    Switched from Sirius to XM

    Also Diversity is good. XM offers XL channel blocking, if you truely want nothing offensive. Also We're still waiting for a Sirius Portable unit. I don't think not having a live signal when unplugged from base is truely portable. Its like me grabbing my denon DVD player unplugging it from...

    SVS PB12-isd/2

    I have a question. Did you calibrate using Avia or DVE or both? Reason Im wondering is, if you have the DTSLFE pushed up to max and LFE pushed to max, then the subwoofer channel and sub volume would be lower overall. but in 5.1 playback it would be a whole lot louder. In otherwords, knock...

    XM Connect & Play Antenna problem

    I get that hum when using my Pioneer airware in the Car. But only when I have it plugged in with the car lighter. soon as I unplug it the hiss goes away. I haven't looked into trying different Cables or trying a different power cable. Just figured I would tell ya what happens with mine, so...

    Disappointed with XM 80's channel

    I don't like the toejam much either. And unfortunately it seems to be on a lot. The worst part is that they don't show artist or song during the toejam. The decades chanels have heavily improved on a whole. So if you haven't heard XM in at least 6 months, you might want to give it another try.

    Attempting to View X-Box in HD.. Please Help

    They aren't all the same always. Depends on the TV. Some sets can't do 720p. Mine is one of them, so yours might be as well. I have 3 component inputs, 2 are 480p/i and only one does 480p and 1080i. same plug and everything, just different capabilities. Ohh and BTW, showcase reps no...

    Attempting to View X-Box in HD.. Please Help

    Figure out the model number of your TV and find out its capabilities. just saying HD, isn't quite enough, you should know if it accepts 480i 480p 720p and 1080i. Also it might take different signals per inputs, like the component #4 might take 480p and 1080i but the #5 input might take only...

    Shortage of HD-Capable Video Inputs:

    the Audio Authority 1154A suggested above is basically a cheaper alternative to buying a whole new receiver and keeping the video quality. you might want to look into that.

    Preset video modes on Mitsu 65511...?

    I think turning color to Medium will help the most with the red push issue you are seeing. Also I believe Medium looked the best to me contrast wise, where its more of the true white DVE tries to explain.

    Wtb: Svs 20-39+

    Looking for the plus model or ultra SVS. Also if anyone knows of a coupon for a SVS subwoofer, let me know I will be buying one when its off backorder if not here.

    Preset video modes on Mitsu 65511...?

    Yea I never get answers on my Mitsubishi questions either. I do have a Mits TV, 52" HD RPTV platinum. It has no video modes like sports, etc. but thats good. these are completely unneccesary. I've been calibrating mine often, the red push will fade some over time, but you need to...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Doom

    I'm just stating my opinion. I am sorry if it is a bit harsh, but I’m basically saying what others I believe think. Why review the product and only state your opinion on the film. I think there was no reason to post the review if all you’re doing is commenting on a film you skipped through. I...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Doom

    I would say Steve wanted to see Doom, or had nothing better to watch at the time. I see no reason a reviewer would bother watching a screener. Its obvious it won't be used to review the DVD product. I didn't enjoy doom much either, but my problem with the review, is that it’s a flame post...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Doom

    I appreciate the DVD reviews. I really buy DVD's based on the A/V quality. The quality of the film is the reviewers opinion. I really see no reason this should have any aspect of a scoring on a film. I have seen a few DVD's highly suggested from A/V quality along with quality of the film, which...

    Black Enhancement on/off

    I hear you should have this setting OFF, but I have calibrated multiple times with it on, and off. Im not shure if having it ON is better for this TV. I have a Mitsubishi 52" RPTV HDTV platinum model. The manual says "The contrast in dark scenes is enhanced for better picture quality...

    DVD Player setting question

    So I assume the LPCM setting does nothing? The DVD player doesn't have DVD-A capability, and this is what confused me. bitstream is on, though I believe they don't have that setting, instead has Dolby digital and DTS on/off. LPCM defaults to OFF, so I guess I will leave it that way unless I...

    DVD Player setting question

    I have a Denon 910 DVD player. running with definitive surrounds into a sony 5.1/dts receiver. Also a 52" Mits widescreen RPTV Hd. I was wondering if I should have LPCM OFF, I have read that PCM should be off, but in the manual it states "if you select OFF, copywrite protection will be...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Underworld Unrated Extended Cut With Underworld Evolution Preview Disc

    How does this matchup to the superbit version I have. I owned the first release of underworld, It dissapeared from my home, so I grabbed the superbit a few months back. It seems like the superbit looks a whole lot better than my original copy, but im curious how it matches up to this new...

    Mitsubishi TV, doesn't work in 480i

    The mits TV manual never said it upconverts anything. I know it can't handle any 720p source. It says it does 480i, 480p, and 1080i. pdf file linked. http://www.mitsubishitv.com/common/getfile.asp?uuid={6E2FFA41-F497-41ED-9B54-75D6266A90A3}

    Mitsubishi TV, doesn't work in 480i

    My DVD player before I upgraded was 480i. It said 480i on the display text on the TV. Same with my old cable before the HDTV box.

    Mitsubishi TV, doesn't work in 480i

    Im having troubles with a few consoles on my Mitsubishi 52" RPTV HDTV. Honestly it took a while till I noticed a problem, first off I have HD cable, 480p DVD, and Xbox 480p. When I boot up the Xbox now, it flickers like scrolling fast, when in the dashboard, or initial load. as soon as a...

    HDTV - Better quality with Satellite or Cable?

    Mike Can you receive HD over an antenna? I noticed some improvment from the antenna over cable. I think your best test would be to try OTA and compare that to your cable reception if possible.

    VSM and Black Enhancement

    Turning off VSM helped a great ton. Having VSM on is like typing in BOLD instead of normal font. As for black enhancement, I turned it off, the only settings I have is on or off, not sure what BH means. Also with it on or off, I can't see much of any difference with the varying test patterns...

    VSM and Black Enhancement

    How do I accomplish this? I know listening to all of the info on DVE, it basically says turn sharpness off when using component video signals. Also using their test I can't tell if the sharpness bar does anything. On Avia its a different story as I can see difference using their test pattern...

    VSM and Black Enhancement

    I've pretty much figure out all I could about basic Calibration. I've never been sure on a few things. I own both DVE and avia. I have a Mitsubishi rear Projector 48' TV. All of these settings are on my TV. Shall I turn off VSM Sharpness? Should I turn Black Enhancement Off? Should the...
