What issues are you having? I can report two with mine:   1. Eject button on top of player doesn't work all the time...mostly doesn't work at all. The remote Eject works fine.   2. Some bizarre playback issues with discs, esp Netflix discs, but some I own myself. Sometimes it might...

Possibly they use a dynamic pricing model, though, which as orders come in (or don't) they change the price. Let's say I have tons of data on buying behavior, as Amazon probably does. I plan on selling and reordering about 90 S350s per month through my store (call it 3/day). On Day 1-3, I...

Are you including the price of the BD player as well? What do you consider "decent?" When one is upgrading from something that's fairly incapable as it is (say, just the through-the-TV sound), wouldn't you say that nearly any system will be an improvement? For a room like mine, which is maybe...

Thanks. This occurred to me as I was watching, and I tinkered with the output settings. I had to set a few of the preferences for the optical output to ensure they picked up multichannel formatting, and that did the trick. I still may wind up upgrading to a more modern HDMI receiver, like...

Yep. That's what I wound up doing. Also wound up going with the Sony S350, since it had most of what I wanted for $200 less. But you are right about the inputs/outputs. Now I just have to figure out what sound mode my older receiver should use. I'm thinking ProLogic II Movie mode. When I set...

And I guess one more question, since I'm not entirely familiar how chains of devices work. What's the best way to have the BD-50K and the Sony DAV-FX500 receivers co-exist? I want to ensure my 5.1 output gets to the right place and that I don't lose the 1080p signal from the BD-50K. Is...

I'm about to wander out for a Blu-Ray player, and I think I've narrowed it down. My constraints/system: Sony DAV-FX500 HTIB (5.1 system) connected to Samsung 1080p DLP with HDMI cables The Wife Speaks: Thou shalt not get a game console! (Truth be told, I don't really want one. No...

Back when I did digital darkroom stuff, we used to say that film was on the order of 3000 to 5000 lines per inch. If one 1080p frame has 1080 lines in it, a single photo frame should have 3-5x as much, and possibly more depending on the size of the crystals involved in the developing of the...

That's pretty much it. I've got a substantial but not amazing collection of SD-DVDs. I have a nice TV, and a player that upconverts, but not to 1080p. So I'm looking for a format neutral way of getting the best picture to my screen, but not invalidating any of my existing equipment (other than...

Wow, thanks, and cool. Looks like I can run the digital video output from the high def player, and run the audio through my existing receiver. Guess I just have to pick the player. :-)

The HTIB has a 5-disk DVD changer with all audio functions integrated. The componentry is basically the five speaker channels and the subwoofer, the DVD/receiver integrated unit, and that was it. One HDMI cable later, and I was watching 480p upconverted movies. As for the main DVD/receiver...

Last year we purchased a 56" Samsung DLP 1080p television and a Sony DAV-FX500 HTIB. I was wondering what one would have to do to upgrade the player to either BluRay or HD-DVD. Would the new player replace the existing one as-is? Would I need to plug the player into the existing DVD system...
