Onkyo TX-SR805 Black. Bought this receiver from Circuit City in June. Perfect condition, but has been used. Nothing wrong with it. $850 Reason for selling: Honestly, was just a stopgap until the new Yamahas hit, and they have, so this thing needs to go. For now, I don't want to...

I'm sorry, but this is still ridiculous to me. I've read, and reread, virtually all the posts and articles I care to about this stuff. In this case, I'm sick to death of people saying, "You can't do anything with it now, but you will...." Lame. The technology should be available from...

So, before I bought the 805 over the weekend, I did exhaustive research here and on various other HT sites to know what I was in for. I had, well still have, a Yamaha RX-V2600, that I wanted to trade up for an HDMI 1.3 AVR for switching since I have so many frickin' HD components to input...

So, I finally went and bought the HD-A2 after suffering too long with the sound problems of the XBOX 360 HD-DVD Add On. Now, I own BASIC INSTINCT and RENAISSANCE on HD-DVD, both of which are foreign made HD-DVDs. They played fine on the 360, but when I put both into the A2 it froze the...

I don't understand. No one can benefit from the TrueHD on the XBOX 360 because you can not properly receive the signal through non-HDMI cables. As far as I've read, the XBOX down-codes everything to Dolby Digital 5.1, and there have been several sound related issues with it. But nothing is...

Thanks for the info. I finally noticed when a company mentions 4:4:4 it "processing" not "pulldown." I think I subconciously substituted pulldown all the time. It's strange to me companies like Denon, Yamaha and Pioneer will spec out "3:2 Pulldown" in their lower models, yet start referring...

I have heard many definitions for the following question, but I would DIE for a definitive answer... What is the difference between 3:2 pulldown and 4:4:4 pulldown? And why do some players, mostly higher end, say 2:3 pulldown? I do somewhat know what 3:2 compensation is, and why...

Thanks for the info on the Sony. I looked it up, and it is definitely nice, but for that kinda dough the Pioneer Elite C36 does more for me, although it is not SACD. Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me about the extended audio option. The bells and whistles on the Sony seem decent, but I...

I looked up info on the Sony 555 ES and all I could find was the CD changer. Is that model number correct? On the Sony website the only ES DVD player listed was a single disc.

Thanks for the info, but I already have a single-disc Progressive Scan DVD Player, 2 actually. I have the Mitsubishi 6040 that came free with my TV, and then the Denon 2900 player I bought a little later. I just want the best picture and build quality changer available for a decent price. I'm...

All right fellas, I need some purchasing help. I want to buy a new Progressive Scan DVD changer, 5 disc preferred, and I am completely unsure of what is the best for the money and the quality. I have always only bought Pioneer, but am open to suggestions on other brands. I have a Mitsu 65 HD...

Dune Unauthorized Extended Cut Japanese LaserDisc- 2 disc theatrical cut and 2 part Japanese television version which includes numerous deleted scenes and the infamous "prologue." Hamlet The 4 hour Kenneth Branagh version from CTHV.

I will try both and get back to you. Thanks. BTW, I noticed the scan lines quite a bit while watching the deleted/extended scenes on THE CORE DVD. Now I'm really starting to get worried because I never saw them before on my DVD input, which is 480p. Of course, the picture quality on the...

Have a Mitsu 65511 and am now having visible scan lines during picture fade-in/fade-out and quick movement. Most of the visible lines occur in the center portion of the screen. This is while viewing non-HD cable signal through Scientific Atlanta cable box. My sharpness settings are not high...

Thought of that and pulled down the color, but it can still be seen even when the color is pulled. I calibrated each input in use.

I bought a Mitsu 65511 a few months ago and have no complaints except one. I have calibrated it with Avia as well as having someone in my company professionally go over my calibration and am currenty using a Mistu 6020 Prog Scan DVD Player (came free with TV). My problem is with red. When...

I just did a test with my new Mitsu 65511 and corresponding Mitsu 6040 Prog DVD player. I had it in the 480p Component Output and after reading the above posts decided to put it in the Int-DTV so-called "wide-band" input. Yeah, I saw little or no change in the picture quality. I have Monster...
