  1. From what I have found for example if I am watching a show that is a hdtv tv show but only broadcast the sound in a 2/0/0 format. or regular stereo in usual terms. The denon will display neo. When broadcast in 3/2/1 or better it will say dd ex(if back speaker is turned on?) or dts. I keep it in cinema mode for my tv vieiwing. I look at neo as a better version of prologic2. So in short I believe that is normal. If you notice for dvds usally the menu screen sound is neo but switched to dd or dts once you start the movie and it gets the correct signal Good Luck
  2. Looks good, but I think some wire management is in order!! Pet peeve of mine sorry! You have a lucky roomate!

    Great Movie

    Well i do agree that it was surpising after a week how he turned around and would di for the girl, but I didnt harp on it for to long. I was very confused at first with the editing clips! Yes I also would have like to have more back ground on him too. But for a wife pick at the video store I was happy and thought it sounded great on my Ht

    Great Movie

    Man I saw Man on Fire last night. Great movie and plently of bass, in fact the bass somehow screwed up the bulb in the sconce above the tv. They both are dimmed toghether, but some how it lights brighter I think the filament inside must of gotten moved. Anyway good movie, been busy so I usaully just read the post and see whats up, not too much time to posst Later
  5. The blue glasses or filter comes with the digital essentials dics. YOu could use that. Not sure about the phase though. Possibly it is out of phase?
  6. Really I did was use a ultity knife and sort of carved a v into the sheetrock in the area I wanted to run the wire, just try not to go throught the other side. Lay the wire in there and secure ( small tacks or even glue) it so it doesnt pop out while the spackle is drying. Throw a couple of coats of spackel on it and sand it, if it needs more spackel do one more coat and they lightly sand it. Very easy
  7. Go to your local roofing company and buy some fiberboard panels(one brand is celotex). They run about 20 - 25 dollars a piece and they are probably about 4x8ft in size. They will absorb sound very well, Good luck
  8. HI I believe they are rc- 3 II, not rc-7(dont have tht kind of dough yet!!) ...I bought those at home depot for about 12.00 dollars they matched perfect and came out just the right lenght for the speaker I think they came in 6, 8 and 10 in lenghts. I think those were 8's. The two brackets just support the speaker no shelve.. They were in the shelving department and were no more than simple shelf backets with a fancy plastic face. Good Luck
  9. Hi You can score the sheetrock and create and nice channel, just try not to go to the other side and break it through. And stick the wire in the channel you created, secure in there with hot glue or some plumbers putty and throw a couple of coats of spackle on it. And sand it out smooth, then throw another coat on. And hit with the spackele again, and sand it lightly. Slap some paint on it. done I have done it here take a look! Good Luck
  10. HI Well ignore that ext sub level. That is for something else. I would suggest that you get a audio/video calibration disc..like digial video essentials or avia. Run the FULL bandwidth pinknoise and use a rat shack sound meter and set your tones to 75db and the sub at 80-85db. I Have a denon 2803 and a svs powered sub and there is no problem on bass. Are you having this problem with just music, movies, both? Most likely you are missing something, yes the Denon takes some time to figure out, but it is great. I called them once and they were a great help Good Luck!

    Zenith dvb318

    I went through some of those hundreds of post on the avs forum. Lots of info! It seems that the 1080i option is the choice to go with. But I thought a progessive signal was better than a interlaced? I figured out to stop the disc first last night! Hey did you apply any one of those firmware patches or plan to? Thanks

    Zenith dvb318

    Funny I was just going to post about this player from my first dvd w/ it. I did not notice a difference in the picture quality, I ran the components cables to the hdtv. The pushed the up conversion button on the player. But nothing seemed to happen, no little symbol verify that it was upconveting or anything like that. I will look into the thread posted above, maybe I missed something, but as for now I am disappointed Thanks

    Zenith dvb318

    Rented cold mountain for tonight...I will see how 1080i looks and maybe tommorow take a quick peek at 720p Thanks
  14. I was luckly enough to get this dvd player before it the upscaling feature was removed. I see it can do 480i/720p/1080i. Would the 720prog,give a nicer picture than the 1080interlaced? Thanks
  15. Yeah it always such a pain and hassle to get the tv out with the wires and all and everytime I take the tv out it damages the pine ent center. I keep meaning to get it out each friday w/ a friend but it never happens. And I am afraid it will be gone for to long. The only other tv is a little 19 in the bedroom! It will get there, but I want to make sure that I was being to picky! Thanks
  16. Now real quick here is the problem, I bought a Toshiba 36hf73 about 4 months ago for about 1600 bucks. The first one had a hour glass curve on the top left and bottom left corners(most easily seen during a widescreen dvd or when a straight line is displayed on the screen for example my tv guide function). The top left is the most noticable. I returned it w/ the dealer that hasseled me on it being returned. The second one did the same thing( I believe to be from the way the rolled the box!! I got a tech guy out, couldnt fix it from the service menus(although here had the manual for the prev year model, which was missing alot of the explanation for the newer menu adjustments). He said he could take it to the shop, but I was not prepared for that, cables, speakers. I didnt want to just tear it out real quick. Now I am thinking about bringing it in my self w/ some help. Now it is a heavy unit which barely fits in the center, and in the basement! Take a look at the pic is the curvature bad or is it me. P.S I had the 32 inch model for the year before with such curve THanks
  17. Thanks for all the good response. I will look into all of them Thanks again
  18. Thanks....I have tried a few, but havent found a real good one yet!
  19. I have the 2803 with the gun metal finsih. I love it Good luck
  20. I just got done reformatting my comp, due to a nastly virus that ran havoc on the web and just about everything else. I run norton antivirus, but wondering what pop stopper adware stopper(spyware) are you using. Ihave adaware 6 but I still get some popups Thanks
  21. I guess I will need to pick one up real soon! I guess I should check the box to see when it was manufactured, and apply no firmware updates. Would those that own one say it looks alot better than a standard dvd pic. Are you using the dvi or the comp output? Thanks
  22. No I believe you are supposed to do te spl test after the band limited, after those are dont the full band test continues test with those not the limited! Good luck
  23. Hi Thanks I will check it out that is about a half hour north for my I am in ocean county. Usually I looked aroung in 6ave..or BB Thanks
  24. Well I am happy with my current one but I have nothing to weigh it against. My last dvd player was a sony, I bought in 2000 for 500 bucks I think it was there flagship model and it had a horrible lip-sync problem..it was fixed like three times Thanks for you thoughts
  25. Hi Yeah that is pretty much happened at 00 it was too loud. I guess I will just calibrate it at 15 or 10 with the dve disk and not bother doing the receiver test tones Thanks
