA DTC-100? This unit has support for both DirecTV and OTA (and analog tuner as well?). It can be found rather inexpensively as open box sales in stores such as Wiz, BB and CC for anywhere between $99 and $300. Are these other, newer...

OK, bottom line, which has the better picture in terms of sharpness and clarity? I've read about the differences in specs and deinterlacing chips, and read all the arguments concerning these, but I haven't seen much where people have compared the resulting PICTURE QUALITY. If it makes any...

Just to add to my previous post: The Marantz 7000 (100 watts per channel) drives the PSBs with plenty of power to spare. The BEST speakers I have heard are the PSB Stratus Gold, their top of the line - these were much more expensive than the Bronze's and would have required larger dedicated...

For the warm sound, I highly recommend the Marantz receiver. I have the SR7000 (newer model is SR7200) and I love the sound - it is super clean, and naturally warm. As far as speakers, that's very personal, but in terms of your listening preferences I think you're on the right track. I...

To Jim Banville, I am also looking for a progressive scan upgrade for my Sony 53HS10, and was comparing the Panasonic RP91 with the Sony NS700P, and of course concerned with not triggering banding. Have you tried the Sony machine? How does it look with the Sony Hi-Scan TV? Is there banding...

How would one identify a noisy cable signal vs. a weak one? Graininess is a symptom of which problem? In terms of using a video amplifier, could one use it where the cable is ready to go to the TV, or would it be preferable to patch it in as early on in the signal line as possible (like where...
