I am going to try a 4:3 title tonight and see, but I played a non anamorphic widescreen the other night and had to use my players vertical zoom to get it to work correctly, so I am thinking I am pretty much hosed on true 4:3 material no? But is there a player that offers 4:3 pillar boxing for...

I just installed my SP5000 last friday night.. I spent a ton of time with this projector over this weekend. Using the 76" Free Pull Down Screen. That screen is bigger than it needs to be vertically by pretty much, which is way cool as I still get a 66"+ 4:3 screen. I watch a ton of black and...

I just ordered a Screenplay 5000 front projector. No more CRT RP for me I suppose. :) Just seemed to good of a deal for a true HD 16:9 LCD projector with free 76" Pull down screen and free shipping for $899. My siginifcant other is going to kill me though when she finds out.

My head is spinning... geeesh, I don't think I have anguished over any purchase like this one since buying my HD display. :) svideo performance is most paramount in my choice here, even against conventional wizdom that says to use the Composite output. Ok, I am going to edit. This is...

Can you hook the speaker level input up in parallel? In other words not have any satalites/speakers plugged into the output, but have your mains hooked up to them in parallel? I have been try'n to find a way to apply the DLS5000R DSP to my older CHT15 and still use the amp in the older...

SVS PB12-Ultra/2 -vs Velodyne DSL5000R Had a blast with the two subwoofers for a couple of hours. Finally getting RoomEQWizard running on my laptop, It was really cool watching the sweep extend strong down to 16hz on the SVS for sure. The DLS5000R was no slouch, the curves looked very similar...

I searched some threads, and found quite a few references. But I would like to re-address this again, since most of what came up from a search was pretty old. What programs do most use these days? Of course I need to be able to measure the low end stuff too. I am leaning towards DSSF3...

I have discouraged it in the past, but I have a chance to get a Mitsu XL1XU used, but I know the company and I'll bet the thing doesn't have 200 hours on it for like $300... Seems a good deal. At one time it did seem people were happy using these for HT, even being a presentaion projector...

Probably not the right forum.... But at my address I have three options for paid content. Comcast Cable Dish Network Direct TV Direct TV: The cheapest package to get like say ESPN is $31.95, I can get my regional fox sports for another $5 (Imporatnt for loval hockey coverage). $36.95...

OK, I just had a sales guy at a high end audio store that seemed mad that I ended up buying a Velodyne DLS5000R -vs- the Velodyne DD stuff they carry insult the %#$@#% of me.... I don't even know where to begin with some of the things he said to me... But, I don't think it is crazy or...

Pulled out my LD of Ben Hur over the weekend which I had not watched in forever plus a day. Taken back by the size of the screen I was getting, I looked on the box.. 2.76:1 preserved in OAR.... Wowsers... I found I really liked the field of view and the director really seem to use every...

A friend just emailed me all excited about purchasing 2 pair of these. When I wrote back telling him I was not familure at all. He wrote back that he was very surprised I had not heard of them. Anybody have experience with them?

Box set on Lasersdisc.... After getting out bid on it several times over the last 5 to 10 years. Anybody remember this Burton / Spielberg cartoon gem? Any fans around still?

Seems this feature is going away on all the modern AVR's.... Drag for me, this is a feature I have used quite often through the years. They should allow Mutlichannel inputs to be asigned for either use somehow. I was hot after an H/K AVR7300, but I think I just realized there are no...

1. Do all bridge-able amps support the cheater tri-mode where you can place your subwoofer between the bridge while running your satalites as two channel? 2. Can you give me a list of some really small footprint powerful amps that have this feature and speaker level inputs?

I know about the H/K 7300.... What would be the most inexpensive AVR with the ability to take 480i video sources and use the Faroudja DCDi to give you Progressive Scan 480p out the Component Video output? Anybody really used this feature on their H/K 7300 on SVIDEO sources? Impressions...

Ok, I got Qty.7 Audiosource AMP/1A amps comming in. I got Qty.4 Gemini CX1000 stereo electronic cross overs. I guess my 1st try at this, will be a simple passive Capacitor type xover from my mids to my tweets in my factory non-bi-ampable 3 way JBL s38 speakers, just because it is an easy...

The Sony's have been catching my eye quite a bit lately and then last night I got to tweek a Panasonic PT-60LC14 and I have to admit, it was an extremely impressive Display. Only tested with DVD, but man was it good. The owner didn't have any widescreen DVD's, so I took the Jurasic Park and...

Wednessday night will be my first time charged with setting up and tweaking a really large LCD RP display. Any and all expeirences and comments will be appreciated. Display in question is a Panasonic 60" PT-60LC14 LCD RP by the way....

I see them as an advertiser on here.... I also see on their site they have a 30day trial. I know somebody that has ultra neo moder type decor. I think these may be exactly what they were looking for from their vision / description of what they wanted is all.

I should know the answer to this one.... But I have to wonder still. Look at the picture of the rear of this player? Is this Component Video Out? Or could this be adapted to Component Video Out. RGBSync BnC connectors? I'd be looking for 480i Component Video out of it somehow...

From the pro audio world, Bi-amping / Tri-amping was always the way to go by the largest of margins. I'm thinking 14 power amps here and 7 channels of electronic cross over. Probably using two AVR's to provide all the power amps needed. Denon 4802 and a Pioneer 1014/1015 to achieve this...

My neighbor got a new HDTV.... Bought at CC yesterday, installed by me yesterday. Philips 60" Widescreen CRT RPTV, not open box, not refurbished. I gave it 2 big thumbs up and a twist... :) So if your feeling screen size deprived and don't want to spend a fortune. I give this one a...

I think I have found my purpose in life... It is going over to people's houses and really giving them what they think they already have.... Explanation... Last night this guy had a cable box with Dolby Digital Logo boldly displayed on the front. Only problem, it had no digital out what...

Is there a way to turn off the OSD for the Svideo out from the unit? When using zoom modes from this source, the OSD sort of whacks it out when I change volume is all. I sure didn't see it in the manual, if you can turn it off.

Are at least most of the Calibrationists listed on the Imaging Science website good? Just curious, I just contacted one of them to schedule the ISF. Mark West is his name and the company is calld CinemaSetup. Unless somebody has a particular horror story with this guy, I think he is...

I have been wondering what are the most common connections people use to their HDTV's??? Maybe a quick post about how many devices are connected through each type of connection used. Base it on devices, not inputs used, if yoru switching 3 devices to one port say with your AVR that counts...

I found out something last night about my new Philips, that sort of burns my ass. It clearly states everywhere in both pre-sales litterature and the manual. That a native widescreen mode is available for the HD 480p/1080i component video input. But in reality, that mode is only available...

Sharp DV-S2U DCDi for $99 Well, I have been back and forth and back and forth on getting a new DVD player. Hard call because my current cheapie 480i with component out has seemed outstanding letting the TV provide the Progressive Scan. Ahhh but of course, just knowing it may be able to be...

Really a great 2 parter presented in back to back segments in real widescreen HD. Makes you sort of realize the South sort of really won in the end.... Any thoughts or comments? I know I sure learned a ton of stuff, that surely was never covered when I was in school, thats for sure.
