Hi, new here. I searched for my question and found good info, but nothing really answered my specific question. I hope someone can help me.
I just bought a used Pioneer PDP-5050sx (my understanding it's the PDP5050HD without the HD receiver) and for some reason the image when my DVD player is sent to output 480i is better than when I set it to 480p. The 480p is jagged and full of artifacts. Is this possible or is something wrong with one of the units? My DVD player is a 3 year old cheap Sony payer. Is it possible that my plasma display is already de-interlacing the 480i and setting the DVD player to 480p is somehow screwing it up? I assumed that the TV processor would recognize a progressive signal and not do anything. Even more weird is that when I turn off the "Pure Cinema" processing for hi def quality, the image is the same whether the DVD output is i or p. Overall the picture seems to be best when I set the DVD player to output 480i, and turn the plasma processing on.
Is this a case of bringing in someone to callibrate so that I have peice of mind that I'm getting the best pic? I'm actually very happy with the picture, but I want to make sure I'm getting the most out of it.
Thanks!
