Chris....yes you're right...can't seem to get the red tube to cooperate in that pesky lower right corner. I'll try again when I have renewed patience and a few spare hours... Thanks again for the tip. Dan

Thanks for the reply Chris. Your settings are only half the story though. Because the Denon and it's PS signal is a new kind of input- diferent from what my old Sony DVD put out- the tubes had to be re-registered. I found the Sony Service Manual for the D50-Q online http://www.vidya.com/D50/...

I have a Sony VPH-D50Q CRT front projector with the built in line doubler board (EXB-DS10) and I recently upgrade my DVD player to a Denon DVD-2900 with progessive scan output. The problem is I can't get the projector to see the PS output. I turned off the board (on the setup menu) and tried...

Having loved Shyamalan's last two features I was absolutely shocked at how bad this movie was. SF is my favourite genre and I'm always complaining Howllywood doesn't put out enough Science Fiction, so I'm pretty easy to please (I loved Dune) but this film is tedious, badly written, with...

Chris, For Home Theater 140 watts will be fine. I got the red lights flashing on the Bryston while listening to Santana at high volume. Get these speakers man, you won't be sorry. And in the future if you upgrade your amp, you'll fall in love with their sound all over again. Dan

I was driving mine with a Bryston 9B but the 120 watts per ch wasn't enough and I was getting red overdrive lights on the amp. I now have a Cinepro 3K6 (400w per ch)and they sound incredible, like I went out and bought new speakers. These speakers are real power hogs. D.

Hi, Now that Cinepro has (temporarily?) gone out of business, I'm looking for information from Cinepro 3K6 owners on how to do a 110 to 220v power conversion on the amp. Any info is appreciated. Thanks, Dan

This is really bad news. I've been saving for three years to buy a Cinepro 3K6III and now that I'm finally ready to order I read this. You can't buy 6x400 watt amp in Cinepro's price range that I know of- and I've looked. Very sad. I can only hope someone buys the company and starts...

That's the answer I was looking for. Thanks Michael.

I suppose I could have re-phrased the original post question to something like this........ If I have a set with a built in line doubler, should I bother to spend the $$$ to upgrade to a progressive scan DVD player? I can't do a test if I don't buy and I won't buy if it's not going...

Michael, I have the Sony VPH-D50Q front projector with Sony's EXB-DS10 built-in line doubler board which I can manually turn on or off. Dan

I'm thinking of buying a new DVD player with a progressive scan output. I'll use the player's component output into my FPTV which has a built in line doubler. Will the scan be quadrupled (sp?) or what? How will the image be effected? Anybody know? Thanks, Dan

Dave, I agree the 100's are nice but because my HT room isn't very wide they are a bit obtrusive. I bought the speakers before I bought the screen and FPTV. Before I consider selling them for matching fronts, I think I'll do a test by putting them up on blocks horizonataly and have...

This post has be sitting over in the speaker forum for a day or so with no replies. Can anybody here help me out? >I've got a 110 inch 16x9 screen which takes up almost one whole wall of my home theater. My L&R speakers are Paradigm studio 100 towers (2 woofers, 1 mid, 1 tweeter) At...

I've got Studio 100's running off a 5ch Bryston HT amp @ 120 watts per. With movies the Bryston is ok although the red overdrive lights (not enough power to the speakers) go on during some EFX scenes. Music is a whole different story though. I'm constantly getting red light warnings...

Neil, Yes V.E. does have an adjustment when you can't do the pluge test properly. Trouble is, it's really only a half measure and doesn't fix the problem of crushed blacks in the films I'm watching. From the responses in this and other forums it looks like the problem does...

Kevin, I don't think the 7700 has that black level adjustment in the setup menu. I've been through the menus and the manual again and can't find any mention of it. Are you sure it's available in my model DVD player? Dan

I hope it's ok to post this in this forum. I'm reposting this from the DVD Player area in the hopes of more feeback. (I heard this is where all the techs hang out) Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Dan >I recently tried to do a video lineup with the Video Essentials DVD and...

I'm reposting this from the DVD Player forum in the hopes of more feeback. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Dan >I recently tried to do a video lineup with the Video Essentials DVD and had trouble with the pluge test. I could not see the "blacker than black" test signal...

Keith, Yes the S7700 was fairly expensive when I bought it 31/2 years ago, about $1800 cdn. if I remember. This pluge problem could be the projector but I doubt it. I guess the only way to be sure is to get my hands on a new model DVD player and put it through some tests. Trouble is...

I recently tried to do a video lineup with the Video Essentials DVD and had trouble with the pluge test. I could not see the "blacker than black" test signal. With the DVD came a notice which said........ "The established method for setting the brightness control as described in...

OK, no replies after a couple of days. I'll simplify the question. Has anybody else noticed the Godafather part 1 and/or Dr. Doolittle pt 2 to be very contrasty with loss of detail in the black areas of some scenes, especially interiors?

I love movies but hate movie theaters, that's why I put one in my home. As far as the widescreen experience goes, with a hi end FPTV and 110 inch 16x9 screen, sitting 15 feet from my screen is almost the same as sitting 50 feet back from the local movie house's big screen, angle of...

I'm posting this here in the software section in the hopes that both Godfather fans and people with some tech knowledge of FPTV's can help me figure out if I'm having a problem with my projector or not. Now before I get to the question, I want to avoid another Godfather transfer...

Patrick............. C&L not only had it, but for about half the price I've seen elsewhere. Thanks for the tip. Dan

Apparently The audio/video setup DVD "Video Essentials" is no longer being produced. If someone has a copy they want to sell me (Canada Only pls our dollar is in the dumper) or anyone knows where to get it FOR SURE, I'd appreciate a reply. I say for sure because I've spent the last...

As I said to a previous poster the Studio 100's need power if you want to rock. My amp is rated at 120 watts per channel and is not nearly enough. I'd say a minimum of 200 watts per channel otherwise the red clipping lights will start flashing. I'm saving up for a Cinepro and my...

If you are considering a Paradigm upgrade........... I have the Studio 100's. The good news is are they are, if not the best, one of the best speakers in that price range. The bad news is, if you like to rock, they need POWER. I have found 200 watts minimum if you like your music...

I spent six months doing research and listening to a dozen different brands of subs. The Servo 15 was by far the best sub I heard for under $5000. Dan
