    Considering a Samsung DLP?

    I have a 61" Sammy DLP. I have been very satisfied and about the only thing that I'll buy next will be a projector and a screen I can measure in FEET! (in any display, remember it can only be as good as your source, the built in Faroudja Dcdi helps with sdtv and HD of course is brilliant)

    Samsung DLP Plus Video Scaler?

    I pulled my wife's Briteview off her LCD and put it on MY (hehe) 61" Sammy DLP and it was better at handling SDTV. For DVD I use Denon's 5900 via DVI and of course with some tweaks it rocks.....I would think using like KDS' Leeza outputting in an appropriate 1:1 pixel mapping 4:3 material would...

    Denon 5900 / Sudden Closed Captions Display

    New info: Check your firmware.... it should read: Make Date 1015 ESS 6334-1 DRV 030825 SYS 6542-1 DSP1 6332 DSP2 6333 Many units late and early manufacture date have old firmware. Contact Denon for the update. I have DSP2 0020. I don't know if it will fix it but it's at least...

    Denon 5900 / Sudden Closed Captions Display

    I tried their customer technical service email twice....both returned. I would assume the DVI firmware would have all the latest in it.

    Denon 5900 / Sudden Closed Captions Display

    I recently got the 5900 and did the upgrade with no problem. Connected to Sammy DLP via DVI set @ 720p. During playback on 3 different DVD's the appropriate closed captions for the scene suddenly came up on the display. I rolled the disk back each time and replayed and it didn't happen again...

    speaker wire length?

    I don't remember where I read it but when I was setting up my Def Tech's I read to make them the same. I run my mains and rear effects the same length to the inch....(I get bored)

I am seriously jones'n for a new player ( have the Sony DVP-S550D) but I really don't listen to music,so dvd-a and sacd...

    Receiver; to use as switch or not? DVI?

    I havn't seen any receivers with DVI connections to maintain the best possible connection from the component to maintain the receiver as the switch. I too do direct connections to the display, too bad there aren't any high end receivers with strictly audio connections or manufactured both ways...

    Receiver; to use as switch or not? DVI?

    OK, This could be strictly a bunch of opinions or personal preference but here goes.... Should one put all video sources through the receiver and use it as a switch if possible or only audio and do all direct connects from each video component to the monitor and switch both as necessary...

    Coaxial Digital vs Optical Sound Cables

    I am not interested in worthless chatter, only an answer, if you don't know either, just say so.

    Coaxial Digital vs Optical Sound Cables

    True or false I suppose.... Coaxial digital cables will perform better due to eliminating the 2 conversions neccessary in toslink. If true, why are there predominately more toslink hookups vs coaxial? This was in another forum and also stated on Better Cables website so I assume it...

    Calibrating Sammy DLP

    Hello Has anyone used Avia to calibrate the Sammy DLP? I realize convergance can't be done, but what about all the other tweaks? Would it work on a fixed pixel progressive scan display?

    Will there be a price drop for the samsung dlp's anytime soon?

    I walked in on truck delivery day and got lucky and got a 61" since I had cash in hand, others are still on a list. There are no 61" in Central Ohio in stock. Samsung cannot keep up so they will ride that horse until a new colt is born....but remember, all things are negotiable. I got the 61"...

    Samsung DLP TV?

    I have the current generation Sammy DLP in a 61"....I have strained to see the rainbow effect and am yet to see it. Perhaps the prob is solved? My monitor is 2 weeks old. If you have an HHGregg locally the sticker on a 61" is 4999 but I was out for 4165. But tell your friend to remember the DLP...

    Denon 5900

    Here's another tidbit off product spec literature......... Due to current standards of the DVD Copy Control Association made up of DVD-related companies, output of DVD video images to DVI has not yet been approved. The DVI port on this product at the time of release thus does not...

    Denon 5900

    This is what I meant by approved, this comes right off the product description on the Denon site...see the bold print. For 2K I hope they conquer this. Where are the Secrets test results posted and does anyone know how the compare to say the 2900? It may be hard to give a good...

    Any word on the DVI approval? Still also curious if anyone knows why it wasn't THX certified..........does it REALLY make a difference?

    Denon 5900

    Hello all, kind of curious if anyone has heard of a release date yet on the 5900? What about the use of the DVI? I heard it hasn't been approved for use yet either. I also am real confused as to why this player wasn't made to THX certified since some of their other players are so obviously they...

    :confused:HELP. Digital out with Analog out (cable)

    Thanks for lookin..I did find out that when using an RF modulator with Sony that the audio input must be selected manually or "it may not work" I found a work around by displaying..not renaming the connections and going straight coax dig. The lites say dvd but the alphanumeric display says cable...

    I am using a SA dig cable box. I have anolog to analog to my reciever, I have coax dig to an optical converter and then in to my reciever. If I set my reciever to auto input, I get popping sounds and sometimes extreme white noise bursts or temporary sound outages on analog stations. Digital...

    Denon 2900 & Sammy DLP

    My DLP does have the DVDi chip and realize that's doing the process, the monitor has 2 inputs for 480p,720p and 1080i, so putting a progreesive signal in one of those does no good I am assuming..?.. Also, on the DVI Sammy player, can the processing be turned off? And I have no experience with...
