Niel,
Same thing happened to me on a cheapo emmerson model. Enuff said. I heard high pitched noises too that transeferd onto the tape I was dubbing to. I tried new cables, expensive cables etc............nothing worked. I even tried exchanging it, but the same thing happened. Finally, I...
I think I have a good example of the difference between the two audio formats for the people who really can't hear a difference. Grant it the over all difference is probably small, barely noticeable, if at all and I know the debates on that issue.
However, i did a small test at home. In the...
Ron,
I didn't know there were calibrations that cannot be done with the disk? What are they? Do they have to inside the TV or dvd player speakers, and reciever?
Alos, I notice that the settings for dvd play do not work well with regular tv to watch broadcast shows. I have different modes on...
Thanx Mike I,
I understand things better now. I didn't know it was possible to down convert. I have read in articles about this problem, however, no article ever mentioned you can down convert from HD to tape on a VHS tape. But it makes sense that you should be able to. Im glad you cleared...
Thanx guys for your response,
So Mike I, Do i understand correctly then, that I cannot record on a VCR any shows in HD? I can't program anything to be taped or record while I'm watching?
That kinda really stinks since I mostly tape shows to watch at a later time. If this is true, isn't it...
I have been wanting an HDTV for a few months now, but I have slowly been hearing things that have put me off. First off I know that the majority of these TV's need a box top tuner. Around $500.00. Thats a given otherwise you cannot watch HDTV. So I hear.
I have also read and heard that you...
A lesson I learned long ago....................
I will never buy another GE product. Then I switched to RCA, being the thrifty man that I am. RCA is crappy to I learned. Then I learned GE makes RCA......enuff said.......Then I switched to Panasonic. Same problem. Then I learned Panasonic uses...
Hi,
I have a sony dvd player and have never had a problem. Looks and sounds great. But my question is this.
Am I missing something? My sony has DTS, 5.1 obviously, no progressive scan since I don't have HDTV......yet. It has a bunch of great features etc......
Am I missing something by not...
I tell ya,
I bought a dvd player to go with my 32' screen tv. I was just watching movies asI usually do. Then a bug bit me and I calibrated my tv with a disc. OH MY GOD! night and day difference. i could not believe i spent a whole year watching dvd's on the regular crappy settings I had...
Great Mike let usknow what the 4hr mode quality is like. Reading about it and actually seeing it are 2 different things. But still the 6 hr modeis what i'd be looking to record on, which I know is unacceptable. Hoipefully as the next generation of recorders come out that will improve to at least...
Hi James,
Yes, you are right. The DVD recording quality on the 1-2hr form is pretty good. I wrote thinking all of you knew me. See, I only record TV shows and I always you the ep mode on the VCR (6hr Mode). Given the quality of the "EP" mode on the DVD reocrders, it's not worth it for me...

I have read on DVD recorders, and just like you wanted one badly. But I read some reviews recently, and put me off.
The deal breaker for me was tat at the moment, the recording quality is not very good, almost VHS quality, and it some, actually worse. Which is a huge bummer for me. I have a...
Hi, I read your post and yes, my reply is over due, I just read yours actually.

Thank you for your reply. Yes they are both Hi Fi. Ive tried everything. Im selling this piece of crap and getting a good VCR. Granted I skimped on this VCR cause I thought I was just gonna dub old tapes and that was it. But its not worth the hassle. Suffice it to say its an emerson. And found...
Hello, just joined and am happy to be part of the group. I am somewhat of a fanatic with home theatre, and appreciate hometheatre to the fullest. So much so, that I dont go to the movies anymore.
At anyrate, this is real low tech question, but it's really bugging me that I cant figure it out...
