    Samsung HD-931 and 1080i

    Hi All, There has been talk of this DVD player not making a big impact on RPTVs, especially those that upconvert 480p to 540p. I know this DVD player also supports an output of 720p and 1080i. Granted none of the lower cost RPTVs support 720p, but I thought they did support 1080i? Will they...

    480p Faroudja DVD RPTV

    Hi All, I have been studying the forums for a few weeks now trying to purchase a set. I have basically decided to wait a few more years before going digital, but I am going to go ahead and buy a tabletop RPTV for now. I have decided to pass on the Toshiba and Hitachi since they upconvert to...

    1024 x 768 and 1080i

    I noticed all these LCD and DLP monitors at the store support 1080i, but have 1024x768 resolution, or close to that. Isn't the 1080i name from horizontal resolution (768 in the case of these monitors). Does that mean that these monitors take a 1080i signal and then downconvert it to 768...

    Center Speaker Sounds Empty

    Hi, This may be because I am running a budget system. I have the Polk RM6000 Surround speakers and an HK-120 receiver. What I notice is that on DTS and DD5.1 Soundtracks, the vocals are sent to the Center Channel. This is normal. If I listen to the same DVD in Stereo or DPLII the voices...

    HK 120 what am I missing

    Hi, I have a smaller living room 13X15 to go along with my smaller budget and I went with the HK 120 receiver. I am happy with it, no complaints, but just wondering what I am missing out on when you compare the 120 to the 320. Here are a couple differences I don't understand: Difference 1...

    Digital Cable

    I have Comcast in Michigan. Wondering if anyone has digital cable set up through their receiver and if there are a lot if any stations that support DB 5.1. I know they also have music channels available. Is this worth an extra $10 a month to anyone who currently has it? Thanks!

    Ghost Image on The Matrix DVD

    Hi, Watched matrix and I can detect a slight ghostly shadow to the right of any scenes that are close up face shots or show a long straight line across the screen. I get this effect when I am watching cable often, I figured it was just bad reception. Anyone know what causes that? Also, I...

    Weird Polk Sub config and Dolby 5.1

    I have the Polk RM6000 Surround speakers. The manual says to connect the sub to the Front speaker jacks on the receiver and set the front speakers to "Large". Then run the front speaker wires out of the Sub to the front speakers. The reason is that the Sub has its own build in "Low Pass...

    Unshielded Speakers near TV

    I have an unshielded Sub. I know if magnets are too close to the TV they cause crazy color patterns, and if they stay there to long the patterns will stay permanently. My question is, if my sub is a foot and a half away from my TV, and everything looks fine with the picture, am I safe? Or is...

    First System under $1000

    Hello, I am primarily a video game player but also enjoy DVDs as much as thenext guy. I have a PS2 and know that Dolby Pro Logic II will be used in upcoming games to add a surround sound experience. I first considered the Bose 3-2-1 system. Their new display caught my eye when...
