No word yet, Michael?

Oops, perhaps I misrepresented myself. I know that the SD-3109 is an interlaced player. When I refer to progressive, I mean the DRC Cinemotion mode that the 34XBR2 can provide for. I think the Cinemotion is an excellent and cheaper alternative to buying a progressive player, however, external...

Ok, I just watched Ghost Dog, and about 3/4 of the way into the movie, there was a scene where the picture seemed to go black again for a split second (frame dropout?). This disc was clean, so I think we can rule out dirty discs as a cause. I have heard that some progressive players have...

I received the official Sony 3 meter I.Link cable yesterday, and I hooked up my JVC GR-DVL510U to the set. The set recognized the make and model of the camcorder, however, when I selected the camcorder for viewing under the I.Link menu, I received a "NO SIGNAL" message on the screen, even...

I've had my KD-34XBR2 for about one week now, and I've tried to play several DVDs (Freeway, The Pledge, Terminator 2, Leon: The Professional) on it using my Toshiba SD-3109 (connected via component) since it arrived. However, on two DVDs, Enemy of the Gates and Thirteen Days (TD), I've noticed...

Yes, my set has two firewire or I.Link connections. However, there is only one device that Sony has verified as working with the set, it's a Sony digital cable STB. I'm hoping that perhaps my JVC GRDVL510 MiniDV cam will work with the set when I get a firewire cable. If it doesn't, there is...

I'm envious that you can pick up HD stations. Unfortunately, Springs is taking their sweet time. Glad to hear from someone who owns one as well... we should start an early owners group or something, Garrett- LOL. Anyway, have you had your set calibrated yet? And any ideas on if there are...

Well, I went out and took the plunge last night and bought what was supposed to be the first floor model of the Sony KD-34XBR2 for Colorado Springs (good timing on my part). Fortunately, I bought it before they had a chance to unpack it so it was brand new in the box and untouched. Well, I...

I went to the Soundtrack in Denver next to the Park Meadows Mall on Friday and saw the KD-34XBR2. The set was gorgeous (excellent picture, wonderful on-screen menus), however this was only a floor model and Soundtrack stores in the Springs/Denver area will not get actual ones to sell until...

I went to another BB last Fall for the same thing (looking for a digital camera) and was hard pressed to find anyone even willing to help me. Can anyone else verify that Sony may not allow BB to carry the XBRs? Basically, what this all comes down to me for is, even though I hate BB, I really...

Ok, I can't hold back any longer on this story about BB and XBRs. I was in BB a few weeks ago, and I was just casually walking around the TV area when a pretty, young BB employee came up to me and asked if she could help me with anything. Not looking for anything in particular, I decided to...

I believe the KD-34HD2 is now being called the KW-34XBR2. Which means Best Buy probably won't carry it since they shy away from the XBR series like the plague (those idiots). Robert

Tod, I just went to soundcity.com's website, and I didn't see anything made by Sony offered there. Are you sure it was soundcity.com that you got your set from? Robert

Mike, you don't have to register. Just visit http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/ss5/ BTW, does anybody else notice the broken link found under the 'hdtv xbr' subsection of the XBR area? Hmmm, maybe Sony didn't finalize the KD-34XBR2's specs before they re-did their site. To answer...

I recall hearing a release date around October for the new KD-34XBR2 (Sony's 2nd Gen Direct View HDTV set). But then again, it'll be out when it's done. Robert

RE: "[Why] would anyone want to buy a direct view set when you can get equal or better performance from a projection TV of bigger size..." I've been waiting for someone to pop off with a statement of this sort on the forum. The reason "anyone" would want to buy a direct view set versus a...

Can you still watch 480p material (like from a progressive scan DVD player) on an HDTV-ready set (oops, I mean monitor- which I now think is the "official" term here) without an HDTV tuner? If so, I might buy an HDTV set soon. Robert
