Hi All, I have been working at hacking away my cable costs. About two months ago, it was roughly $200 per month. Keep in mind that I never actually paid that, I called in once a year to get a deduction/special on my rate to cut it to about $150.00 per year. My options are: $125.00 for...

The DVD player has the option, it just doesn't seem to work. On the DVD side, I've turned off the "Send Audio" but it continues to send it back to the TV via HDMI. I would turn off the TV audio, but I use the TV speakers for regular cable programs. I haven't found a way to program the volume...

My problem here is that my DVD sends the audio to both the TV and the AVR. In order to watch a movie, I have to turn the TV audio all the way down (mute produces an icon on the TV). With the new AVR's coming out and supporting input from HDMI cables, what are my choices? I'd like to run my...

Tks I google a bit and came up with that one and this one from BTC: Newegg.com - BTC 9019URFIII Black 87 Normal Keys 12 Function Keys USB RF Wireless Mini Multimedia Keyboard with Dual Mode Joystick Mouse - Keyboards Both seem like good products...easy to slip away when not in use.

Where is everyone putting there computer mouse and keyboard with their theater setup? I've got a wireless mouse and keyboard, but not sure where to set it to keep it hidden but accessible.

Excellent input, thanks guys!

Thanks Ed! I haven't bought the TV yet (waiting until Black Friday), but should have reviewed the documentation online. Thank you. So, I don't quite understand the bit about "only 2 channel sound will be heard". Will the optical digital output of the TV not send the 5.1 or DTS signal...

Thanks for the quick reply John. For the DVD: The receiver has no HDMI input or output. The DVD has not digital optical input or output. My old setup was coax audio to the receiver and component video to the TV. Is there a way to get HDMI to the TV and audio to the receiver? My DVD gives...

Tell me what if this sounds right: TV: Samsung LN40A550 DVD: Toshiba SD-5000 Surround Sound Receiver: Pioneer VSX-D412 Cable: Time Warner: Explorer 8300 HD My main concern is the audio. In the past, I ran the DVD audio to the surround receiver via digital coax (TV/Cable used the TV...

Reading around a bit, it sounds like the progressive scan will only take the picture to 480p. So, with the component selection set, is it possible my TV is upconverting to 1080i? This would explain why the picture is better than progressive scan.

Hi All, I have a Philips 30PW8402/37 CRT HDTV and Toshiba SD-5000KU DVD player. The TV has component and HDMI inputs. Online, I found that the TV has EyeFidelity for progressive scan, however my physical manual does not mention this. Also, the TV is a 1080i. The DVD player allows for...

I switched the HDMI cord over to my cable box and I get the same crackling and video issues (snow...black...snow) when going between HD and regular TV.

Thanks Craig. Any ideas on the sound? It doesn't do this if I use component video. Another oddity, when in HDMI video the screen flips between snow and black while the movie menu comes up. The TV speakers crackle as well. Then when I start the movie, the player sends the audio to the TV...

Thanks. I think this link to philips.com answers my first question: http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/3/3...37_pss_eng.pdf It appears the TV can only handle 480p or 1080i. Is that right?

Sorry, wrong forum. Could an admin move this thread to Audio/Video Sources?

Hi All, Just upgraded my DVD player from a Samsung (old bought in 2000) to a Toshiba SD-5000. Just to give a background on my setup: TV: Philips HDTV 30PW-8402/37 Receiver: Pioneer VSX-D412 I've got two problems: 1)The DVD allows for HDMI input/output and can output in 480p, 720p...

My favorite moment from BR was when the campaign help put the cigarette with holder in his mouth ("reclaim your birthright"). For that one second, I was hoping he would do the "Quack, Quack, Quack" a la Burgess Meredith's portrayal. :)

I checked it out in PowerDVD and Windows Media...no other information is on there.

I have a Samsung DVD-M301. I just got a Region All DVD that won't play. The error it gives is: "Please check the TV system." I have another Region All DVD from China that plays fine. What could be the problem? The new DVD is format DVD 5 if that makes a difference. Is there a way to tell...

Well, I got my DVD. I can't tell if it is PAL format...this was the only one that had a different cover than the other ones on ebay (which were all PAL format). It is: Regsion Code: All Format: DVD 5 It plays on my computer, but my Samsung DVD (DVD-M301) gives a televsion error when I...

Story: Anyone know how to get a hold of one of these? The DVD is only availble in Region 0 PAL format...which apparently won't play on US Region 1.

I used a swab and some denatured alcohol and cleaned the lens. Oddly, the q-tip came out with some red on it. ??? Works fine now. What could that red be?

I have a Samsung single DVD player (DVD-M301). I bought it about 5 years ago. Up until tonight, it has played DVD flawlessly. Tonight, I pop in a DVD and hit play. Randomly, every few secs it stops the movie then starts it again (almost like it paused it). I never lose the video, it just pauses...

The problem I had with Insurrection was the forced parallel to The Voyage Home. The Voyage Home worked because there was a mis-guided probe that was going to destroy Earth...however they were in the past so they could do prat falls/italian dinners/surgery/etc as long as they made it back to that...

I was hoping you posted those backwards. Horrible, new video. :frowning:

Found this over at dvdtimes.com http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=56388 Anyone know how to access it?

Thanks again Scott!!!

That menu looks awesome!!! Thanks Scott! Could you do one for the second menu too? :)

Thank you, Thank you!!! I'm dying here. Mine was supposedly shipped on 3/04 but I'm still waiting. It's like Christmas. :) Can't wait to see the video of the menus.
