I just got an RX-V2200 for $650 as they are being replaced by the 2300. If you can still find a 2200 to scarf up, I would highly recommend it. Brent

Thanks for the reply. Since my TV only has 1 S-Video input and hooked the video through the receiver since both the DVD and VCR have S-Video out (plus, I will upgrade to digital cable soon, and it also has a S-Video out). I have RF into the TV so can play it in stand-alone mode. I did hook...

Well, I bit the bullet and got an RX-V2200 to replace my outdated RX-V870. I could hardly pass it up at a closeout price of $650! Before I set this baby up, I thought I would ask a few questions that I am not clear on. The equipment I will be hooking up to it consists of: Display JVC...

It truly amazes me that people are willing to spend many thousands of dollars on a big screen TV and 7.1 surround sound, then are perfectly content to watch an intentionally distorted picture! Perhaps because I am a somewhat serious photographer, my eyes are more sensitive to this distortion...

Thanks, what a great forum. This thread has just validated my widescreen purchase decision. Since I too cannot live with the stretch modes on 4:3 source material, and since 4:3 will be the standard for a few more years at least, I will just live with my old, analog TV until the situation...

I am NOT a lawyer, but it would seem to me if one has a bug burned into their TV, it would be a slam dunk to make the offending station pay via small claims courts. You should be able to get the $1000 to $1500 necessary to fix your TV. Go to small claims court with a photo of the burned in...

Thanks to all for the comments. I fully understand the limitations of VHS tapes, which is one reason I recorded the test in S-VHS at high speed. And, when I indicated the cars looked bad in full stretch mode I was referring to the shape of the cars and NOT the noise and distortion caused by...

The other day, I wasted a couple of hours at "The Good Guys" looking for a widescreen with satisfactory 4:3 stretch. As experinced before at the dealers, they immediately were pushing me into the top of the line Mitsubishi (with the IMHO cheezy looking polished black finish). Do all the dealers...

I have to disagree with you Jim. It is a proven fact that "solid state" electronics do have a high "infant mortality" rate. After this initial high failure rate, the rate drops to a very low level until near the end of its life, which is likely many years. Thus, the failure rate for "solid...

I am getting ready to upgrade to a Digital/DTS receiver and would like to keep the price below $500 (street price). I will be keeping my existing speakers which are as follows: Center Speaker Polk-Audio CS350LS Side Speakers Polk-Audio RT16 Rear Speakers Polk-Audio M3 Sub Woofer...
