    Extending Component Video

    I need to extend the component video cables for my XBox gaming console. I bought the Monster video cables for my XBox which is 10'. For reasons beyond my control this is not long enough. What's the best way to extend those cables without compromising the quality and voiding the investment I...

    XBox on my HDTV

    DVDs play 1080i on my set then or does that depend on the DVD? Any way to tell what resolution a given source is playing in? Sorry for branching this thread off onto a different subject.

    XBox on my HDTV

    I'm not too technical on HD but I've heard that there's a debate about which is better 1080i or 720p. Could an argument be made between 480p and 1080i or is there no question that 1080i is better? What's the opinion here on 1080i vs. 720p? Should I be bummed that my TV doesn't support 720p...

    XBox on my HDTV

    What do you mean the jury is out. In the video setup of the XBox there is a 720p enabled/disabled selection (along with 480p and 1080i). My TV (Pioneer SD-643HD5) doesn't support 720p anyway.

    XBox on my HDTV

    It does. 480p, 720p and 1080i. But I don't think that means that I don't have to worry about the burn-in or sticking from static images.

    I am connecting to my HDTV via a component input to the TV (I'm using a audio/video pack by Monster for component and digital audio but you can also buy one from Microsoft) but that doesn't mean there's no risk of the burn-in / sticking I've heard about or does it? Also when you say broadband...

    *** Official "X-BOX" Discussion Thread

    I just bought an XBox and would like to continue playing it on my HDTV (SD-643HD5) but both my TV and XBox manual tell me not to. Actually the warnings range from NEVER to limit to 2 hours with 6 hours of regular TV between. The devil on my shoulder that wants to play games on the 64" HD...

    Tipping a Pioneer Projection

    What does everyone think of tipping a Pioneer SD-643-HD5 on it's side in order to get it around a corner when moving it down my basement stairs? If not that, does anyone know if this one can be disassembled in anyway?
