I would see one in action first,due to it being a DLP projector they tend to have rainbows and you might not like it,so beware. LCD's dont have rainbows but have less fill factors then DLP(you can see a screen door affect if too close to a screen). HTPC is Home Theater Personal...

i think he meant that the components that you have is way too easy to connect and it was a no brainer for him... I dont he meant anything else. And yes,if you wanna use the DD or DTS(if one of the units has decoder for it)sound,connect it using a coax or optical from dvd to reciever,much...

Brian, Most of my dvd collections are 2.35:1 AR and ive noticed a lot more dvd's are coming out with the same AR of 2.35:1,just like the movie ones,so thats why i decided to buy a 2.35:1 screen. With most of my dvd's being that ratio,i get a full screen with no black bars anywhere.And when i...

No problemo(thanks David X)... I used to have an old TV that required tuning a video that way so i figured he might have the same type of tv... These newer tv's are much more easier these days,LOL. Enjoy your films DAN...

some TV's have a "AV" button on a remote that you might have to press to get a video picture OR if its a old unit,i think you might have to manually search for a video channel,just like you do when you search the frequency for finding tv programs. Try letting the movie play on your video while...

Dustin, thanks for responding. ive been asking around and looks like a PC will be able to do all this without going to a expensive external scaler. I might try it and see what happends. Thanks again...

ALLAN, thanks for responding. I have a LCD SVGA Hitachi with only a DVD connected to it at the moment until i figure it out(no external devices for now). What im trying to say is: i can have it done two different ways(that i know of). 1.Make the 2.35:1 movies fit perfectly on my 2.35:1...

Marc, thanks for responding. I finally got it to work 2day. There was nothing wrong with the way i had it connected,it was all in the VCR's menu.Once i got in the menu and changed the image output to AUTO"PAL",the audio started working...and now everything is good. I knew i had it...

HI every1, I seem to have a problem with my DVD aspect ratio's and im pulling my hair off(im almost bold now). Ill try to explain. The screen aspect ratio that i have is a 2.35:1 so when i watch a dvd movie with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio the screen is filled fully from bottom to top and i...

Thanks John for the reply, just one thing.When i run the cable to the vcr to demodulate the signal,can i connect the VCR OUT to my yamaha reciever VCR-IN instead of directly to the tv(im actually using a projector)as you mention? I want to use a few things connected to my...

MICK, what is this "Cygnus line doubling lens" and can any lcd projector use that lens?,and if so ,where can i find such a thing and how much ?... thanks

Thanks you for clearing that up for me. I was worried i would not get the full 540 resolution lines by connecting S-VIDEO since that is all i can connect at the moment. Thanks again

Hi, I was told that if using S-VIDEO cable(connected to a DVD player),i will only get around 400lines(cause the s-video has its limit around the 400 lines of resolution) out of 540lines that a DVD player puts out. BUT if i use component cables,i will get the 540 lines of resolution! is...

Thanks for the reply, Ill use the S-video for now and read/learn about the scalers,doublers,progressive scan ect,and try to figure out witch way to go later on for an improvement in picture. Thanks again for your help.
